Insensitivity

There's a gory video circulating around the office this week. It's MMS so its getting around fast. It's a video of a man getting decapitated in the butchery-texas-chain-saw-massacre-ic way. They said the man was Russian. Terrorists were sawing his head off while he squealed in pain like a baby. I had the foresight and enough sensitivity AND enough allergy to office gossip not to be tempted to watch it. People who did watch it, watched earnestly. It was the after effects that got them. Hard.

What is it that you get out of watching a person's suffering and death? And to watch it like some form of entertainment? And to pass it on so carelessly through fone MMS is disrespectful to the person dying. I hope to the gods that the video is a hoax.
