Hey KARE 11, Graphic Violence != News

Dear KARE 11,

What is WRONG with your evening news? Who made the decision to show live video of a woman and her child being hit by a car? That is fucking sick and wrong. Precursoring the video with some announcement that it 'may be disturbing' does NOT give you the right to show shit like that. What about people who don't have the sound up? What about people like me, who were simply walking through the living room while the TV is on, and are suddenly and unwillingly subjected to horrific, graphic violence of that caliber? If people want to see that, they will go to the movie theatre, pay for it, and watch it on their own terms.

Since no one there at KARE is intelligent enough to filter your news, I am happy to help you out. Here are some tips that will boost your ratings:

1) Find whomever chose/approved/allowed that video to air, drag them out to the parking lot, run them over (with their own car), videotape it and show it to their family. Make sure to get the camera up close to their faces, to catch their initial, horrified reactions.

2) Change your call letters to SHIT

You sick bastards,

Sincerely,
Conrad Zero
