Stupid kid decapitated by Six Flags ride.

[PhrostByte]

COBB COUNTY, Ga. (MyFox Atlanta) – Investigators with Cobb County police said a boy was decapitated at Six Flags amusement park Saturday.

Authorities said the incident happened just after 2:00 p.m. Saturday. A church group went to the amusement park and a group of boys with the group jumped a fence and entered an area that was marked off limits.

One of the boys jumped up and tried to grab someone's feet who was on the Batman ride. The boy ended up being decapitated.

Investigators did not release the boy's age, name or the name of the church the boy was traveling with.

Thoughts?

[Maklershed]

Wow. And I thought Fabio had bad luck at amusement parks.

[MRJESUS925]

Ironic. The idiot was with a church group.

[Maklershed]

Ironic because members of church groups are usually known for their strong head/torso bond?

[linkpwns]

I wouldn't hold the theme park to blame.

[Warlock TCK]

Owned.

[coolsteel]

Wonder if the group got refunded

[KiLL3r]

Well that's what he gets for jumping the fence.

[bigdaddy]

Ironic. The idiot was with a church group.

God killed him because he and the other boys were really going to have sex.

[PhrostByte]

Ironic. The idiot was with a church group.

[whoknows]

First a kid accidently kills himself while throwing a temper tantrum and now another kid jumps a fence and loses his head.

What a fun week.

[electronicthroat]

You people have no compassion.

[MorPhiend]

It's too bad it happened, but better an idiot's head than some innocent person on a ride getting their legs broken because some moron grabs their feet while the ride is going 60 mph.

[CrimGhost]

He didn't pray hard enough.

[Koggit]

Ironic because members of church groups are usually known for their strong head/torso bond?

Post of the week

Thoughts?

He was 17, fuck him.

[uberpwner93]

My local news station is doing a story on it now. They're calling it an accident.

[Dead of Knight]

You people have no compassion.

You must be kidding. This dumbfuck deliberately climbed the fence and attempted to fucking GRAB THE LEG OF SOMEONE ON THE RIDE. Either he was the biggest moron on the planet, or he was trying to kill himself.

[zman73]

Wow. And I thought Fabio had bad luck at amusement parks.

The infamous Apollo's Chariot incident at the park I spent 3 or 4 summers at with seasons passes: Busch Gardens Williamsburg... I love that coaster

what's weird is I had a feeling when I saw the headline that it was the Atlanta location... sure enough it was... terrible accident

[Koggit]

My local news station is doing a story on it now. They're calling it an accident.

What would you call it? Suicide?

I'd call it an accident too; I don't think anybody intended for anybody to die.

[PlumeNoir]

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25431893/

MSNBC is saying he was retreiving a hat. THAT is irony - not that he was part of a church group.

"Police have declined to release the teenager's name until an autopsy is completed. "
...I'm guessing the general head/ torso area might be a good place to start.
(Yes, I know, they have to do it anyway for signs of drugs, alcohol, etc. It was too good a line to pass up.)

I wonder what kind of distance the head got...

[uberpwner93]

What 17 year old kid in the right mind would jump 2 fences heading towards a roller coster?

[Sofa King Kool]

This reminds me of the roller coaster I invented called "Oh Fuck!"

You get into the roller coaster, then, you're slowly wheeled into a pitch black room. Doors close behind you, closing out any remaining source of light. The coaster sits there. Everyone on board waits. A minute passes. People on the coaster are beginning to wonder if the ride broke down. Another minute passes. The chatter increases. Another minute. People begin to worry; sitting alone in the silent darkness. Finally, the coaster moves. Everyone breaths a sigh of relief. The coaster slowly travels upward. Higher, higher, and higher. The coater climbs to the highest, legal limit. It stops. The coater slowly rolls over the edge. People yell and cheer as the coaster soars downward in the black abyss.

Then, without warning, a siren blares, and several feet down the track, haunting red lights illuminate a metal pipe extending across the track at neck level.
"OH FUCK" painted on the pipe. The park patrons begin to scream in terror, but their fear is short lived. Before they can duck, their heads have already been violently severed from their bodies.

The seats open, and the coaster comes to a sudden halt, effectively throwing the bodies into a massive pile. The coaster then goes through a rinse cycle, and returns to the entrance to pick up the next load of people.

[Maklershed]

:-k

[uberpwner93]

I wonder what kind of distance the head got...

Same here. At least 20 ft.

[Koggit]

What 17 year old kid in the right mind would jump 2 fences heading towards a roller coster?

He was part of a church group, clearly the kid was not in any sort of mind state that can be called "right".

Exactly. I have no compassion for people this deliberately stupid. You're 17 and somehow you still think doing shit like this is a good idea? Had they succeeded in grabbing someone's legs while the ride was whizzing by, what did they think was going to happen? If you're this stupid, thank you for removing yourself from the gene pool.

[lilboo]

:-s
Not a suicide, not an accident. There needs to be something else. "An act of stupidity"

Now of COURSE this is upsetting..but really.. why on earth would someone do this? I feel bad for the friends there watching this jack ass. I mean, think about it. Could you imagine if you were there and your dumb ass friend was like "LOLZ IMMA GET THEY LEG" and you WATCH your friend's head be knocked off?!

That would ruin me for life.

[rabbitt]

Fuckin' moron.

[keithp]

I feel compassion.

For the poor fuck er who got scarred for life knowing he kicked the freakin HEAD OFF SOME KID.

Talk about nightmares for life!

For some reason, I can picture this animated like Heavy Metal...

[Koggit]

I never feel bad for the deceased, ever, I feel bad for those left behind. My friend's sister died a couple months ago. I didn't know her at all, but it upset the hell out of me because I know how much it upset him and his family. That's what death does. This death is every bit as tragic as any other, because a devastated family is left to grieve.


With that said, let's continue to lol at natural selection.

Obviously, I feel bad for the family's loss - I won't mock that; the death of one's child - even if he is a moron - is not something I would even scoff at.

But I hardly call this tragic. If he was standing near the ride and someone dropped their cell phone and it bonked him on the head, killing him - that'd be tragic. If he hurt some poor rider with his stunt - that'd be tragic.

Or, even if it was a little kid, say ten-years-old, who hopped the fences, then I'd budge and say it was tragic, because kids don't know better.

But this was a 17 yr old that should know better, who chose to ignore warning signs that it was a restricted area and hopped not one - but two fences. I can't call this tragic.

EDIT: For some reason, I missed your last line when I was quoting you. Oh well, I still stand behind what I said, in case some fun governor comes in and says we're all sick for making fun of this.

[captainfrizo]

I agree with Koggit. No matter how much the human race as a whole may have benefited from this idiot's death, there are those going through a very difficult time as a result of those acts of utter stupidity, and I do feel sorry for them.

[PlumeNoir]

For sake of comparison, this is tragic:

A 16-year-old died after the Michigan Department of Transportation minivan she was sitting in on the shoulder of I-696 westbound in Southfield was hit by an SUV at about 1:30 p.m., according to Michigan State Police.

Lt. Shannon Sims said a 60-year-old man, driving a Ford Excursion, fell asleep, veered off the highway near the Lahser exit and slammed into the minivan, which the 16-year-old and a 19-year-old man were sitting in.

Both were taken to Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, where the 16-year-old later died. Sims said the 19-year-old is stable and expected to recover.

The teens, whose name has not yet been released, were working with MDOT’s youth program, helping to clean litter from the side of the highway.

The 60-year-old, whose name has not been released, was not arrested.
Sims said the man woke up just before the accident happened, but it was “too late to stop the vehicle.”

Epic response

[Bezerker]

You know that carnival comes into town every year? Well this year they came through with a ride called The Mixer. The man said, "Keep your head, and arms, inside the Mixer at all times." But Bill Jr, he was a DAAAREDEVIL, just like his old man. He was leaning out saying "Hey everybody, Look at me! Look at me!" Pow! He was decapitated! They found his head over by the snow cone concession."

The story reminded me of the song above.

[dastly75]

I think we need some CAG artists to do a visual representation of this incident.

[mitch079]

This surely is the work of Gravelings.

Man, I hope you get the reference.

[Pure Apathy]

I think this ride is a lot safer than one that chops off your head.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtJWtTbanmw

[JJSP]

Yahoo News is also reporting he was retrieving a hat, not trying to grab the legs of a rider. Either way, the kid jumped two fences to get inside a restricted area - I can't feel sorry for someone that stupid.

Exactly, that is sad, this isn't. I high school some ass was making fun of the drunk driving speech they gave every year at my high school. A week later that fucker was dead when he drove into a ditch after prom. There is no compassion for that, he was a fucker, and I'm VERY glad he didn't kill anyone else.

This doesn't make sense to me.

A person doesn't mind dying. That is, they can't care -- they're dead. The deceased can't have emotion, so it's silly to feel bad for them, or say it doesn't matter because of who they were. The aspect of death that should be saddening is the emotions of those affected, who survive and miss the presence of the deceased.

If the dumb coaster-jumping kid's friendly and family suffer more than van-girl's, I'd consider coaster-jumping kid's death to be more tragic.


This is a pretty dumb argument, but I think it gets down to a fundamental difference in how death is viewed.

They could always duct tape the boy's head back on and then sell him to a blind kid.

Ok, totally wanted to comment on this earlier, but my inner child controlled my fingers. A lady with a fake leg went on Wicked Twister at Cedar point in Ohio. It landed by Disaster Transport. You can't ride Wicked Twister with fake legs anymore. I wonder if anyone fainted when they saw the plastic leg flying towards Cedar Point's million dollar garage. I am in the process of MSPainting a reenactment of the kid getting his head falcon kicked off.

I highly doubt that anyone connected would read this thread. Death of someone close to you kinda does that to you. Besides, if I was face to face with his parents, I wouldn't say, "Damn, your kid was a moron," but man - would I be thinking it REALLY hard.

Besides, he was part of a church group, so he's with God now and that is what He planned, right?

Besides, part two, they're religious - they'll forgive us.

If I die doing something incredibly stupid like jumping a shark or jumping over a fence to get a hat or grab peoples legs on a roller coaster, everyone here has the right to make fun of me on the internet and at my funeral. In fact, you can teabag my dead body. I honestly feel bad for the ones who saw it and the person who kicked his head off. If you are dumb enough to jump in front of a machine that doesn't care if you live or die, you deserve the consequences. I wonder what Ed Markey will have to say about this. He is the JT of Roller Coasters.

Where and what coaster is that? Looks like a Morgan Hyper. Japan?

[Chase]

This is Darwin worthy.

[Mr_hockey66]

This is like the third time. The idiots climb a huge fence and get under the batman ride. This ride is a hanging ride where the track is above you. You .can get into the park this way. The cut through where the ride goes over your head in a flip. Then you hop a short fence and your in the park for free. It happened last year too. Peoples heads get hit by peoples feet. Thats what they get for being stupid. Six flags should electify the fence.

[camoor]

That's wild.

Most of the time you have to try really hard to get killed by a roller coaster ride, and this is no exception. Still tragic though.

I think everyone here knows those kids who never listened to reason and always had to act the fool. Everyone has done something stupid at one point, but I figure the law of averages works to make victims out of the repeat offenders. Let's not forget that this kid put the rider in danger too - if the rider had lost a leg I doubt anyone here would feel any sympathy for the kid.

[leveskikesko]

I'd rather have more idiots in the world than more soulless a-holes personally.

[Ender]

I think it's a little funny that the reporter used the wording "The boy ended up being decaptitated", almost implying that he sort of wasn't decapitated at first, and then some other stuff happened, and then finally decapitation took place. Anybody? No?

Anyway, this is pretty rough. I feel bad for the family. Especially years down the road when someone asks the parents if they have any kids, and then they say "We did, but our son passed away", and then the people say "Oh my God, I'm so sorry, what happened?", and then they have to reply "He got his head lopped off by a rollercoaster". Tragic.

[MorPhiend]

When I first read this story yesterday soon after it happened, the end of the story said that cause of death still had to be determined, pending an autopsy...#-o

[Nathan_Sama]

dumb fuck

[KingDox]

It sucks for the family of the kid, but really if it wasn't a roller coaster something else would have done this kid in. I'm kinda shocked people on the internet haven't found his my space and started pissing all over it.

The internet is so freaking unforgiving about stuff like this. But when you can't do decent things like not move in front of a speeding machine you're going to get no sympathy.

At the very least I hope this shows the kids he went to school/church with that your not immortal at 17. Wake your ass up and don't do stupid shit or your ass will be dead.

And his memory will live on. Every person waiting in line for that ride will talk about the kid who got his head ripped off getting a hat.

[VipFREAK]

Oh god! Make it stop before I lose my head!

You people have no compassion.

Bwahahahahhahahha! oh man... Tree'D!

[blackbird3216]

which six flags is this? I went to Great Adventure, and my cousin lost his hat on Superman Ultimate flight. they said he couldn't get it back until the park closed, so he just left it there. The ride goes dangerously low the the ground, so you would be decapitated if you wanted to retrieve anything. He didn't wanna wear glasses on the ride.

Anyway, anyone who goes in the path of a dangerous vehicle to retrieve something less than $20 is really stupid. Sure, its sad, but he shouldn't have done it at all. BTW, what happened on Apollo's chariet?

Edit: Read this: http://www.ajc.com/health/content/metro/cobb/stories/2008/06/28/six_flags_death.html
"According to police and the amusement park, Ferguson and a friend climbed over two 6-foot fences -- a wrought-iron style park perimeter fence and a second chainlink fence around the Batman ride -- as a shortcut to get back into the park after lunch. Signs about 40 to 50 feet apart on the outer fence warn that it is a "restricted area" for "authorized personnel only." According to park officials, a sign on a locked gate at the chain link fence also reads "Danger zone" and "Do not enter.""

So on my local news, they interviewed an eye witness who said two boys went over the fence. One kid ducked, the other kid was trying to grab some people's legs. He was then thrown against a pole and his head popped off from the force. Then the news anchor said that the kid might have been trying to get a hat. Someone needs to get the story straight. Was he grabbing legs while getting his hat? Was he just getting his hat? Was he tickling the feet of riders? I really hop he was trying to get his lost hat.

Still no answer, but we learned that your head can fall off from hitting a pole!

I thought it was a known fact that if anything goes over the fence it was gone forever. Thats why you dont take anything on the coaster itself.

At Cedar Point and Disney. But it is ok at Six Flags where they just don't give a shit. ;) My worst experiences have been at Six Flags parks. I swear they draw some unruly people and hire dipshits to operate the rides. I am not saying every SF park is this way, but mine were.

[GTzerO]

I still can't wrap my head around this entire event. I've read Kendal's stuff but I still can't picture it in my mind.

[Krymner]

This is too funny. That dude was stupid. Period. I don't care if the guy was my brother, if I had to go to his funeral, I prolly would be cracking jokes in the eulogy.

I've lost a hat on a ride at that very same Six Flags park (not on Batman tho). Yeah, I was kinda mad, but I knew it was my own damn fault for forgetting to take it off. Did I jump a fence to get it back? Hell no. Consequently, I went back almost a month later, and the hat was still there underneath the coaster. Those kids that run the ride are so lazy, the dude's head may still be there too.

I don't feel sorry at all for the guy who lost his head. He was an idiot. He made an idoitic mistake. That mistake cost him his life. There usually are consequences to doing stupid stuff, and this dude suffered the ultimate consequence.

I DO feel sorry for the people who were undoubtably standing in line for an hour or more and couldn't ride the Batman ride because of this idiot. That would have pissed me off to no end if I had been in that line and told the coaster was being shut down cause of some douche broke the rules and got his head knocked off. This guy had no consideration for himself nor for others in the park, including his other church-mates who prolly had to cut their visit short because of this moron.

[Kendal]

I still can't wrap my head around this entire event. I've read Kendal's stuff but I still can't picture it in my mind.

Neither can the kid. I guess I should do a revised MSPaint explanation.

I was half expecting the pictures to surface on Rotten.com but no such luck.

[Soodmeg]

At Cedar Point and Disney. But it is ok at Six Flags where they just don't give a shit. ;) My worst experiences have been at Six Flags parks. I swear they draw some unruly people and hire dipshits to operate the rides. I am not saying every SF park is this way, but mine were.

One of the reason I really never go to theme parks. That and my hatred for standing in lines.

I cant stand going to a ride and seeing some high school/freshman college kid operating heavy machines like roller coasters.

[RedvsBlue]

What would you call it? Suicide?

I'd call it an accident too; I don't think anybody intended for anybody to die.

Nope, no intention of death, it was just a fortunate side effect of his stupidity... the human race as a whole is that much stronger today.

For everyone who's complaining about not not being compassionate, I save my compassion for bad things that happen to people beyond their control, this guy on the other hand, fully in control well up until Batman swung down on his head.

You know, maybe we're looking at this all wrong, maybe the ride, being the Batman ride and all, thought this kid was the Joker and decided it was time for some righteous justice to be handed out on his ass?

[Shmitty]

the fact that a person died is tragic, especially for all of his loved ones. but come on, the kid hopped two fences, ignored multiple signs saying "don't fucking go in there!" before proceeding to go the fuck in there anyway and ended up swatting at something going 60 miles per hour. are we REALLY going to try and trumpet bullshit compassion over this? honestly?

[Xevious]

[Veronica Mars]

I remember at Great America, this also happened. I think a kid wanted to get his change, and someone came and kicked him ( Top Gun) . They broke their legs and the kid went flying :/

[Strell]

*some time later*

Man. I feel kind of bad for laughing at some of the stuff in this thread, but there is indeed some comedy gold to be unearthed.

Also, Sofa King Kool, I had an idea for a coaster also. I called it the Russian Roulette. Basically, during one run each day, the seat restraints come unhinged in the middle of the ride.

The park would enjoy the added bonus of never running out of hot dogs, either.

[SneakyPenguin]

Man, I just had two hot dogs a few hours ago.

And now I want more.

[Kendal]

what hat size do you think he wears?

He doesn't. He wears a cork.

Before he got that hat, he had a good head on his shoulders.

[Strell]

Geez.

Now that I think about it, I remember yesterday that all the people riding any coaster where your feet hang (in this case, the Goliath and the Superman) who were wearing sandals or flip flops could take them off before the ride, so they wouldn't get thrown off during the trip.

I wonder if head-removal-ability is better served barefoot versus being shoe'd. Like if the half inch of rubber some kid in China is sewing onto a Nike show all the difference between a bad headache and decapitation.

[Kendal]

From the news reports, it sounds like the head fell off from the force of being slammed into a pole. Probably a big ride support.

[Strell]

Yeah, I get that. But does the elasticity of rubber ensure more force is adequately delivered into the body? Or is some of it lost in the transferral of energy?

These are questions of physics to be studied for the greater good, and also to determine if sweat shops are in possession of deadly weapons.

[Kendal]

In this case, it seems like the train hit the kid, not a foot. In other cases, I would be surprised if the leg didn't come off as well and the head. Kind of like how Jack Handy hit his head into a dogs head in a passing car and the dog's head fell off. But since in these cases, a leg is not as strong as someone's neck, it might possibly break off after impact. I imagine it like a wishbone effect except no one is lucky and both involved wish they hadn't done it.

[Strell]

Don't bring Jack Handey into this. He's no help. He told his nephew Disneyland burned down. What would he know?

[Kendal]

But it is probably the only time the story would have any relevance in a discussion ever.

[Koggit]

It takes less pressure to deform flesh than shoe, so a shoe-to-head collision will transfer more energy than a foot-to-head collision.

[Kendal]

Csi Ftw! ;)

[Access_Denied]

Stupid moron. What did he think was going to happen after he grabbed that persons legs? He was either going to break their legs instantly, get decapitated or end up soaring up in the air along with the train, and fall and kill himself. And the fact that he was with a church group proves that he's got about as many brain cells as a jar of peanut butter. Good riddance.

I live near a Six Flags. Working there is like being in hell. They make you do senseless shit all day while it's 100 degrees out. It's like being a slave. Then, worst of all, they pay minimum wage for your back breaking, mind scarring work. The ONLY people who work at Six Flags are dipshits, because nobody in their right mind would even apply for a job there.

[guinaevere]

MSNBC is saying he was retreiving a hat. THAT is irony - not that he was part of a church group.Thank you.

He was stupid. Enough said. If a family member/loved one did something this stupid, I honestly wouldn't stop the jokes from coming, because it's damn obvious he deserves no compassion for being such a fucking dumbass.I'm going to disagree with the consensus. I was a kid once upon a time, and did some amazingly stupid things myself. I still do amazingly stupid things. I'm willing to bet we all do stupid things that seem no big deal at the time. Who hasn't taken their eyes off the road while driving to fish for a cd or to make a call or something along those lines?

The kid is dead now and compassion for him is meaningless. But I do have compassion for his family. His own fault, I'm not in anyway saying it wasn't his own fault. But dear Lord, their son is dead. I also feel for the people on the ride at the time, because that's gotta be an extremely freaky feeling to have been on that when it occured, whether you saw anything or not.

She's trying to give people a chance to ease up and move it to the appropriate forum instead of just locking it all together. She is a mod, short for moderate (a balanced view on things), which is all that is being asked for. Discussion of race, religion and politics tend to bring out the fool in otherwise rational people. That is why the vs. forum was made.

At any rate, that is one horrible way to die regardless of the circumstances.

I hear that. I did so many stupid, dangerous things when I was that age, it's not even funny. But I always drew the line at stunts and selfish behavior that put other people at risk. This kid ("bonehead"?) could very easily have injured any of those riders, but for once the karmic scales of justice placed the consequences for that kind of behavior on the perpetrator, not an innocent bystander. So ... my sense of justice has outpaced my compassion on this one, I guess.

[Soodmeg]

I didnt see any debates going on. All I saw was people making fun of church....a topic that steamed from him being in a church group.

To me it seemed more that she was tired of all the church jokes that were going on. No one was trying to make any logical debates about religion at all they were just calling it stupid and making fun of it.

Something that goes on in every single thread ever created on CAG. There is no flame war going on here.

When 5 paragraph post about how jesus was real/fake pop up then she would have a point. As of right now its people simply makes jokes like they always have on every subject. I see no difference in this and ragging on Darth because he has bad skin and is home schooled or TMK because he is crazy, or myself for not being able to spell.

And yes, the hat is far better for irony and believability. Everyone loses hats on rollercoasters. My big brother and I were on the shockwave or some other coaster at Six Flags over Texas, and some dude's hat about three cars ahead of us went flying off. Jim caught it, I've never seen him react that fast before.

Watching tennis is a clear indication that you have hit rock bottom when it comes to things to do.

Ask moxio. I know he says he likes watching tennis, but you can see the desperation in his posts and behind his eyes, screaming silently for something to alleviate his sorrow.

[crunchewy]

The notion that this kid was reaching up to grab at people on the train is not a fact. Also it seems unlikely that he was kicked by anyone, and instead was more likely hit by the train itself because there are no reports of other injuries (that's my own deduction, not a fact either, but it seems likely to me because if somebody kicked him at those speeds, their leg would have at least been broken). Some witnesses said only that he was trying to retrieve something, other witnesses said he was trying to touch the train. They might have been right, but they may not have been right. Witnesses sometimes (often?) don't really know what has happened.

Straight from the lawyer's mouth. Two 6' fences and signs all over the place aren't enough? Should the entire fucking ride be encased in a cage? Or would they then be at fault when some shit-brained ape fucker falls to his death because they made it so enticing to climb?

Your son is dead. Your son is dead due to no one's fault but his own, and your inept parenting ability. And it's the park's fault for not making taller fences?! I hope Darwin strikes again before these jackholes make it to court.

Geoffrey Hamrick was one of Ferguson's friends and remembers him as a person he knew would always lend a head.


"He knew more about Algebra than I did," Hamrick said. "If I needed help, I could talk to him. He was sitting right there beside me. His specialty was dividing by poles."


Hamrick recently saw Ferguson and described him as happy. For Hamrick, learning about the death of his friend was hard to bear.
"I went in the bathroom and started crying," Hamrick said. "Yeah, I'm pretty much a pussy."



The gym is left without one of its favorite sons, and a boy without a head.


Sorry.. I had to.

The creativity with which Darwinism manifests never ceases to amaze me.

No, it says Six Flags in the title.
That's because I fixed it.

Oh yeah, Disney is notorious for coving accidents up.


Looking at that site, seems like Disneyland has way more problems than Disneyworld. I wonder why that is.

This is honestly the first time I hope Six Flags wins a court case. For once, it wasn't their fault that something went wrong. Well not for once, but they have a major history of maintenance done poorly/incorrectly/not done at all or Ride Operator error. This was none of them. Maybe they could have made the fence 12 feet high, electrified and a moat filled with alligators and the plague. But then when someone gets fried, bitten and plagued, someone would sue.

Heads will roll if this is not thrown out!

Wait, did the fucktard parents actually SUE Six Flags for this? Was this posted in the middle of the thread or something? Because that's pretty ridiculous, though I can't say I'm surprised.

EDIT: Nevermind, found the link. AMERICA!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!
