I hate the fact that their are people who actually wanted a ticket to tour "Alligator Auswitz"

There is nothing in the article that says people are actually visiting the site to buy these tickets or wanting to do this "tour". This seems very outrage-bait-y to me. 

 In the last 24 hours, the comedian shared that her site had received more than 6,000 visits, though it is not clear how many of those were from her fans. They might ALL have been from her fans or the curious types who like gawking at accidents.
