Time to Ban the Internet

Forget gun control.   Without eBay, this never would have happened.

Ok, smartassedness aside, why is this newsworthy?

Who cares where the Virginia Tech killer bought empty ammo clips?  Would there be a different angle to the story if they came from WalMart? This is the type of irresponsible story that does nothing to inform anyone. 

Honestly, this type of 'internet = evil' meme is entirely too prevalent in the media.  There is no other reason to research or even write an article like the one shown here other than to make people think that somehow the killer's eBay habits are of some special signifigance. 

Let's let VT move on and stop with the sensationalist bullshit, mmmkay?
