Possibly the most tragic irony I've seen in a while
At least as far as advertising goes. The apartments where 30 were killed in Biloxi are the St. Charles Apartments. I did a Google to figure out where they were, and came up with this ad. For the record, I'm not laughing about it. This is where I grew up, there's nothing funny about all of this to me.

1. When John Lennon was shot, a local radio station was doing its Top 20
And immediately after they broadcast the news, they went back to the countdown:

AC/DC: Shoot to Thrill
Pat Benatar: Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Queen: Another One Bites the Dust

All in a row.

2. What can you say?
Tragic irony is it...a view to die for...They didn't know what was coming...and probably hadn't considered the possible consequences of that wording...

That's got to be tough for you, my dear jobycom....my condolonces...
