Wrongful Accusation

Was watching teevee and I saw a news segment about this poor woman working as a zoo helper who'd been mauled to death by a leopard while she was cleaning its cage. Very sad, I'm sure. But that's not what made me laugh. What made me laugh was: [onscreen: image of a leopard pacing in its cage] Audio: The woman was mauled by a leopard, similar to this one... I can't wait for the next piece of quality photojournalism... [onscreen: a random man, walking down the street] Audio: The bank was robbed by a man, similar to this one... Or perhaps: [onscreen: a small firecracker] Audio: Hiroshima was blown up by a huge atomic bomb, similar to this one... Oh now that's just bad taste! Off to bed with no dessert...
