People have been gripped this past week by the sad story of Trayvon Martin, the young Floridian killed by overzealous neighbourhood watchman George Michael Zimmerman, with many prominent folk in the Twitterverse voicing disgust at the initial lack of criminal charges against Zimmerman, and mocking Geraldo Rivera’s attempted defense of the killing.

In case you missed it, Geraldo said hoodies make people think of robbers, so young people shouldn’t wear them. But moustaches make me think of child molesters, so should Geraldo shave?

And should Geraldo be placed on a sex offender registry if he doesn’t? Surely he should.

On the other side, Spike Lee retweeted what was alleged to be Zimmerman’s home address over Twitter, but it was the wrong address. A couple in their seventies by the name of the Mclains live there. They are now being inundated with way too many Die Hard jokes.  

On the Geraldo front, it should be mentioned that he has apologized. Which is good, except that it was a sarcastic apology. I’m more interested in his moustache apologizing to children.
