Washington Times
Today, I came across the Washington Times online website. The home page was headlined, 'Special Report on the Paris Terror Attack'.
What I then found weird was the inclusion of the following two articles:
The first was, 'Bang for your Buck - Best Hand Guns under 500 dollars'.
The second one was headed, 'Top 10 Hand Guns in the U.S.'
Don't you think to include such articles at a time like this is rather insensitive?
What would readers of any UK journal think if they saw similar articles in their newspaper, at any time of the year?

// We would never see similar adverts over here, as we have a much more common sense attitude to guns. //
It is not about common sense, it is about Automated Systems. There was an article in the Metro about jailed TV weatherman Fred Talbot teaching Ian Brown of the Dtone Roses, how to masturbate. The accompanying Google advert was for a Stone Roses single, 'The hardest thing in the world' :-)
