As a former newspaper guy, I was stunned when I saw that NYDN cover. It's awful.

As a current newspaper guy, yeah, that's just an idiot editor.

Whichever editor(s) green lighted that cover should be fired. Just an awful decision to go with that.

Edit: Just to add, I won't watch the first-person video. Part of the reason is I really don't want to see somebody die. But just as big a reason is the nutjob recorded it knowing it would get attention. Maybe me not watching it doesn't change a thing, but I'm not about to give him what he wanted.

Both the Post and the News are crap papers.

Same feeling here. I watched the live news clip, and didn't get queasy until I realized the camera is on the ground because that man died.

It may not be graphic, but it's sickening watching someone's last seconds. I will not watch the first person video for reasons you stated on top of me not wanting to test my curiosity.

I've seen a million movie deaths, killed a ton of video game avatars, but I'll never be okay with seeing it in reality.

I hope every trace of that video is scrubbed from the Internet.

I know it probably doesn't make you feel better, but if it does, the camera is on the ground because he let go of it by his own will. He hadn't yet been shot.

Still doesn't change the unfortunate inevitable that, well, he was still.

Today I learned that EZ Tag which is for tolls in Houston and can be used throughout Texas is not the same thing as E-ZPass.

This could have been potentially wonderful.

I love both though Big Macs are a bit on the small side.
If I could only have one it would definitely be the Whopper.

Whoever came up with that idea is a genius and deserves a raise.

Not just for the idea of combining the two burgers, but the fact that regardless of McDonald's answer (which was stupidly no), it makes BK look good.

Re: Off Topic 2015

I wanna see some chains come together and see what they can come up with. If oreos and kit kats can combine with all these other flavors, I can only imagine what fast food could do

Now I'm half tempted to drive around to all the fast food joints and just combine everything myself

Re: Off Topic 2015

I combined Taco Bell and Raising Cane's.

I didn't regret it one bit.

Re: Off Topic 2015

Break Point and Point Break are both coming out this year. Imagine if they were in theaters at the same time. That would just be one big cluster-you-know-what.

Dunno what those to movies will be rated, but reminds me of a story I saw a month or so ago when both Inside (a kids movie) and Insidious (an R-rated horror movie) were playing in the same theater and the theater accidentally started showing Insidious on the screen that was supposed to be showing Inside.
