Dont you hate it when people joke about a serious topic such as terrorism (especially Domestic Terrorism) just so they can get views on their topic and website. Basically this one kid lied about a terrorist attack and linked his source and guess what? His source was his website to his portfolio, I for one feel that this isn't a joke and it's never okay to joke around when talking about this topic.

While I agree that what he did was abhorrent and stupid, I think a distinction should be made between joking about terrorism and exploiting terrorism. Considering terrorists themselves bear most of the brunt in jokes about terrorism I have no problem with it, but this person was just exploiting terrorism.

I don't know if he's unintelligent, ignorant, or just didn't care but I know how I felt when I read that topic title and I can't imagine any ethically thoughtful person thinking that it would be OK to put potentially hundreds of people through that same gut wrenching feeling for the sake of getting a few views on their portfolio.

It's also quite an eye-opening thing to realize that I didn't even question the authenticity of that headline when I read it. It's bad that we now live in a world where a 230+ death toll at Disney Land is a headline that we actually believe. It might just have been me, but I suspect that it wasn't. That's a conversation for another time though.

I hope that he realizes what he did wrong, but he probably won't and he's probably laughing to himself right now.
