| | As I went home this weekend, I took a visit to Potomac Mills mall. We were bored on a Sunday and didn't feel like going home and just sitting there and doing nothing. We notice that like everyone and their mom has on Virginia Tech stuff on, and I thought "I'm glad that people are showing support of the school like that". But as I wondered around the mall some more, I noticed I would pass stores that had Virginia Tech merchandise at the very front of the store, and a LOT of it. Then I thought, wow. It's a damn shame these stores are trying to capitalize on a tragedy by making some extra cash off this so-called tragedy to them. I mean, think about it, people are buying up VT merchandise like people buy Santa Claus crap for Christmas....Tragedy=Money! Cha-ching! I just think it's so shameful that companies find the need to make profits off people who died for nothing. That, and how the media has blown this thing up. I mean, sure, they deserve to have coverage because a shooting like that in schools is unheard of, but to show the damn crazy killer every single second on the news, showing off his pictures of him with a gun to his head or with a hammer or with a gun pointing to the camera, do you think the victims families want to see that crap??? They gave EXACTLY what that stupid bastard wanted, ATTENTION! Now, we get all these copycats people trying to imitate what he did by threatening other schools in the nation...retarded. Here at ODU we had a threat for a shooting that shut down our campus last Wednesday. The media just should concentrate on the victims, rather than trying to blame the President of Virginia Tech. Sure, IMO I think they could have done more to find Cho after the first shooting, but VT is a HUGE campus. HUGE! I thought ODU was big, but ODU is like half the size of VT, literally....Bah, I just hate how the media and companies portray a tragic event. I mean, this can happen to us easily anytime, anywhere, not just school.
But I'm glad everyone I know turned out to be okay. I just wish all this retarded nonsense and violence would end. It's so silly. Anyways, one week and a day or two and I'm out of here! Can't wait! This semester was crap. School is crap, it's a waste of time IMO. Suck my thigh. Peace
