For Writers Island and its current prompt – outrageous.
Preamble
There are many things that are outrageous, there have always been and most likely always will be. Without much effort, I could have come up with a sizeable list of solid reasons for outrage; there is plenty going on in the world right now that is outrageous. Instead of writing up such a potentially self-righteous and plaintive list, I decided to look at a hot contemporary Internet medium to find out about the most popular current outrages. What follows is a good sampling of the cream of the crop from Youtube (with repetitive or absolutely boring outrages removed; spelling problems and questionable capitalization left intact):

well there is more than enough outrage going on in the world isn’t there… i think i’ll just stay home and be content…..
This was a very interesting post I was very surprised to see the Agawam reference.
I recommend a month long ban on the use of the word ‘outraged’ by the media. 🙂 Very interesting take on the prompt, thanks for sharing!
It just shows you how much the word is overused. Of course, there is a lot to be outraged about but maybe we should let poor old ‘outrageous’ have a rest and substitute something else for a while. I’m all for flummoxed or flabbergasted. Or maybe even discombobulated. Excellent post!
Just goes to show how much sensationalism is used by the media. I’m with Constance up there. 😉
Good job on gathering – oh, yes, there is more than enough outrage to go around! And it doesn’t matter what we call it! Grin. It is.
