OMG. Were they related to Cena's promos?

It's tenuous to try and connect this stuff up with suicides because you're basically using the "TV/Video Games/movies/whatever makes you violent" argument, that the medium is actually dictating our behaviours and moralities. I know you're not referencing the kids themselves watching then killing themselves, but for there to be any sort of link, the reason has to be tied in somehow. Like, say, the people who bully them got their morality from WWE, the same way the Columbine guys "learned to kill" from Doom.

At best, you can argue it's poor taste, but I honestly doubt there's an increase in gay teens killing themselves, so it's not so much something new or shocking.

That's not to say "hur hur gay bashing is awesome." It's just saying "STFU with the Jack Thompson defense."
