    Anyone think this was a bit gratious?Showing a photo of the head of that Dublin drug dealer who was found dismembered in a canal in Amsterdam.

    They put it there because it increases publicity and thus sales, similar to this topic.

    It reminds me of that headless somalian that was found in the canal in Dublin.

    Jesus, that page looks as poorly laid out and written as the paper does. Consistency is a good thing.

    He is not a representation of working class Ireland.
    I'm from a working class area and I don't give a fiddlers fuk that they showed a picture of him. I'd feel sorry for his mother and father having to see it, thats about all.

    I know the family, and in particular his sister quite well. My heart aches for her having to deal with such a situation, and to see her brothers dismembered head on the front of the papers must have been so awful. Whatever about what he was, good people cared for him, and now they're hurting as a result of this coverage. All to make a few quid.

    Why stop at his head?

    Why not have the whole collection of body parts, intestines, entrails, genitals all displayed on the front page in glorious technicolor? All in full view of the nations children and this guys family and friends...He is a drug dealer after all.

    My opinion? This is seriously sick sh1t and I will never buy the sunday world again after they engaged in this snuff garbage journalism. No better than those iraqi beheading videos. Our society is seriously ****ed if we think its ok to put a mans severed head on the front page of a national newspaper and call it journalism. This crap belongs on rotten.com/

    What of the people he himself hurt?
    He chose that path in life.

    He chose that path, not his family. He's not here to bear the shame, those who loved him are.

    Do you think printing a picture of his dismembered head helped those he hurt? I don't think anyone wants to see that. And again, printing the picture serves only to hurt innocent people who loved him, not the man himself.
