Man dies after accidentally drinking gasoline from salsa jar then lighting cigarette

[Gotham Knight]

Sometimes you just have to laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation. Otherwise you'll drive yourself crazy.

What act was funny though? The part where he burned himself to death? I know what you're trying to say, but the whole laughing something off thing isn't used or needed in a situation like this.

A man died and his family is going to have to grieve because of it. The people posting smileys and posting "hahahaha" aren't trying to keep themselves sane. They're teenagers that have no sense of meaning or empathy whatsoever.

Some of that may be true about these comments but you have lots of posters who come here for different reasons. It could be to start conversation or just to entertain themselves. I don't think anyone intends to insult the family. At least the family most likely won't see this thread. However there is about 200 comments on the yahoo news page they probably will notice that's full of jokes. It's a sad situation but hopefully they'll recognize it as the nature of the internet.
Whatever the case may be , you can't tell people how to react and if your looking to change that it's not going to happen. Everyone here is anonymous so they are going to say what they want.

Sometimes you have to reread a news headline to really get it all to sink in.

Guess he shouldn't have drank gasoline and lit a cig?

Gotham's friends burned in the gas station gasoline model fight of 95 that the movie Zoolander took inspiration from.

Sorry ... the headline made me laugh and the story made me laugh more.

Darwin wins.

Nope.

He's 43. There's a good chance that he bred. Darwin loses.



Also, yes, you can laugh at this. It's terrible, and his family is in mourning, but the situation is objectively funny and none of us are connected to it. It's like watching someone else get hit in the balls.

Didn't Bugs Bunny do this to Yosemite Sam once?
