Every time the subject of a school shooting comes up within the subject of funny aneurysm moment, whoever is writing uses some variant on in the wake of Columbine. The Columbine incident was not the first school shooting. It is simply the one that got enough media coverage to penetrate the nation's conscience.

But isn't the point of funny aneurysm moment that the event in question becomes harsher because of a change in themainstream perspective on something? School shootings may have always been around, but they were taken more seriously as a subject after Columbine due to that media coverage.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
I've read the following bit seven or eight times (not an exaggeration!), and I can't make head or tail of it. I'm sure it makes sense to people that are already familiar with the events it's talking about. Could someone please translate for the rest of us?
'"While the video was released in about 6 months after Jenny survived a home invasion, one of the songs recorded Ace of Base debut album was titled "Living in Danger", which was done in 1993. The video had a woman in fear that she was about stalked by a man (a former fighter pilot seeking redemption,) and Jenny was watching the woman in question. It was a woman who attacked Jenny in real life, who targeted Malin. Malin wasn't there at the scene but it did have an effect on her mental health. "''

Yeah, I think English is that person's second language.

For a new image, how about a still from Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" video, maybe with a caption saying, "Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad, I'm hot...for...Oooh...

What's up with this entry?
- Music videos have a habit of falling into this trap, namely:
- Soul Central. feat. Kathy Brown - "Strings of Life" (youtube video)
- Narcotic Thrust - I Like It - due to something involving one of the dancers in the video.
- Girls Aloud - Love Machine, after Cheryl Cole's widely-publicised divorce.
- Chanel - My Life - again, for the same reason as Narcotic Thrust. This is due to an off-screen incident involving one of the dancers in the video.
- Laura White - "You Should Have Known" - a huge "Funny Aneurysm" Moment.
Except for the bit about Cheryl Cole's divorce, all the items are ludicrously vague.
I'm wondering if we couldn't throw some of Nine Inch Nail's Year Zero album on here. Or maybe the related ARG on the 'other' page. (I mean, they're as bad as each other for hitting way too close to home, but the songs hit much too close - especially God Given and Survivalism.)
"The Blues Brothers opening to A Briefcase Full of Blues starts with a little dialogue stating that how (in 1978, when it was released) you hardly ever hear the blues, and by the year 2006, the music known as the blues will exist only in the classical records section of your public library. This was not made funnier by Hurricane Katrina."
The reason for why this is on this list is really poorly phrased. Cause for someone who doesn't immediately follows the logic of Katrina - Katrina hit New Orleans - New Orleans had a lot of blues - There will be no more blues in 2006 probably won't understand why the last sentence is there.
You might as well put "The Black Eyed Peas song My Humps from 2005 starts with a phrase by will.i.am What you gon do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk? This was not made funnier by Hurricane Katrina." It would make about as much sense unexplained.
