It is estimated that every year, over 200,000 people are affected by suicide - at least 6 to 10 for each death. Over 30,000 people die of suicide each year in this country - … one every 16 minutes. It is as if a jet plane with 85 people aboard crashed and everyone aboard perished. If that happened for 3 days in a row, there would be a national outcry of gigantic proportions.
In addition to being insensitive and offensive this cartoon may give someone the message that suicide is an appropriate response to distress - which it is not.
I think this cartoon is an inappropiate way to address the subject of the “sorry state of the economy”
Ouch!
