An Italian woman who arrived late for the Air France plane flight that crashed in the Atlantic last week has been killed in a car accident, it has been reported.
Check out the comments: lots of random strangers brooding together about Death and The Meaning of It All round the campfire, splitting the communal bone and handing round the marrow to suck. It’s the human equivalent of chimps crooning and picking the fleas out of each others fur, and quite touching as such. One way or another, the internet does bring out the primate in humans.
Which primate? I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the C21st will answer the question "Are we chimps or bonobos?" one way or another.

A case of Hollywood Primitives, surely - I think a lot of the commenters are confusing the plot of the "Final Destination" movie with religious thought. I quite enjoyed all the "Final Destination" films, but the title of "Final Destination: 2" was always a problem. (Did they consider "Final Destination 2: Finaller destination" to be followed by "Final Destination 3: Finalest destination")

Brooker got it rightest, firstest, with his list of pointless sequels which came out in tvgohome. From memory, the best one was "Re: You've got mail!"
