Notice.

I used to pretend like I was very sophisticated, posting only about world events and fashion and intellectualism. But let’s be honest. The most important things to me are not limited to the things that blogger personalities typically showcase. These are what get me through bad nights—Father Ted with a cup of milky earl grey, or a half-hour of dancing around the kitchen singing the Buffy musical. Real stuff.

In truth, there are more black men in the grip of the criminal-justice system—in prison, on probation, or on parole—than were in slavery then.

North Korea To Punish Mourners Who Were Insincere

Newser reports that mourners who came off as insincere have already been sent to join the 200,000 other North Koreans already in labor camps. An Amnesty International report published in May 2011 paints a dark picture of what’s in store at those camps — estimates suggest that 40 percent of inmates die of malnutrition.

Please explain to me then why the “journalist” who wrote this thought it was appropriate to make light of the situation with this lead:

You’d better watch out, you’d better cry. You’d better pout, I’m telling you why: North Korea’s punishing insincere mourners…

Seriously, I could make an entire blog about bad journalism.

You want a job, a vacation, heath insurance, validation, a back rub, a scalp massage at the place where you get your haircut, people who are jealous of you, an ex who won’t stop texting you when they’re drunk, Twitter followers, happiness maybe sorta, someone to buy you lunch at a fancy restaurant, a mentor who can tell you what the hell to do with your life, a reliable internet connection, a reliable human connection, a gift card to the grocery store, dinner parties with friends where everyone will pretend to have their crap together for just one night, a nice flirty text message to wake up to every morning for the rest of your life, for everyone to like you even if you don’t like anyone, and one of those nights that doesn’t end till 9 AM and reminds you what it feels like to be young and alive.
