No problem, AD. I've got the answer: It's a MEME!

Just as the dream language made a meme out of bad stuff happening in entertainment, so will the outside world. First we had cartoon-related shootings (no problem if you don't see cartoons as entertainment), then comes shootings at Mardi Gras. No one can argue that Mardi Gras falls under entertainment. There are tickets for some events, and this might even be the mecca of entertainment itself. Here's the news:

So, my theory is that we'll see a couple more entertainment and theater headlines. Just because we saw Mardi Gras doesn't rule out the Oscars, no way does it rule it out. In fact, I see this meme growing. As always, I could be wrong here.

The meme may result in a single dynamic event....or....an overall uptick of smaller events over a period of time.
So far, there has been an overall uptick. Yes?
