Such a shame

Thank you for posting the link, giving us all the chance to "Gawp" at the pictures you are so offended by

I didnt expect anyone to gawp at them at all, it'd be a bit stupid to ask people to complain about something i didnt include in the article.

It wasn't meant to offend.

I along with many people who complained have been contacted by the PCC -

Thank you for contacting the Press Complaints Commission in regard to the coverage of the death of Marco Simoncelli, who died during the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday 23 October. We have received numerous complaints about the coverage, mainly on Mail Online but also in the Daily Mirror. Most of the complaints have been framed under Clause 5 (Intrusion into grief or shock) of the Editors’ Code of Practice.

In line with our standard procedures, we will, in the first instance, seek to contact the representatives of the family of Mr Simoncelli to make them aware of our services, and how we can assist at such a time of grief. Clearly we will have to consider the impact of the coverage on the family itself, and we may need its co-operation and consent in order to investigate the matter fully.

We will initiate our enquiries immediately, and let us know as soon as possible whether we are able to take forward a complaint from the family. If not, the Commission will have to determine whether it is able to waive its third party rules (http://www.pcc.org.uk/faqs.html#faq4_7) and consider a complaint without the involvement of the family.

We will be in touch shortly.

There are 17 members of the Commission, 10 of which have no connection to the newspaper and magazine industry. The Editors of the Mail on Sunday and the Sunday Mirror are currently members of the PCC. However – given that we have received complaints about their sister newspapers – they will not take part in any discussion or consideration of the complaint by the Commission.

Good man Albert.

We have to confont the need to gawp at such things and remember a life has been lost and people are in pain.
Especially when this gawping attempts to sell papers or boost viewing figures.
Respect needs to be shown,as we saw here in Ulster when the Dunlops were killed racing bikes.
RIP Marco
