Las Vegas, never lets a tragedy go to waste

The real question is. What the Eff are you doing watching Star Trek still. Or TV at all for that matter? Should you not be tending to your kids?

Strange post.

Look at the time I posted this, my kids had been in bed for hours. I CAN occasionally do something for myself, even if it's watching a strange version of Trek and drinking entirely too much.

maybe this :

" message comes from the tourism department "

because they have a staff of proffesionals - that have all the skills , equipment and rescources to put out a message about the city

You seem very triggered by an advert that's pretty clearly designed to highlight the stories of good that came out of a tragic event.

What world will they live in when I am gone?

Hopefully one that doesn't involve ignoring positive stories in the face of horrible stories.

if they had gone with the std " las vegas hype and fanfare " - some other idiot would be whining

The damned if you do , damned if you don't part is a key thing of being a CT.

Police have facts so release information in a quick manner = false flag they are doing it too quick..

Police take a long time to gather facts before releasing them = They are hiding info!!

You are sort of dodging my point.

You are a grown adult watching a stupid tv show. Maybe turn it off and stop wondering about the tubes message or propaganda?

Not dodging anything, your opinion is that it is a stupid show. I've seen better and I've seen worse. Sorry my choices for how I spend my free time don't meet with your approval. Ask me if it will influence my choices...

I wouldn't say "triggered", mostly because I hate that term. I really just think they got that ad out way too fast. That is my real issue, as I said earlier. Just think about it for a minute, even if they produced that in an afternoon, that's awful quick to have that in rotation. Just cheapens the sacrifice those men and women made in my eyes.

I feel like if they just removed the Las Vegas tourism logo and ended it with just the vegastrong hashtag, I wouldn't really have an issue with it.

I don't know why, but platitudes like "_____ Strong" really bug me. Most likely I am just grumpy and too individualistic, but it is just so fake and "feel good". I think it is the product of Facebook culture more than anything.
