Goodbye, you jackass (Or: "DARWIN AT WORK")

[digitaldiscipline]

That fucker from Jackass was a DUI. He died and killed another person. He is no hero, he wasn't even a great actor. He wasn't even a fucking comedian if you ask me.

When I got my DUI? It felt like half the world was bitching me out. (And I have never once denied that I earned every damned word. I have also pointed out that no one bitched me out harder than me. I am also apparently one of five people that I've met personally that got a DUI that was guilty of it. Everyone else was profiled or in the wrong place at the wrong time. Not me. I did it. I fucked up.) I think one person may have said they were glad that I was alive. This asshole kills himself and another person and it's a fucking *tragedy*? WTF?!?!?!?!

Just... no.

I was lucky. All I wound up with was a ton of fines and a few hours in a cell and my insurance rates going through the fucking roof. I walked away. I learned my damned lesson.

This jerk kills himself and someone else and it's a tragedy?

No, the tragedy is that some poor person was just catching a ride from a friend and that friend killed them. Oh, did I mention he was fucking rich and could have easily afforded a cab? That fuck had less of an excuse than I did.

So, sorry folks, I disagree with all of your RIPs for this man. Sounds like he did the world a damned favor.



Yeah. I'm a hater. Know what? When I comes to DUI stupidity? I earned that right the hard way.

I feel for the family of the person that he killed. I feel for his family. Him? He paid for his stupidity the hard way.


I will now sit back and wait to be bitched at for that opinion.

Oh wait! If I'm gonna be yelled at anyway? Jackass and all of its various spin off were not fucking funny at all. They were all America's Funniest Home Videos (also not funny) with a higher budget.

There. I said it.

Let 'em rip.

Agreed on all counts, actually. No bitching from this direction.

[marchenland.livejournal.com]

Yep, same here.

Ditto yet again. It's bad enough that show and the movies encouraged people to do stupid things. One would have had some hope that it was just confined to the screen. Nope, dumbass had to go fuck up yet another life. At least he's removed from the gene pool

I have no particular love for the jackass "actors" and gotta say I agree here :) I've seen the 'other side' complaining about loosing him, and I just don't get it

[mschaos.livejournal.com]

no bitching about him here - I had no opinion about it as Jackass seemed to be all about pain and I am not into that

(tho I have to say AFV does make me giggle on occasion - but usually it is due to funny kitty shenanigans and not the fact that some idiot landed on their balls)

That. AFV was for the kitty videos that I want to watch on youtube before the internets gave me youtube.

Otherwise, agreed. Jackass never looked like it was at all interesting and one of its creators dying while driving drunk doesn't strike me as a great loss to American Art. It's much more like some guy up the road died while driving drunk: Maybe a shame, but his own stupid fault.

hope he has a nice hottub in hell :)

i have a special hate for DUI types. driving impaired is one of the great ways to murder people, and effectively get away with it. vehicular homicide in general is regarded as a right. feh.

why can't more people who are basically suicides, just quietly die at home of self-inflicted methods like cheeseburgers and cocaine?

I'm behind as usual so this is the first I'm hearing of it but I couldn't possibly agree with you more. Having some first hand experience with drunk douchebags I applaud Darwin.

hey, while i'm not happy the guy died or anything, you won't be seeing an rip from me either.

fyi, i always thought all of those Jackass guys were about 2 paychecks away from gay porn, but that's neither here nor there ;p

I don't even know who you're referencing. *shrug*

I think I saw a Jackass movie once, but I don't know who's who.

[mighty-man.livejournal.com]

As your best friend and one of the last people to see you before your DUI, I'm very happy you're alive.

I thought at the time you were crazy for having done it. But frankly, I would have been more upset if you hadn't made it.

I haven't read any articles on what the other guy did, so I reserve the right to make comment on that later, but like I said before: I'm very happy you're alive.

I'm glad that you learned the lesson from your first conviction. And you didn't hurt anyone else in the learning.

[farchivist.livejournal.com]

Da.

1. I never found Jackass funny.

2. I once drove in such a condition that I never should've been near a car. After that I scared myself into not doing it again, but everybody I know who drinks alcohol has, at some point, driven drunk. Some get caught. I'm sorry you got bagged but at least you aren't doing it again and again.

3. I have very little sympathy for individuals who cause their own demise, and even less for those who take an innocent with them.

Say, nice post. ;-)

I have been half-tempted to post it to the facebook. I was surprised that I received nothing but kudos for this post.

I stand by it.

[missmorte.livejournal.com]

I've seen reports that he was drunk and those that said he quit drinking long before he drove so I'll put off my opinion until the toxicology reports come back in.

[rhubarbbuddha.livejournal.com]

His BAC is now being reported as .196.

[zymergist.livejournal.com]

Wholehearted agreement!

I am glad you are alive, though I did not know you at that time.
