I come to Hacker News to get away from depressing news like this. Can we, as a community, please stop upvoting content that isn't intellectually stimulating?

I come to Hacker News to get away from depressing news like this. Can we, as a community, please stop upvoting content that isn't intellectually stimulating? It's already really difficult for me to believe any one of the many front page submissions about MH370 could "gratify one's intellectual curiosity". However, I just ignore them and assume some us must really love aviation. This article is just too far though. I can think of no possible way anybody could find this intellectually interesting.
