Cheery story, cheery TV

From Feministing:

A woman in Spain, Svetlana Orlova, was killed by her by her ex-boyfriend after she rejected his marriage proposal on a television talk show.

...

He says the problems in their relationship were over money. She pointed out there was a bit more...like the abuse.

Days later, Navarro stabbed her to death. The television show is denying any responsibility for her death (shocking), though some are calling for the show to be canceled. How about this...how about they just not potentially put women in danger by enabling abusers to get access to them? Seems simple, no? But that wouldn't be good television, I guess.

This also might be something to think about if you watch those "Who's the daddy" shows, or other titillating shows put out.


How often are producers throwing lit matches at open powder kegs?

And how often are people sitting back and watching, for their own amusement?
