London Bombings

No Singaporeans were harmed during the bombings. Wonder which part of Europe Jx and her boyfriend is in now? Hopefully not London, since the situation there seems chaotic. It's freaking scary planting bombs at what 5 to 6 subway stations and 2 double deckers. Really hope that they are not in London.
If it's our MRT stations being bombed... Almost happened though. Quite nearby to boot. Realised that people will not make a big outburst of things that almost happened, but never did. Only when something happens and people die, then there will be alot of news. Perhaps it's also because there's no news to report when nothing happens. The media cashes in when there's sensational news. Take the 911 incident for instance. I'm pretty sure they made a quick buck when people grabbed all newspapers and magazines off the rack. I think that its neither right nor wrong for the media to cash in on bad news. They are reporting facts and giving the public what they want. However, this only extends to 'real news' not gossip columns.
I am guilty of reading gossip columns sometimes. But, is it ethical for a publishing company to cash in on someone's private life? Pitiful sods.
Sorry about the GPish entry! Haha.
