The Crying Game

Oh to be a florist! Watching all this stuff on the news about the two pram faces above who were hit by a train was, well, whatever it was. The bit that made me puke was all the other pram faces standing hugging each other and crying ot placing bunches of flowers.

Two things here, one, the thing with the flowers. Why, and where did this shite with placing flowers come from? The first time I rememeber it was when Princess Di[ed with everybody knowing she was an old slut] did the crash test dummy stunt. Of course, things have dummed down a bit since then. How much longer will it be before people start laying flowers at the site of every rear end shunt or wing-mirror-clip?

The other thing that makes me cringe is this thing with people hugging each other and crying. I've seen this stunt pulled in real life and people do it for the cameras. A TV crew has only to pop it's head over the parapets at the scene of a bit of blood on the floor and the Sky Sports 35 / Burberry wearing brigade start the hugging and crying thing. Load of old crap.
