The Network That Brought You 'Sunset Tan' Is Counting Down America's Most Shocking Acts of Violence

In a weirdly media-critical kind of way, it doesn't take long to connect E!'s mission of 24/7 pop culture to this Friday's ill-advised countdown entitled ... God, we can barely write it: Going Postal: 15 Most Shocking Acts of Violence. After all, the news is the longest-running reality show of all, and if OJ Simpson, Phil Spector and Co. are more famous as accused murderers than they are for their respective professional triumphs, then the celebritizing of honest-to-goodness mass murderers โ€” not in CourtTV, true-crime style, but rather between episodes of E! News and The Soup โ€” seems the logical next step in the ever-entertaining canon of watching real innocent people die. Right?
