nucklehead Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 OTTAWA - The selection of Luka Rocco Magnotta as Canada's 2012 Newsmaker of the Year lit up the country's social media and news web sites on Sunday with a cyclone of outrage and condemnation. The alleged killer, who now sits in a Montreal detention centre as his case goes through the legal process, was the subject of a global manhunt last spring after a Chinese engineering student was killed, his body cut up and remains mailed to four different locations in Ottawa and British Columbia. The event, including Magnotta's capture last June at a Berlin internet cafe, was splashed across newspaper front pages and Web sites all over the world.

Dazzle Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 The guy doesn't deserve any attention whatsoever. There should be more awareness and legislation against child abuse (of which Magnotta allegedly was one such victim) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buggernut Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Thanks media for playing into his hands and giving him the attention and notoriety that he sought so much by giving him this honour. Now we all know what we have to do to become famous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I don't watch the news. People whining about things i don't care about and otherwise sensationalized bullcrap. I guess Lucca Magnotta falls under category 2. Meanwhile, isn't Bieber the actual Canadian newsmaker of the year, according to Ipsos Reid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 The parents don't care what i think. They don't know i exist. But of course i feel for them. Who wouldn't? I don't watch the news because of the reasons you've specified. The media sensationalizes a story to death and then abruptly drops it without a care in the world when something else pops up. Combine that with all the people whining about crap i don't give a crap about on a daily basis, and it's goodbye, tv news. I don't miss it. Lucca Magnotta is newsmaker of the year? How? He was dropped just as quickly as any of the other sensationalized stories they drummed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
