Having watched the (IMO excessive) coverage of this on the BBC, I can't help but think that the more coverage they give the event and the distasteful 'record', the more likely it is to re-occur, and to be 'bettered'.

The little **** got the recognition in death that he never received in life. They're still referring to him as a 'resident alien' or 'asian' as well... which doesn't seem relevant...

Sorry to hear it has gotten that close to the GT community Tonja, but still relieved it's no closer...
