Comments on "This is YouTube Material"

I thought weed smokers were peaceful people and only idiots who use alcohol did stupid things. I guess I was wrong, y'all.

I don't know what's worse. The act performed, or the fact that I laughed at it.

Okay, that's it; shut down Youtube.

Maybe we should hook this guy up with the old lady who shot the puppy last week. See who gets rubbed out first.

Well ...

Where's the video!?!?

I'm willing to bet he was an asshole before he smoked the pot or drank the alcohol.

And yeah, send him over to pee on that evil bitch who shot the puppy. I saw her on the news last night and she was in her front yard yelling to the cameras, "what? you act like it was murder or something."

mr. poe @ two: the former. but then, you almost certainly knew that, you were just saying it for comic effect, right?

Gee, I'm not sure. For all we know, she was into piss and in the end it turns out he did her a favor before she died. What do you think?

@ 8, i think it's highly unlikely.

Really?! You suuuure?!

O. M. F. G.

From the full article:

"Although his actions did not contribute to her death it was appalling behaviour that robbed her of any dignity in the last hours of her life"

Um... what about his *inactions*? How about his appalling disinterest in getting her prompt medical attention? How about *that* as a contributing factor?

that is cruel and not funny.

you can only laugh at that if you cannot relate to the person who is the victim at all. if it were a gay man, would it be funny? if it were a family member of yours? i'll laugh at someone's idiocy, providing they do not inflict the harm onto someone else.

"if it were a gay man, would it be funny?"

Nope. Then I'd be pissed. But if it was Ann Coulter, you'd laugh.

Um, if that were the case infrequent, nobody would ever laugh at someone slipping on a banana peel, or falling down an open sewer drain, or getting konked on the head with a board. In fact, comedy as we know it wouldn't exist.

Them Brits dont just drink like normal drunks, this dude was probably pissed after drinking 60 pints of warm lager and probably mad after his football team lost to Chelsea or West Ham.

Them civilized Europeans yall brag so much about.

This is Dostoyevsky material. Proof that god does not exist, yet...

I'm convinced that the English make the second ugliest drunks. First place goes to the Scots, of course.

The devolution will be televised

There is a great difference between slipping on a bannana peel (slapstick) and pissing on a dying woman (assault). Laughing at the former is excusable and may even be a conditioned response since we are exposed to it as a comedic trope from infancy, but degrading a dying woman, or even a dying animal is reprehensible. What next? Shall we laugh at vids of bums being immolated?

I'd be pissed if my team lost to West Ham...but not peeing-on-dying-people pissed.

@ 20
pissed to the limeys means drunk as a motherfucking skunk. thats what i meant by "pissed."

@ 17

i would argue that the ulster scots ( northern irish) are the wildest, craziest drunks. you can usually see them shooting and stabbing each other when they take a ferry and go over to scotland for the annual blood fest called CELTIC vs RANGERS.

as mentioned above, i would laugh at misfortune. certainly a person slipping on a banana peel is so much different from what happened here. even when that slip happens, a first reaction is usually are they okay?.... if yes, then laughter.

an elderly person who falls ill and is in the last moments of their life in reality (not some scripted dark comedy) being mocked, pissed on, assaulted, and left to die in the street is not funny.

i would not laugh if it was ann coulter. i could only laugh if it was this gentleman, hitler, or some other completely evil-in-every-way person whom doesn't really exist save poorly written cinema.

@21-

Oh, I'm aware. I'd probably be both the American and English versions if my team lost to West Ham, but I still would not pee on a dying woman. Some people are just assholes and that shouldn't be an excuse.

I keep trying to figure out what kind of lame-brained dickhead could see someone fall down ill and have the immediate impulse to have themselves videotaped peeing on the person, rather than attempting to assist them in some way, or summon medical aid. I totally don't get that mindset. It's like seeing someone get hit by a car and running over to the victim so that your friends can videotape you playing slippy-slide in the blood, or something. Roasting marshmallows in your neighbor's housefire. Poking the bruises of an abused child.

I dunno, the guy is seriously fucked in the head if you ask me. I'm all for black comedy, sick humor, but this just plain ain't funny to me. It's borderline necrophiliac narcissism.

"Roasting marshmallows in your neighbor's housefire."

BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

At first when I heard about it, I thought he was just peeing on some stranger's leg, and she was fine, other the piss on her, so I laughed.

But if his reaction to someone dying is to do something this sick, I'd hate to see what other stuff he('s done) will do in life.
