The story gets a little tacky in the last paragraph. Is this guy’s death just another example of “juicy celebrity news?” Maybe take that paragraph out when yuor talking about the beating death of a guy who really wasn’t a celebrity.

Maybe Tonya Harding was in on it, too. Get over it Portland. She’s a hack. Seen her picture lately? Woah!

That last paragraph is automatically attached to ALL stories posted to this section. Figure it out KerryFo(ol).

Just because the last paragraph is “automatically attached to ALL stories posted to this section” doesn’t mean that it is not incredibly tack and bad journalism.
