I was reading some of their news articles and saw some of the pictures of Marc-Vivien Foe. Can you believe it that they are letting people 'rate' these pictures??!!!!!

Do they not have any morals at all? I know of freedom of the press but that is taking the ....!!!

My mate has written to yahoo to complain!

My deepest sympathies go out to his family.

Rating the pic is disgusting, showing it is not, you are being to sensitive - maybe as you all like football or sport?

We have seen pictures of distress and dead bodies on TV and in papers for ages? I can think of plenty.

Ayton Senna's & Roland Ratzenburger's crash
Iraq War
Starving victims in Ethiopia
World trade centre

I am sure we add many more - this is not the first time is it?

Hello

Yes, I understand your feelings. But it's just a standard program where you can rate images from the news.

Lighten up.

Hillsborough stadium too..........

I am sure ther are loads......why are we getting upset about this on ein particular?

......Tommy Cooper, the list goes on.

I am not being insensitive, I just dont understand the drama here?

the yahoo site is just a standard template, they haven't just set up the rating system specially for these photos.

Have to agree with you boxst.
It is the news. We see worse pics pretty much every day. What sort of pic do you expect the media to use ?? something from fluffybunniesandflowers.com ?
I do feel for the poor guys family for their loss

There is a site on the net at the moment, who has the video of him collapsing too !.. not very nice

That was my thought too.
However i thought the photo of him on the floor all over the front of some tabloids was a tad insensitive,i mean did it have to be full page.

And werent these the same papers moaning about a bbc program showing dead uk soldiers (faces hidden)a few weeks ago?

davyboy

We see dead imagies in the news weekly. Why is this one so different?
