This story is soooo white trash that I believe it might just bring back the mullet hairstyle -and not just for lesbians either. The imagery portrayed in this story is causing irreparable harm to our cultural DNA.

All levity aside, our news has become a factory producing the propaganda of fear. We have to be afraid of everything so that we can be easily manipulated. According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, if we are constantly focused on our own safety, we will have difficulty in respecting others, developing morality, overcoming prejudice, and even accepting facts.



So we trade the rest of the pyramid for safety –and we feel bad about it. Soon, we cannot face ourselves or the news. So, we search for entertainment. Stories about Kid Rock or Britney Spears become newsworthy as our sense of priority becomes diluted with a need for comic relief.

But it is the people in power that get the last laugh as we become giggling accomplices to their atrocities.
