I like how you referred to Oregon community college shootings as erotica.

whether it was a joke or not is another issue

The title allusion makes me wonder if there's lines of text hidden in here that I might never find.

The cynical use of saccharine voice of the narrator works really well to emphasize the tendency of how the dynamic between modern news distribution-channels and casual consumption of news create this paradox where we are forced to accept the most horrific events in a shallow yet intentional engagement. And then we try to make sense of it without thinking of ourselves as saints or sadists; "pervert" is a nice compromise.
