A woman walking down the street trips, and falls. She twists her ankle, but can manage to walk on her own without much pain. Yet when a near by police man asks what happened, the man walking behind the woman exclaims, "Dear God I saw it all! She was walking along, and suddenly goes falling to the pavement, I swear I heard a bone break. This city really should be more careful, I mean, she could have fallen and broken her neck!" That's an example of sensationalism.

Listening to almost any news story reported on television is full of sensationalism-in words, tone, attitude, etc.

anything that's in-your-face.

Like good stand-up comedy.
Reality TV where they eat bugs.. or w/e
Showboating, hyperbole, firebrand preaching

The intent is to boil your blood.
to challenge the common practices
with the most contrarian,
the most extreme divergence from the everyday.
