This past week has been very depressing since the horrible shooting at Virginia Tech happened Monday. I lost words after seeing Cho's videos again and again, and hearing the endless reports everywhere, on TV, on radio, on internet, on newspaper...Then I saw this post "The Blame Game" from Cynical-C Blog - a who-to-blame-list which satirically reveals many political, social and cultural prejudice existing in American society. There are some great ones such as "It’s the first victim’s fault", "it's the fault of the Chinese", "it's Bill Gates' fault" etc. I think we should also add "It's Marilyn Manson's fault" :P Someone should make a documentary based on this list, something like Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine !
