Another pointless media poll

Message Bookmarked

The Samaritans have conducted a poll of the most emotional moments ever. See here for details.

So, does the death of Diana really still have such resonance (see all the documentaries this week, the "EXHUME DIANA" headlines on the front of one of the papers today)? Are there any value in such polls? And what public event, if any, has affected you that you carry it with you at the front of your mind so that it could be given as a response to such a poll being conducted?

I can't see but I think it is a bit ridiculous to confuse these with really emotional moments, haha.

aw, crosspost.

By the latter part of my question, I just mean that these responses seem like the most obvious ones...are they obvious because they're true?

It's easy to confuse mass hysteria with genuine emotion. It's easy for emotions to become mass hysteria. It's even harder in retrospect to determine what is what.

Ananova is a really terrible news source, I have noticed.

I actually read this on teletext first of all, which seems to delight in picking up the worst of all news stories.
