I'll second UP in firmly stating that the Anders Breivik massacre was in fact very prominent in the news here.
I third Mr. Paragon.
Breivik was HUGE in the news! Granted, the wingnuts among us would de-emphasize his being a white male "Christian" but it was still huge news and considered a HUGE tragedy by everybody (except the most deranged wingnuts).
Besides, how could you ignore "Maniac bombs a building, killing a few people to divert the police's attention so he can go to a summer camp and gun down DOZENS of innocent kids who were just having some woodsy fun".
