What bugs me the most is the media's expectation that "if he is contrite" (they must have used that word 39847293842 times for this story) "if he is remorseful" and "once he gets out and volunteers for some animal rights group he'll be accepted back."
That's such BS to me. If I'm running PETA or the Atlanta SPCA Vick is the last person I'd use as a spokesperson or role model. It wouldn't have mattered if he had blubbered through the news conference with a sad hound dog face, he still knowingly did something against the very creatures these organizations are trying to protect.
I guess it says something about the US culture (and perhaps our own culture) where the media expects the general public to have a short memory and to eventually embrace him back as a fallen hero.
