Credit to my friends for pointing this one out.
We lost one of the premiere Indy-car drivers today in a horrific crash. It was a NASCAR-level "Big One" at Las Vegas International Raceway, only 11 laps into the final race of the season.
The ABC announcers were noting, as Dan Wheldon's on-board camera was being shown, as to how dangerous the combination of the speed and the "dirty air" could be.
At that moment, even though Wheldon was actually clear of most of the traffic and was by himself, "The Big One" hits and fifteen cars go flying -- at least a third of them appear to burst into flames, and, being an Indy Car, you really can't do anything but try to avoid it.
He didn't. He burned up and went into the catch fence.
The race was halted, and the remaining few cars went out for a memorial parade when it was known he was dead.
In no uncertain terms: We are lucky we didn't lose five or six drivers in that kind of a wreck.
So why am I ranting about some bonerbitingdickfartfuckface on the Internet?
For this:
"RIP
Owned."
That was an actual comment (my friends are trying to help get it removed from SI.com) on Sports Illustrated's story of the tragic event.
For there to be a waste of fecal matter on the Internet so fucking arrogant and stupid and insensitive to believe that this (or any such) would be the time to say that a driver got fatally swallowed up in an accident and "owned" is one of the most moronic things I've ever heard of on the Internet, and I've been on the Internet long enough to have seen an absolute shit-load of such idiocy.
That takes some doing, douche.
It's no wonder that we have systems set in place where things like the BCS are so rigged, it's not even funny -- and let's not get into the National Religion for this post... -- when we have to hear you fart all over your computer and literally laugh at someone's death.
Life has no value to these people? (Not unless their sports teams are Winning!!)
Congratulations, dickweed. May someone nominate you for a Darwin Award good and quickly.
I know that this is three years later, but I am glad that you mentioned Darwin at the end. Evolution is at the heart of a lot of this (a theory that is shaky, to be kind). If you tell people that they are no better than apes, this is how they behave. They put a game above all else, and they worship the almighty dollar.
