I don't understand this specific concept of 'insensitive'. Insensitive would be showing up to the victims funerals with a watergun full of piss. Airing a show that happens to feature a loose gunman is not insensitive. It's coincidence.

I can't even wrap my head around it. I mean ... how could it offend someone? It's make believe?

ITV know what they are doing, and they are smart for doing it. They know it wont offend either, but some schmucks with nothing better to do would be dying to give ofcom a call, causing trouble for both the show and the network.

Well said, especially about action movies

Plus the families of those dead wont give a **** about Coronation Street, I doubt they'd all be sat around, watching it, it's being pulled because some media twats would complain and bombard ITV with abuse
