You're not in touch. I cant blame you though. A lot of people dont know what it means to be human today. When you can log on to the web and see gruesome acts of violence and unfortunate fates, it makes you almost forget that that was a real person with a real life instead of... Internet content for your entertainment...

This is an amazing photo essay, but NTers in this thread basically picked the handful of the least powerful pics to post in here. Amy Winehouse? Pepper spray? $#+#.
