    Mod parent up. Loss of a human life is not funny unless it's fake.

    Imagine if one of the actors from a Jackass TV show died in one of their stunts. Sad, tradgic, et al -- and, again, funny.

    Wow, and here I thought finding Jackass funny to begin with was the embodiment of all that's wrong with society. You've taken it to a whole new level here.

    Really wish I hadn't let my mod points expire last night - I'd be giving out a whole bunch of negatives in this thread so far.

    Have a little respect, people. A guy died. He has a family, he presumably has friends. He doesn't deserved to be laughed at, and they don't deserve it either.

    I used to think most people could actually separate real life from fantasy. But some of you obviously are mistaking a man for his TV persona and a real death for some sort of carnival act.
