Suicide is the new paedophilia... 
Good sketch, nay great, Rood. But echo Mannikin Bird. If a woman is on a ledge with cops loudhailing her below, she's hardly going to indulging in chat with people in windows, or is she?. I've never been a witness at one of these events though... although I suspect I may have initiated a few.

These days I believe crowds gather to urge the jumper to leap, so that they can film it on thier mobiles and put it on YouTube. 
It could make a very interesting You've Been Framed special....
Isn't there an episode of Cheers where Frasier Crane ends up out on a ledge threatening to kill himself? And I seem to remember the last ever episode of Father Ted started with a priest threatening to throw himself off a ledge.

As far as I remember Fraiser only goes out there to talk down his agent, who it turns out is only pretending to kill herself as a publicity stunt to showcase Frasier's prowess as a psychotherapist. And if I'm wrong I'm using that scene in my own sitcom.

Bloody Norah. I think it's time for my trip to a Switzerland clinic; this world is rapidly becoming unrecognisable.

If it's not the storyline, that's a decent idea. Colour me surprised, Bussell!
This story was so sad.
I'm sure people are becoming increasingly detatched.

We live in a cold and brutal world where people have lost the ability to empathise with their fellow man.
