In the mental health field, when we have someone who gets emotionally upset just looking at a picture of an object, we usually call that irrational, a phobia, something that's just not "normal."
Apparently some poor soul in the Hartford, Connecticut area had this problem while reading the sports section:
"Then I was smacked in the gut by the advertisement on the back page of the section in my hand."
What could possibly smack this person so hard? Why *gasp* a gun ad. Yes folks, an after Thanksgiving ad from a gun dealer bothered this poor soul so much, they even thought of ending their subscription.
