This morning's New York Post finally crossed the line, sharing an agonizing moment at the end of a woman's life with the whole world. We're in utter sympathy with her loved ones, who not only have to see her in this condition, but know that everyone else has seen it, too.

We speak, of course, of Cindy Adam's column, the first paragraph of which reads:

DIANE Sawyer, they're saying she's the next Larry King. You love Larry King, I love Larry King, CNN loves Larry King, all God's chillun love Larry King. He should live and be well. He should live like Moses until 120. And a blessing on his head: Mazel tov! Mazel tov! Diane's "GMA" contract comes due January. Her other ABC duties remain tied up, without a window, for a while. So let's just say "they're" saying that the next down-the-line Larry King should could would be Diane. Is what "they're" saying.

Have they no sense of shame over there? Oh, yeah, there's also that cover, which we'll discuss after the jump.

This image was lost some time after publication.

Anyway, if you saw the paper this morning, you will have seen the cover, which shows the "Chilling instant before beau kills ex in Qns. Bar." Taken directly from surveillance videotape, the paper's cover shows victim Carolina Perez as ex-boyfriend Louis Vallejo points a gun at her. Perhaps even more offensive than the image is the prose, which reads like the novelization of a snuff film, which, in a sense, it is. After the murder porn, you get to the Post's real specialty, which is the objectification of women to whom bad things have happened. The "radiant" Perez "had a lot of charm." She was "beautiful" and "attended church every Sunday with her mother."

We don't know how they train their cub reporters over at the Post, but we're pretty sure this piece is going into the manual.

Also, how long do you think it'll take before they get the video up on the website? Our money's on end of day.
