It never fails. Some major news event rattles this country, or the world, and an entertainment program coincidentally has a storyline that is just a little too close to the actual news. Case in point: this week, Fox is replacing a new episode of Bones with a repeat. The new episode was about human remains found on a college campus. Not much more is known about the plot of the episode, but it was apparently enough to make execs think of yesterday's Virginia Tech shooting rampage that left 33 people dead.

Sometimes it seems like entertainment divisions are being too sensitive to the American psyche, but I think it's better to err on the side of caution. Sadly, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Law & Order took a stab at the university shooting storyline next season as one of their "ripped from the headlines" episodes.

Of course, there wasn't much on the news apart from the tragic Virginia Tech shootings. I was curious to see how The Daily Show would handle the situation and, as it turned out, they chose to acknowledge it and then, as Jon put it, repress it and pretend everything is okay with the world. Let's make fun of the government and their poor e-mailing habits, shall we?

Yes. Let's.
