Japanese Man Broadcasts His Suicide On The Internet
The ragetastic part of this story? People were encouraging him to go through with it.
The broadcast received a variety of exchanges -- some users reportedly believed they were watching a hoax and suggested he do it quickly, while others attempted to talk him out of going through with his plans.
(Emphasis mine.)
Seriously, can we please all move beyond encouraging death for those who present as being suicidal? Yes, there are "fake" Internet attempts and Internet deaths, but Jesus God Vishnu Allah Buddha Toaster Bucket of Fish DON'T ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO GO THROUGH WITH THIS I DON'T CARE HOW FAKE YOU THINK IT IS. DAMMIT.
