I don't know about you but I find that even more than a few minutes of Entertainment Tonight to be so fast-moving that (as well as the content), I feel dizzy and slightly nauseated after watching it for more than a few minutes.
Anyway, it appears that News may be heading that way. Check out this CNN video, about the murder of an attractive woman and her two sons (not quite a Yee - Haaa! moment because they were strangled), possibly by their father, an ex-marine.
While the editing is basically simple, cutting between a reporter and the talking head, the graphics are intense - quite an experience.
Frankly, they suggest a society so in need of stimulation that it cannot possibly be at peace with itself and that if the U.S. government is successful in its anti-drugs fights in Mexico & Afghanistan - another two home-grown/made drugs will inevitably, soon to be found. One will pick people up (like cocaine) and one will bring them down (like marijuana).
As for the case - well, those crimes don't tend to happen in the rest of the world - but they're becoming obscenely common in the USA. Yee - haa!

That is dreadful. I could only watch 2 minutes of that scanning, spinning, panning kaleidoscope. Although had I not been trying to watch it on your recommendation, I would have switched off after "... on her own. bed. ... FACE. DOWN."
You're reading the news, woman, not starring in a trailer for the next low-budget crime movie. Sheesh.
Yes, I noticed that too. Both appalling and terrifying that such reporting will soon become common-place.
