A couple months ago there was a scene on the TV show "The Office" where the boss, Michael Scott, acted like he'd hung himself in front of a bunch of little kids. Most people probably thought it was hilarious - the same clueless stuff that character is always doing. But a lot of people were offended, and even claimed this type of portrayal of suicide can lead to copycats. What do you think? Could the way suicide is treated in a movie or TV show affect people who might be thinking about taking their own life?
