< R.I.P. Ryan Dunn, jackass >.EDIT : I'm actually kind of surprised it took this long for one of them to pull something like this. I always figured Steve-O would go first. Posted by Leisher on Jun. 22 2011,10:45
I agree that it's amazing that none of them were dead before this incident.Roger Ebert, who I personally can't stand, is taking a lot of heat for tweeting "Friends don't let jackasses drink and drive". I think those who are pissed at him are a bit misguided. One could say "too soon", but is it really? First of all, < it appears he was right > in his assumption that Dunn was drunk driving. Secondly, here's a guy who a LOT of the youth in this country watched in movies and on TV, and he dies in a senseless manner. What's wrong with trying to use his death to warn folks not to drink themselves stupid and then get behind the wheel of a car? Why not try to make his death meaningful by using it to educate others? If I was an MTV executive, I'd have the cast of Jackass in making PSAs against drunk driving once they got through the initial stages of grief. Posted by Malcolm on Jun. 22 2011,16:44

If you can't tell when your state of mind is so fucked that you think taking a highway exit at 100mph plus is a good idea, there ain't no PSA that will save your ass.

< Bar not charged. >QUOTE Dunn's blood-alcohol content was 0.196, more than twice the legal limit, according to a toxicology report. Combined that with the 100+ speed they were said to be going and that's bad news. Posted by Malcolm on Jun. 23 2011,16:48
QUOTE Surveillance video shared with police supported the bar employee's observations, said Frank Herron, the general manager. If this is true, it's probably what saved them from legal hell. I'm calling: in another decade, all places that serve liquor will be required, by law, to have you give up your keys at the door and submit to a breath-a-lyzer before claiming them.

What about a disclaimer at the door which is the legal equivalent of, "You're adults with free will and we aint your parents?" Posted by Malcolm on Jun. 23 2011,16:59

The U.S. has a prerecorded, emphatic, "< Fuck you >," reply to that type of thinking, you anarchist. |
