I wonder what the odds are that I'll be seeing this in my feed way more than I saw anything about Nepal. I'm guessing high. Just like how people who were mourning Dolly Parton and Tim Curry kept asking who the third person is going to be, while literally hundreds of people got killed in the same week in Nepal.
