    I’ve read all the comments to date and can relate to all of them. But I wonder why the photographer chose to remain anonymous? Messages can be subtle and subliminal. There have been subliminal messages in music that caused the suicidal deaths of others. We cannot take suicide lightly and even to the extent of poking fun.

    In the USA, a noose is a symbol of lynching of the negro. I’m sure that Admin. is aware of that. The regular folks who scheme the surface only see the humour. A responsible publishing house needs to be more sensitive and responsible.

    These sort of things makes DNO seem less credible as a news resource, and more of an entertainment for the idle. Mr. andrew please review your editors and persons managing your sight. I know of many individuals who now regard DNO as “majjii” as we locally put it. For a media resource that started in such high standing, the website is more known for humour rather than credibility. Down to the photo of the day, which in this case, was copied off the internet, has no credibilty, is NOT of dominican photogropher or taken in Dominica. I am truly dissapointed in how this site is turning out and hope that the Admin and Mr. Andrew review the entire outline of the site. Also, the new layout makes finding news article an unecessary bother. Don’t take my word for it, proove it by doing a servey and see how many of you readers favor this new look.

    THis may not get posted but myintention is to make you guys aware of the opinion of some who value quality. Hope this helps

    Isn’t the photo of the day suppose to be something of significance? This is so nonsensical. There is so much around to showcase instead of nonsense such as this. Wat can one learn or appreciate from this picture? Get real people…we are moving forward not back….Admin, do your job. I am sure there are much more worthy pictures to publish….

    DNO I find this photo in very poor taste. When I first saw the photo I was a bit disgusted but the heading really is disturbing.

    Exactly who are you sending that message to. THE YOUTH. The Depressed person seeking a way out? WHO??? Your readership must mean nothing to you that you can make light of suicide and therefore encourage the act.

    Shame on you DNO for this one!!!! Responsible writing is the way to go.

    July 27, 2011

    This is certainly disturbing. If this person can take such time to tie a rope around a cockroach’s neck, I strongly believe that the police should take some time and look into that person’s life, cause it might be just as easy to commit any criminal act on a person with such ease.

      July 27, 2011

      But what i hearing dere nah…lol. You suggesting that police investigate that person because they tie a piece of string around a cockroach neck?…lol.

      I really don’t see a problem there..It’s only humor and it is a pity that many have a problem with that. Roaches are so nasty, what do you want the police to investigate. Lighten up Dominicans. You take little stuff too seriously when that big things go unnoticed.

      July 27, 2011

      Are you serious ???? Then your house must be a “roach motel” If there is one animal i just can’t stand to see is a cockroache. And you want to baby them. Let me tell you something “I WAS THERE”, when ever I see a cockroach anywhere in my house, I get the thickest “shoe heel” that i can find, and smash it. I keep telling my children anytime you see one, call me, cause whenever it escapes, it will breed 100 more. DOWN WITH ROACHES !!!
