The Daily Mirror wrote:"However, there is now sufficient evidence to suggest that these pictures are fakes and that the Daily Mirror has been the subject of a calculated and malicious hoax."
The newspaper said it would be "inappropriate" for Piers Morgan to continue as editor, and he had stepped down with immediate effect.
This is the sort of behavior that is expected when people fuck up.

American soceity has been moving further and further away from the concept of personal accountibility and into the culture of victimization for 3 decades now. Don't expect anything along these lines to happen at any level here.

What masteen said. It's not just America, either. It's the whole western world, and maybe even beyond.

Hey, I love Canada and all, but we're getting pretty lawsuit happy here too. It's just taking a little longer, and it costs a little more. Kinda like everything else we get from the states.
