Fame-seeking mass shooters tend to receive more media attention, suggests a new study. About 96% of fame-seeking mass shooters received at least one mention in the New York Times, compared to 74% of their counterparts. The media may be reinforcing their motivations, and contributing to copycats.

This sounds like I am making a joke, but what if articles included a specific negative characteristic that most people would not want to be associated with.

"The shooter, identified as Tom McArthur, 18 yo from Dullsville KY had the misfortune of having an extremely short penis. People who grew up with McArthur said the shooting was probably related to his biological misfortune" Then go on reporting the news.

Since mass shootings are almost as readily known to be happening as hurricanes, news organizations have a pre-programmed line (like the alphabetical naming of hurricanes) which would be added to the news articles. 1st one of year - small penis, second - no real friends, third - listened to nickelback constantly, fourth - small penis and nickelback, etc, etc.

I'm still not joking
