[Porsche-O-Phile]

It's called satire.

In this case, pointing out the inherent contradiction in America sitting in front of their televisions (or computer screens) waiting with baited breath for news about the quake victims or whether "quake lake" is going to overflow and kill thousands more.

If we REALLY gave a damn about these people, we'd be a bit more concerned about their day-to-day plight, wouldn't we?

But I guess we gotta' have those $4 shirts at WalMart. Like tabs correctly said, "life is cheap", right? It's a lot simpler to just give ourselves a "feel-good" pat on the back, pretend to care and go right back to exploiting them when things return to normal.
