I am Outraged!

[Inverse Skies]

Hm, I suppose I can see your interpretation.

Although "hyperbole" should not ever be plural, rather, it does not need an "s".

[small]...I'm sorry.[/small]

Haha, don't worry about it! We were both right, you just applied one definition of the word and myself another, nothing to it!

Because controversy and mass hysteria sells...

There's no news like bad news

Nothing in the universe moves faster than light, with the exception of bad news. And of course, it logically fallows that nothing moves news papers faster than light, with the exception of bad news.

One of my favourite Tool songs shares this bit of social commentry on the subject...

Spoiler

Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be

Like:
"Killed by the husband" ...
"Drowned by the ocean" ...
"Shot by his own son" ...
"She used a poison in his tea,
Then (she) kissed him goodbye"
That's my kind of story
It's no fun til someone dies.

Don't look me at like I am a monster
Frown out your one face, but with the other (you)
Stare like a junkie into the TV
Stare like a zombie while the mother holds her child,
Watches him die,
Hands to the sky cryin "why, oh why?"

Cause I need to watch things die from a distance
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
You all need it too - don't lie.

Why can't we just admit it?

It's very true...
