    I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not

    but I'm just thinking about the Chris Benoit and Heath Ledger threads

    People are more likely to see celebrities as fair game than to see the family of said celebrity as fair game. If this thread was "John Travolta hits head on bathtub, dies" it would look very different. That and the fact that the "olol I am so tasteless" humour is beyond old at this point and only really slow people are still doing it.

    OK, one of them died because he was a mental, the other because he was an idiot, it's easy to laugh at them. This kid just randomly fell, there's no humour in that, only horrible horrible reality.

    How the fuck did a 16 year old kid hit his head on the bathtub?

    I hit mine on the toilet once, but that was because that water was HOT, man!

    It could happen to any of us any day really. It's just bad luck, you slip on a tile or whatever.

    that's a funny thought

    life's too short for jokes cynic

    take your clothes off and have a bath, i'll hold on so you don't die

    Oh you'd like that, wouldn't you? :3

    Heh, my old alt was "Heath Ledger" the day after the OD. The mods did NOT smile upon that.

    If John Travolta diesd suddenly, people would be cracking jokes all over the place on account of he is kind of a nutty Scientologist.


    That's my prediction, anyway.

    And really so far I've only seen two.

    If I recall correctly there had been a thing about his Son having some issues and the Travolta family refusing to acknowledge it. I think it was on some Gossip Column or what not, but it had something to do with the seizures and how the family didn't get help for it.

    It was awhile ago, but that's the first thing I thought of.

    It's a thing that happens.

    A guy I know fell and hit his head in the shower, and probably would have died if some one else hadn't been there to rush him to the hospital. He lost a lot of blood.

    So I've been doing a lot of walking lately because England has a pretty decent public transportation system


    The only downer so far has been the number of stabbings and dead teenager stories advertised at the newstand little kiosk deallies.

    Seriously, every single one I have seen so far is about somebody getting stabbed or dying from getting stabbed, it's depressing as hell.

    I'm all for mocking scientology, but lets not jump to any conclusions just yet. They lost their kid. No need to blame them without some sort of evidence other than having kooky religious beliefs.

    I'm just saying, refusing to acknowledge something as potentially dangerous as something seizure-inducing is pretty fucked up, and Scientologists have certain beliefs about mental issues.
    I didn't mean it Scientologists please don't hurt me.

    Edit: of course, this is all based on conclusions drawn from the memories of a guy on the internet about a thing he read once.
