Seeking attention got them killed

Trey Strain · 01-22-2019, 01:46 PM

This is happening so often now that it needs its own thread.

Yeah, I saw this and thought of posting it in dumb**s thread, but climbing/hiking is a tricky thing. For all I know, an experienced, fully clothed climber might've had the same accident. Either way, it is dumb.

Another Darwin deservedly awarded. But our consolation prize was she left us some nice bikini pics.

Big Daddy Dave Skywalker · 01-22-2019, 06:12 PM

Yeah, she got that much right.

Trey Strain · 01-23-2019, 12:39 AM

Two more.

^I read the book Death in Yellowstone and there were several known deaths of people lining up for a shot and falling off a cliff (mostly at Upper and Lower Falls) well before digital photography or the term "selfie." Then you get nutty stuff like a parent actually putting their toddler on back of a buffalo for a good photo. I was only there for a quick vacation and a ranger broke off a conversation with the fam to go tell some idiot not to pet the elk.

is this one also in a bikini?

Trey Strain · 03-05-2019, 02:32 PM

Notice how the guy, who this idiot girl trusts oh so much, is putting her in danger instead of himself.

Here's an almost for this category that was saved (likely at great taxpayer expense):

Grandma gets swept out to sea on iceberg after posing for photo

Mister Ed · 03-05-2019, 03:02 PM

How long did she sit on that thing? It looks like in the initial photos it isn't even in the water. Did she sit there waiting for the tide to come in or something?

Memo to self: Don't cross a barrier at a zoo to get closer to a jaguar.

Big Daddy Dave Skywalker · 03-10-2019, 09:58 PM

I was so happy when I saw that one earlier today. Screw her, she got what she deserved.

Space Cop · 03-11-2019, 01:24 PM

The good news is they're not doing the dumb thing of putting the cat down.

Trey Strain · 04-15-2019, 10:31 AM

Sad.

Trey Strain · 04-15-2019, 01:06 PM

You know she was going to get hired as a television reporter and would make a lot of money.

This is also one more lesson that nothing good happens after midnight.

Trey Strain · 04-16-2019, 06:09 PM

Another one.

Big Daddy Dave Skywalker · 04-16-2019, 09:42 PM

I hope they got their selfies.

Yo.

I bet he was trying to get a selfie.

Big Daddy Dave Skywalker · 05-03-2019, 12:21 AM

He's lucky to be alive. Was he chasing a magic ring or something?

Trey Strain · 05-05-2019, 01:21 AM

Another one bites the dust.

Trey Strain · 05-11-2019, 05:18 PM

This whole trend is just absurd.

Trey Strain · 05-22-2019, 08:37 PM

There's just no reason for this to be happening. And I've noticed that a high percentage of the victims are women.

It's all about followers and likes.
