The ad agency has turned icons of tragedy into fodder for selling newspapers. It's a technique that's breathtaking in its audaciousness.

It also makes me want to lose my breakfast. But, hey -- that's just me.

Can't help wondering if they've already dispatched photographers to the Virginia Tech campus for round 2.
