Yes, there's sickening stuff at this blog. The aim is to motivate people to do something about Plattsburgh's chronic problems.
Also, this blog comes with a warning.
But let's say you woke up today, a quiet Sunday morning, and decided to read the Press-Republican in paper form while eating breakfast. You go to the Spectrum section and notice an article on knee surgery by a local reporter. Then without warning you see a somewhat fuzzy version of this image:
Or maybe you read the Press-Republican online with a laptop or notebook computer while munching at the breakfast table. Then you get the full effect of the image:
For some reason that fried bacon and scrambled eggs on your plate doesn't look appetizing anymore.
What's the purpose of showing the scar in such detail? Is the Press-Republican now a medical journal? I don't expect to see close-ups of surgical scars in a "family" newspaper.
What was the aim of including such an image? To get people to throw up on their newspapers or computers?
