Can't seem to justify a smile though.
My official response:
"Oh."
Would be something different. It's not like it would be gory or anything.
It is a man dying. I'm very glad they didn't show it. I don't even like the picture they have on the bbc news website at the moment.
And to say 'it would be something different' is just one of the most bizarre things to say.
Yeah I saw that online aswell. Really shocking.
It was the screaming that got me, actually hearing a man screaming out in pain while his head was being cut off, you could hear his vocal chords being cut as he was screaming too...really quite disturbing.
I couldn't watch it, anything to do with animals dying i find hard to watch, humans, i'm not too bothered about unless it's a bit gory.
Littlemissy, it wasn't a bizarre thing to say, as seeing someone hung is something different, you don't see it every day do you?
Plus thousands of people used to watch people be hung for crimes they had commited.
They said that it wasn't broadcast, which is different to it not being recorded. I expect that it was recorded, and will show up at some point. Recording executions is fairly common practice where they take place, so I doubt this would be an exception, especially in the light of the person being executed.

Video of the coverage that whent out on Iraq TV, havn't watched it yet though because of the enormous traffic it's getting, so not entirely sure if its NSFW.
So it is. How boring.
Why on earth would you want to see someone die?
