Video of NY Suicide Appears on Prn Site

When I read that headline last night on Reuters, I knew that there could only be one site to find snff films: http://www.consumptionjunction.com/ (graphic). The video, which was posted under the title "Introducing: The Self-Cleansing Housing Projects," has since been taken down and Editor Grande Paul has offered on the site main page his condolences to the family, a back-story of how the tape got to the site as well as a criticism of the same journalists who are chastizing him for requesting copies of the video for their own exploitative use. ABCnews 7 has their 6 O'Clock news report on how the video got onto a "prn site" here.

Interestingly the Journal had an article in today's edition asking the question When News Is Gruesome, What's Too Graphic?: "The different approaches taken by television and the Internet show how the proliferation of raw news available to anyone with a computer and Internet connection has altered decision-making for traditional media outlets." Specifically, the article addresses The Fallujah Massacre and the differing treatment between the internet and tv. Drudge Report last night linked to this graphic yahoo news image search whereas "U.S. news channels were unusually cautious about putting the footage on TV."

The other question, and I've asked this a few times in the last few days, what were the cops doing on Consumption Junction?
