trendspotting : throat-slashing!

you might recall joel's little internet rule of three, wherein he sees something on the internet three times, and assigns some kind of arbitrary and excessive significance to it. well, he's not the only one with an eye out for today's hottest trends. i'm here to tell you about a little observation i've made, involving the latest fashion in rage: throat-slashing.

allow me to illustrate:

first, this white guy slashed his cab driver's throat just because he said he was a muslim! theeeeeenn, this guy slashed his college's dean's throat, just because he was possessed by satan! and last night, a diplomat was found on the floor of his apartment in the bronx, dead from a throat-slashing, just for being a nicaraguan!

point is, if you have any hope of earning the approval of your peers this fall, head on out and pick up the season's must-have accessories: a sharp knife and a short fuse.
