The Culture of Stupid

Topless mother is killed when she smashes her head into a lamp post while hanging out of a car window during holiday in Dominican Republic.

Natalia Borodina, 35, from Moscow, had taken her bikini off and was playing up to the camera, hauling her top half out of the car window while a friend was driving.
The shocking video sees the mother-of-one letting her upper body hang out of the window of the moving car, before she hits a lamp post.

Terrible way to die, but for FFS?

Student, 23, falls 200ft to her death when she slips off crumbling Seven Sisters cliff after leaping into the air to pose for a photo - but sightseers are STILL risking their lives by standing on edge

A student plunged 200ft to her death after jumping in the air for a photograph on a crumbling clifftop, an inquest was told.

Hyewon Kim, 23, had asked a stranger to take her picture but lost her footing as she landed and toppled over the Seven Sisters cliffs in East Sussex.
The South Korean, who had come to Britain to improve her English, suffered catastrophic head injuries in the fall.

Photographs found on her mobile phone showed the student happily posing with her back to the cliff-edge in the seconds before her death.

People are demanding that the national trust put fencing the whole length of the Seven Sister's cliffs. How dumb do you have to be to think that a 200 foot sheer drop isn't dangerous?

Multiply a couple of thousand feet of safety fencing by the number of National Parks and reserves in Britain;  and then extend that exercise further to fencing off all those sea cliffs along the coast, and any abandoned quarries and erosion gullies;  and let's not forget those equally dangerous streams, canals and rivers...

And how many thousands of miles of unsightly and unnecessary barriers (and ££billions££ of taxpayers' money..) would be needed, basically to protect a few idiots against their own stupidity  ?

There's something so horribly 'me me me' about what she did you just think what do you expect? It's horrendous but at the same time, half expected.

I googled these stories once - people that died just after taking a selfie. You wouldn't believe how many stupid people there are.

You should YouTube it.   There's one guy arsing around on a high rise platform so high it's shrouded in fog and he slips and goes and you just shout...NO!  I had to watch it twice to make sure it was real.
