Point taken, though the landing was a bit off.
I don't think we're all corrupted, we as human beings have to walk through life enduring the stupidity of others. We laugh at those videos, because people in their stupidity go out of their way to hurt themselves which makes us laugh. There's a difference at laughing at a stupid person trying to be stupid (and succeeding) and then there's laughing at something like this. Now I'm not condemning you or anything, but yes, I do see the horrific irony in it as well.
I have an old friend that has seizures 2-3 times a day to the point over so long, he eventually became brain damaged and had to have part of his brain removed. Do I get a chuckle out of this? No, but I'm not going to say, "You bastard" to people that did. Because as most have said, they did that up until they read more into the article.
However...
