  I like how this was a Bob POV and how you tied it into that news story. You could really feel the fear. Great job.

  Yes, The Daily Mail ran a couple of stories on what they say is 'Emo' and one particular one where MCR got the blame for a girl committing suicide (on the basis of 1 line from Welcome To The Black Parade). The article said that they were 'one of the foremost of the 'suicide cults''.
  
  It's tragic that the girl hanged herself, she must have been unimaginably miserable and I can totally understand the family wanting to blame someone else. Perhaps they believe it, or maybe it was just a chance remark.
  
  Of course, the accusations are ridiculous, but I guess that's what happens when newspapers report without fully researching the topic. But they should remember that they have a responsibility to report facts not rumour.
  
  Here's the story:

  Oh my God WTF?!
  
  Ok, emo IS a fashion..and a place of mind..but not JUST emo's freaking kill themselves! Seriously..some should have sued the paper for reporting those false lies..and did they even get the lyrics right?
  
  Wow.. Poor My Chem. I actually remember reading about that, too. "Emo Initiation" pshhh as soon as you start dressing all "emo" that's like the initiation! Not that there's a cult..it just looks amazing on some people XD
  
  Sorry I'm ranting I just..had to get it out of my system and I didn't feel like ranting it out on myspace...although I might now L O L
  
  Great story again, by the way
