Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito Acquitted.

F*ck.

**I** couldn't do it and **I** wrote it in the first place.

My point is that Amanda Knox is a media phenomenon, not especially because of the facts of the case. She's a phenomenon because she's been made into one. Like how Sarah Palin was, for a short but scary time, a vice presidential candidate. For the same reason Ron Paul wasn't the close second place finisher in the Iowa Straw Polls, but instead we got headlines like Michele Bachmann wins with Romney in third place.

It's fucking media hype. tw just said it funny, that's all.

My point was that he got every one of his tire old talking points in one sentence.

I couldn't really care less about Amanda, nor whatshisname

One reason her boyfriend sank into the background was that the initial prosecution basically characterised him as entirely under the spell of Knox (the femme fatale).

From the perspective of the media though, she's more interesting. Not just because she's a chick, but also because she's an English-speaking American chick, caught up in a foreign justice system. That makes it inherently more interesting to American and British media and public.

I like it because it makes Mr. Clod's breath smell good.

Whether or not it causes cancer, be your own judge.

They did drop the alcohol content when earlier testing showed a cancer risk with alcohol concentrations above a certain point.
