That's Entertainment?

Saturday night, after an exhausting day, I enjoyed some televisual fun on E! The Soup was good, as always, and they even played one of the best episodes of SNL of the past several years, when Justin Timberlake took hosting duties.

My laughs were interrupted when I caught a promo for the upcoming E! special on the 15 most shocking violent crimes.

Ummm, what? I've heard the old newspaper adage, "If it bleeds, it leads," but should an entertainment network focused mostly on celebrities and reality shows starring pseudo-celebrities really devote time to something so depressing? And should depressing events really be quantified in countdown form?

Shame on E! for trying to capitalize on violence. Shame.
