It's like saying, OH MY GOD, DID YOU KNOW THAT MCDONALD'S HAMBURGERS ARE BAD FOR YOU? Well...sure. All hamburgers are bad for you. What's your point?

Of course there are hundreds that aren't. My issue with how Tyrion's rampage was delivered on the show was that it was much more justified than in the books. I'm not trying to determine if Tyrion is a better person than someone else, I enjoyed the darkness that was shown through him committing heinous acts while in emotional shock. It made his character more interesting when the likable guy who actually had empathy for the smallfolk suddenly strangled his lover while she was pleading for her life and claiming she was forced to testify against him.
Shae's death in the show wasn't even a murder, it was self defense, and the complexity of Tyrion's character suffers for it.
