First time I've ever seen a real dead body close-up on TV just now on CNN. Body was bloated and just floating in the water. Damn.

You *do* realize that you would have run into some dead bodies while you were out looting in your scuba gear, don't you? Or was this a part of your plan that you had overlooked?
Interesting, it looks like your original "diving for dollars in NO" thread was deleted for some reason.

I've seen quite a few of them over the years. That one was especially gross.
I'd also like to remind those who say that NOLA cops and fire dept. are pussies to think about how dealing with that x10,000 may make you just a little uneasy...

my point was that TV coverage usually has a rule not to show dead bodies from that close of a distance, especially showing the face.

I asked that thread be deleted for all the porno pictures people posted in the thread.
Oh, and I never said I was looking into looting, I was curious to how the law would handle all the valuables scattered around the city that was left there.

Wow, I think I have seen thousands close up on Norwegian TV, they show from bombings and such. When you mention it I can't remember having seen any on CNN.

Americans are too soft to be shown stuff like that. We weren't even shown our countrymen leaping to their deaths from the WTC.

That was creepy (they showed that), but the creepiest I have seen was in the morning newspaper: A Russian soldier climbing out of a tank in Chechnya, only problem he had caught fire and was completely black (had burned to death). Thought, omg, so close to escape.

Why is that thankfully, doesn't it make you more aware of the suffering and more inclined to try to prevent it?

In Vegas 2 years ago my friends and I were driving from the Four Queens early in the morning and there was a dead body on a bus stop bench. It was covered by a sheet, but rigor mortis made the arm stick out from the sheet. Later that week a couple of them (I was elsewhere) were driving from Red Rocks and saw police standing around the car of a man who'd killed himself. They said the body was still in the car.

Was riding bikes home from downtown Seattle with some friends when we came upon firetrucks and a bunch of cops closing off the street with caution tape. Then we noticed the car wrapped around a tree, seriously wrapped around it, and a blanket covering the front seat.
Went home and turned on the news. The driver was dead inside the car for a bit, they were waiting on the jaws of life. That's probably the closest I've seen.

Is there not tradition to see the body of your dead relatives, friends etc. in the US?

Made even funnier by how quickly you posted it.
Three minutes is solid!

Yeah, I tend to agree w/ you here Arnfinn. Americans are somewhat bizarre and squeamish when it comes to certain things. Overall, it is safer to show ridiculous gratuitous graphic violence than nudity. OTOH, depictions of actual violence/death that might have the effect of showing people the real results of certain things are not favored. I think this is a reflection of our values, but there is also a possibility that this helps shape our current values. There is a kind of strange psychological/cognitive aspect to it I can't quite put my finger on. I have seen cases where eyewitnesses to some bad stuff don't quite believe it until they see it on TV. It is strange.
Some people have open casket funerals, but I don't count that as seeing a dead body. Dead bodies don't really bother me, but the stuffed waxed dolls you see at funerals after the taxidermists go to work kind of creep me out.

I've seen so many, they don't bother me at all. But I still don't like open caskets just because I don't want to remember people I knew that way.
