Sick, on so many levels... And the fact that people actually download it, makes it even more revolting, turning this freaking tragedy into some sort of freak show to everyone's delight. After watching both "Traces of Death" 1 & 2 and losing 4 nights of sleep, I became against the broadcasting of people dying, unless it's non-graphical and envolving no suffering (like dying on sleep) or under the deceased demands.

I've seen both TPM and AOTC in it's midnight pre-opening days (before you guys did, because of the time zone!), and in both the reactions were something like that, because the theater was full of SW fans and geeks, no "normal" person. In TPM I remember people booing when "A long time ago" appeared onscreen because Lucasarts translated it, people going "yay" when the Star Wars logo appears. After that, a mordib silence fell on the theater, for obvious reasons.

On AOTC it was even funnier. People went crazy on the star wars logos again, I could hear some "oh no's" over the audience when Jar Jar appeared. People laughed when Palpatine said he "loved the republic" or something like that (regular audiences didn't even understand it), and they were all excited (there were some laughs) when Yoda fights Dooku. And I remember some people silently going "wow cool the death star" when the death star plans appeared (which is my favorite prequels moment). Hehehe there was this guy with a Bobba Fett helmet, I wonder if he took it of to see the movie. Can't wait to see what'll happen when episode 3 ends. I predict massive riots on the streets, followed by a violent bloodbath.

And... why does people applaud a movie? The actors are not there! There's nothing there! It's only light on a screen!

Oh she was so cute, and smart, and such a great actress and dancer... I wonder why there aren't lots of movies staring a CGI Shirley Temple by now. Maybe they're waiting for her death to happen.

Meanwhile, at this moment, the 80+ year old Shirley Temple is sitted next to her swiming pool, dressed as she was in the 30s, with a cigarette holder on her trembling right hand, and a martini on her left hand, saying stuff like: "Hah... What in heavens name is this thing called CD player...? Has the world gone mad?"
