It's just that such things get publicity now. We're so saturated with media now, if a mouse farts on a farm in rural China, the whole world knows about it five minutes later.

I still say they went way overboad with this girl. It should have been treated for what it was.. a jealous teenage girl doing a stupid, snotty mean thing.
Do you feel the same way about Virginia Tech? I'm going to agree with Tristan. Yes, kids 20 or so years ago made jokes about blowing up schools so that they didn't have to return from vacation. But, nowadays; they are carrying out these "jokes"- as you call them. This is what is causing this mania over threats made whether joking or not and how they should be treated.
