&gt; As grim as watching decapitation might be, I expect the ratings would be huge.<p>I don&#x27;t recommend watching it.  Someone I know posted an ISIS (or similar) video on Facebook, which popped up into my feed while I was doing something on the other monitor, and it auto-played.  By the time I realized that it wasn&#x27;t fake (it wasn&#x27;t a clean, axe-lop decapitation, but rather done via sawing away with what appeared to be a camp knife) and it literally froze me, then left me quite out of myself.<p>I consider myself fairly stoic, and entirely un-squeamish, but that bothered me in a way that I didn&#x27;t realize anything could.  For your own sanity, I recommend avoiding it where possible.
