When i see that pic i just have to wonder how much of a kicking that girl could give the guy if she was trying rather than just by mistake. She looks like a brick shit house.

What's with posting pictures of people getting killed / seriously injured?

I saw that Mexican drink driving peloton crash photo (where two people were killed) doing the rounds in my TV dept last week. It really incensed me, since someone had put some smart arse comment on the bottom to make a cheap joke out of the photo. I'm almost certain that 100% of those who were sent the picture (and prob passed it on) did not know the context or the fact that people in the photo were killed.

Sometimes I think the Internet is really desensitizing people and it worries me the lack of empathy shown to some pretty horrific accidents / situations.

I mean if it's funny, post but if it's sick - well use your own judgement.

will that munter never get off the interwebs?

it was either that - or a short animated GIF of a guy in an SUV towing a caravan driving into a petrol station and the caravan hits the forecourt roof and it all collapses on the driver. I didn't post that because I agree with mouse..

yep.

well I did kind of gaze in fascination at all the moody ones but who frick started that shit? This was supposed to be amusing no? Not, "let's watch people of an adventurous spirit who are trying to do the maddest shit buy it massively.." I was going to +1 Tommy ages ago - anyone who's ever bmxed or skateboarded knows all too well the feeling of twatting it, back in the day there just wasn't youtube for our mates to post it all on. But some of these are horrific - not massively funny if you can't tag "amazingly, he walked away with just a few minor cuts and bruises" on the end of it.

still - does that make it any less of an epic fail?

Interesting. I think it started with that epic textbook drop-out fail.

Massive 'xtreme' (heehee) injuries are seen somehow as being heroic a lot of the time, rather than just fuckin stoopid. I don't count the pro-bmxer who basically lost his knees as we watched as stoopid, but someone wasn't majoring in basic physics who laid that stunt up and in reality we all laughed at the (very) similar clip of the guy on the motorbike ("you can go way faster!")

Sorry, just getting intrigued at the supposed 'darker' twist this thread took for a page - and the responses to it. In a way, those who have spent ten/twenty years fuckin themselves up on bikes/skateboards are welcome to take the piss out of that shit. I know people who attempted that crazy shit in their time and in their minds they were looking for the moment when they knew they had landed it, not trying to do something to be stone crazy. Their highs, when it happened right, were probably more intense that anything most people feel; when it went wrong we carried them to the A&E.

no one died in that accident... it's been on the interwebs for ages

An Oz call centre employee has become an overnight net celeb down under after an email exchange between him and his firm's workforce manager regarding a "sickie" escaped into the wild yesterday.
The correspondence, currently doing the rounds of Aussie inboxes, concerns a day's leave of absence claimed by Kyle Doyle on 21 August. Read on...

Niresh,
1 day leave absences do not require a medical certificate as stated in my contract, provided I have stated that I am on leave for medical reasons.
Thanks

Hi Kyle,
Usually that is the case, as per your contract. However please note that leave during these occasions is only granted for genuine medical reasons. You line manager has determined that your leave was not due to medical reasons and as such we cannot grant leave on this occasion.

Hi Niresh,
My leave was due to medical reasons, so you cannot deny leave based on a line manager's discretion, with no proof, please process leave as requested.
Thanks

Kyle Doyle

Hahaha! Silly Ozzie cunt!

Racist

I am struggling to get to grips with this mans plan.. what did he think would happen??

rofl!

I guess he wanted to walk on his hands.

I don't like the rules outlining what may or may not be funny.. If I laugh, I laugh, just the way it goes.

and i know this ain't a fail (or is it?) ....

btw, this guy + his son, are fine.
its on the interweb somewhere- the camera angle makes it look worse than it is.

My point wasn't aimed solely at you, it's a feeling that has built cumulatively as this thread has grown. This stuff isn't healthy and when viewed out of context can be very upsetting (viz Porsche girl's parents).

And as to your response: this forum is home to loads of clever humour and piss take, which is why I love it. The more 'literal' stuff sticks out like a sore thumb and just makes the poster look a bit, well, retarded. Rather than me ignoring a thread, maybe you can you just put up a link and a warning, thereby giving people the option of consuming it or not?

Kisses, liberal pussy Mouse x

Not sure if this is a repost.. but this is how karate-people FAIL in Denmark...
