What file footage shown on TV troubles you? A few of mine...

The Zapruder film of President Kennedy's assassination. It's still tough to watch all these years later.

Whenever they show the 'not guilty' verdict being read in the OJ Simpson trial, when OJ smiles, I have to look away.

Of course, the planes....and the Twin Towers. I didn't even like typing that one. My heart falls every time I see it.

The infamous play in the 1986 World Series....Red Sox vs Mets....the ball went through Billy Buckner's legs. Ouch! Kills me.

This one commercial they had on last year for toenail fungus...What was that name, anyway? Lamisil? That ad was sooooooo disgusting and gave me the creeps, as did a lot of other people.

For the Twin Towers, I agree. I can't stand to look at them...I had nightmares about them when the 2nd anniversary rolleda round.

EWWWWWWWWWW!

When that fungus guy lifted up the toenail....Ummm. Ewww.

That is by far one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen on TV.

The suicide of Budd Dwyer.

Buckner was a first baseman for the Red Sox. During the 6th World Series game, a groundball was hit to him, and he missed it, and it went through his legs instead, costing the Red Sox the win.

The incident traumatized Sox fans. ESPN made a documentary about it.

The collapse of the twin towers.

The footage of Saddam Hussein after his capture when the doctor is sticking the tongue depresser in his mouth.

The surveillence tape of Princess Diana when she is leaving the hotel with her boyfriend just moments before they are killed.

Oh, definitely the 9/11 planes. I makes me sick that they're were actually people in those planes and once they show it hit I cringe. It was defininitely not a movie.

Oh, Colonel Juke N Jive, I like your avatar pic of, in the words of Ralph Wiggum "Super Nintendo Chalmers".

I'm 110% with Janice on this one. I cannot watch that. Especially since my dad sits there and laughs away.

For me, the Twin Towers is probably the worst thing. I hate watching that. Close in second is footage of JFK and Princess Diana. Both are such tragedies.

Another thing I absolutely hate watching is documentaries on the Titanic. I watch a lot of them because I'm very interested in it, but I shiver when they show the ship underwater.

This was always a tough photo to look at....

That Vietnam picture is so sad.

I can't really stand to watch those documentaries on tv when doctors are doing surgery, especially when they're doing lyposuction and the stick the tube in the body and move it all around.

I can't watch surgeries either, and liposuction, forget about it.

There's another famous Vietnam photo where a Vietnamese man is on his knees, about to be shot in the temple. I can't post that one.
