This morning's Fox News featured a pic of a car hitting cyclists in a bike race in Mexico. According to the news reader, it was "-horrifying, horrifying, horrifying, horrifying." Four. I counted them. Now that we've bankrupted all the extreme adjectives and adverbs in English on a daily or even hourly basis, the only thing to do is repeat them for emphasis.
As to why this is so much more horrifying than other people smashed to jelly by motor vehicles, I imagine it's the usual- "-we got good video."
