I think a more accurate headline would have been

"Idiot kid jumps of building and dies"

Maybe with a tagline of

"More evidence that Darwin was right" or "Even the gene pool needs a little chlorine"

Maybe towards the end, "Like every other 9 year old in the world that dosnt jump of buildings he liked to play video game"

American society seems to use video games in the same way fascist regimes used minorities.

Germany during the 1930s- Our economy isn't screwed up because we got into a massive war, incurred massive debts, and caused massive inflation. It isn't because the entire world is in the biggest economic depression in history, it's because of the Jews.

America now- The kid didn't do that because kids as a rule do stupid things (thus why PARENTS exist in the first place,) he didn't do it because he was obviously a specially stupid kid, he didn't do it because no one was paying attention to him when he began to construct a parachute, he did it because of a video game.

PS. Look at the bright side; in nine more years he'd be eligible to vote.

I blame Owen Hart LOL.
shut the fuck up you god damn pathetic son of a *****.

That was an accident, a god damn tragic accident that happened because he was trying to entertain the crowd. It should have never fucking happened. EVER. Owen Hart was not stupid he just loved the buisness.

SO DON'T EVEN DARE MAKE THAT FUCKING JOKE
I will make any joke I want to.

Having experienced death through my whole life I have learned that in order to truly accept it as part of life, one should be able to see the funny side of it.

'Goddamn trajic accidents' happen everyday, it is no more trajic due to it happening to a famous person.

As for the insults, I've never stooped to insulting someone here before so I ain't gonna start now, even after that demented tirade.

Well, i have NO problem with children playing games they are too young for. I am anti-age restriction.
But come on, jumping off a 13 story building? THE KID WAS AN IDIOT!
i like wreslting, you don't see me jumping off buildings.
And y'know what?> You can't blame wreslting, and you can't blame games. you can blame the kid for his stupidity, and his parents for not having explained the diference between playing a game on your ps2 and making a parachute and jumping off a tall building like a moron.
i made a parachute out of string and a bag once, IT WAS FOR A RUBBER LIZARD, NOT ME

i have zero sympathy here, the kid had it coming.

what the fuck is funny about a man falling to his death his chest slamming into one of the ring posts and dying in front of a live crowd, and his friend and co-workers?

You don't make fun of Tragic Accidents, period. there is finding the funny side to life and then their is crossing the line. That certainly crossed the line. Accepting Owens death meant being able to watch his former matches without crying, it was the same as accepting Chris Benoit after having given his sanity (quite literally) for the buisness murdered his wife, son, and killed himself, was still one of the greatests wrestlers to date. even if every time I watch him do the flying headbutt I realize thats what caused it and it's the fans fucking fault for demanding to see it over and over.
No, my friend, you don't tell other people what they can or can't find funny.

Don't ever watch any of the Monty Python movies, Jean Pierre Jeunet's films or any Six Feet Under. I think they might offend you.

I am now also finding funny the image of someone crying while watching wrestling, does that earn me more insults and abuse?

That's so sad, but the kid's family must have did a craptacular job raising him.
Just my thought too, even if it sounds a little harsh.

well apparently he was special ed although the ny daily news didn't say how bad.

pretty tragic and a hard way for the family to learn about proper supervision even if he was only alone for 30 mins.

reminds be of the accidental spy with jackie chan --(6/11) 3:00-- , only it was a 3 storey building & he used 3 parasols.

well, if he was special ed then i suppose that makes it different. I blame:
1. parents for not haivng explained the differences bwtween fantasy and reality, or at least that killing yourself is dangerous.
2. thef act that the alarm on the roof door was broken.

Natural selection: It works!
Obviously it doesn't; you're still here.
Burgermann says "So are you. Whats your point."
To paraphrase the almighty Jules, "Empathy, ************. Do you speak it?"

Humans are social animals, and we work in groups. The ability to empathise with one another helps that... the lack of empathy hinders that. Natural selection should, if it works according to social Darwinist "theory", filter that out.

To everyone who came up with a lame "joke" about this kid's death, well, here's hoping someone shits in your loved-ones' casket when the time comes so you can feel what that sort of disrespect is like on the receiving end. (Assuming, of course, you're actually capable of forming emotional bonds with someone else.)

You obviously have never seen the movie otherwise youd know its "English, ************. Do you speak it?"

Because you're the gazelle the lions brought down. You came back to the watering hole, bleating about your wounds, and the pride closed in to finish the kill. It's a messy thing, but in the end the forum gazelle herd will be healthier in the long run. (cue "Circle of Life")

I don't have any patience with the glass cannon mentality that you can take potshots at others all day but cry to Mommy the instant someone takes shots at you. Can't take it? Don't deal it.

Think of it as evolution in action, Darwin-boi, and use a bigger parachute some empathy and respect the next time you post.

Paraphrase [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/paraphrase]. And I saw the movie in its first run on the big screen, when a "big screen" was measured in feet instead of inches.

But that's alright, isn't it? Because I find it funny, and that makes it okay by your lights.

I'm not doing anything to you that you haven't done to the parents of that kid. Consider that for a moment before replying.

Am i the only one not having seen anyone jump off a building in wrestling? Nobody has seen it, its not just me? Okay then. In that case i'd say its more probable the kid was imitating the latest spongebob episode and leave it at that.

Edit: Also, it really is a tragedy. Too bad it could have been avoided if his sister had paid some f*cking attention to her obviously not too bright little brother.

Of course it's okay, everything is fair game.
Then why so serious? Why complain when you're the butt of the lulz, survival-of-the-fittest-boy? If everything's fair game, then suck it up and quit whining about it being unfair.

I seriously think you haven't thought through the implications of "everything is fair game"; I think you don't understand the consequences well enough to truly appreciate how busted that philosophy really is. This may be the Internet, but it's real people posting on it... sometimes about real things. There are real consequences to posting... and Google (and Facebook and Twitter) makes it tougher to escape those consequences every day.

Someone real got hurt. Someone real died. This isn't a cartoon; it's not a movie, and a stunt double isn't going to get back up from the crash pad at the bottom of the movie set. There are real relatives out there mourning... and thanks to Google News they can find this thread and read it.

What you're experiencing now is the barest taste of what that kid's mother or sister would feel should either come upon what you wrote.

Think.
