Airing death on TV - 06-28-2011, 01:04 PM

A few times since I've come to Japan I've seen footage of someone dying, with mosaics on the smallest parts. It isn't in poor taste, but it's still looped a few times.

I forget now, in North America, is actual death footage aired? I can't remember actually seeing it.

The reason I ask is because the JFK head-shot footage was just looped like 6 times in tv here with a tiny mosaic on it, and I felt the same way I do when I see any death footage, I think "... that's a real person, a human, dying.. not a movie or something..." .

It's not just death footage but also like super high res HD zoom-in's of someone's blood all over the road after a car accident or a stabbing or whatever.

These clips seem to bother me, and I can't seem to remember feeling this way in Canada, and I know the States is more sensitive than Canada about these things.
