Just Weird

I find it disturbing that you would represent such nonsense. You don't even know how to develop a web site. There was no way to contact the developer of "idiot.com" so I got the next best thing. Read up on 2000, stupid people. Your award should go to yourselves, because in my opinion you are dumb!

Constructive

I find it remarkable that some readers find tragedy awful when it happens in the US, but funny when it happens in South America. People do stupid things and pay with their lives. Let's enjoy it.

If I was suicidal, this site would either raise my spirits or give me a few ideas to muse on before I strapped a JATO and to myself.

Question: Love your site, but the voting code appears to be malfunctioning. The vote I cast was reported as being cast for a different nominee.

Answer: John, your browser is not refreshing the page, but using a cached page instead Thanks much for the alert!

This cumbersome website is no fun. I spent 20 minutes trying to look at the contenders for the 1999 awards, but all I found was everything and anything EXCEPT the stories. I voted for the only two that I could find. If your newsletter is anything like this website I would get bored.

Flame Us!

rom my mail, I have gleaned various insights into why people do or don't like to read this twisted website.

Texas A&M

(November 18, 1999) Twelve students were crushed while constructing a tower of logs intended for a bonfire during a Thanksgiving-eve football rally.

You sick bastards. Please remove bonfire from your site and repent for your sins. Osborne, Class of 2000.

If I could take what you knew about the quality of a life and roll it up into a little bitty ball and shove it up a gnat's butt it would rattle around like a bb in a mason jar.

I get the humor in the Darwin Awards, but please don't step over the line. "Never let your pleasure come from someone else's pain."
Mark

Whoever is in charge of this site should shoot themselves in the heads. You insensitive pricks need to get a life. Screw you and your sick, demented, ignorant web site. Do all of us Aggies a favor and go fall off a building.
Tony, Class of 2001

As a reader who thinks the majority of your stuff is funny, I draw the line at someone making a mockery out of the loss of 12 lives. I believe the Aggie bonfire should be removed from your page immediately.
Joel

We are a proud family with years of history and blood spilled in our nation's battle in defense of your freedom of speech. Thank you for removing this story.
Walt

I would like to express my support in whatever decision you take. I think that it is a first class nomination, but if you have to pull down the story so that those hot headed aggies get off your butt, so be it. Too bad that they are so intent in proving that there is some truth in Aggies jokes. José
 

Destructive

You SUCK! How dare you bring the death of a 10-year-old boy into your humoristic sick world. I would have been a fan forever. You are not even capable of understanding how this has affected me. Hell waits for you.
Holly Reindl

It is reprehensible to make light of the tragedy of a person losing their life. I am appalled and deeply offended. You should be ashamed of yourself. Maybe you should do us a favor and remove yourself from the gene pool!
Angella Lofthouse

This is sick, vile, and probably really funny, and I didnt know where to find it on your site. Please help me laugh at an innocent child!
Here it is, Kevin

I must apologize for the email I sent earlier. It was rude and uncalled for. That's the danger with email. I was offended by your sitr, and won't visit it again, but please disregard my other comments.

Philosophical

I 'm not sure why but I do love this kind of news. But I'm not insane about the sniff sniff style of commentary. The bright but insecure intellect doing the copy seems to be suffering from short man's syndrome.
Michael

!?!?! I read a certan urban legend about a couple caught in a storm. Not only was there no stupidity on the part of either of them, and absolutely NO humor involved, but it was also incredibly disgusting and disturbing. I was merely looking to be amazed and astounded by somewhat humorous stories of unfortunate happenings. I was not looking to be nauseated by horriffic tales. You should probably remove that story, I don't think anyone would miss it. People who actually like this story are SICK! For the love of GOD take that story off, so no one has toread what I did.
B. R

I couldn't help but laugh in disbelief when I figured it out what this site is. I don't mean to be rude, but the Darwinian mythology has been obliterated by modern science. How is it that people still stand by Darwin's racist, sexist, philosophies? Does anyone have any response?
Hah, Stefan

Stefan is wrong. Darwin was a brilliant man who spent 25 years trying to reconcile his devout religious views with his findings before publishing. I am offended by people who accuse him of moral lapses.

Owen Hart

Wrestler Owen Hart died in a tragic fall from a helicopter hovering over the fighting ring. "All men can fly, but sadly only in one direction." Readers submitted him to the pending section, and flames began to pour in.
