Sam 45 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Just heard about this now, pretty fucking scary.http://myspacide.ytmnd.com/I didn't really believe it until i read this:http://www.kget.com/news/state/story.aspx?content_id=0298BF02-940B-4218-AD58-295E49201036 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Did you get a link to his profile sent to you aswell? It's a bit of a crazy story. If I was on his friends list and noticed that bulletin, I would have no idea whether he was being serious or not. But turns out it was true. Even MySpace has a sinister side.

Neil Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Unfortunately, this kind of thing happens more often than you would think. I recall an incident some years ago (long, long before the likes of myspace) where some kid was chatting in some IRC chat channel and people watched him on his webcam as he tried to consume as many random medications as he could find around his house. People were encouraging him to do so in the chat rooms probably not quite realising he would be dead only a couple of hours later - all captured on webcam. Gruesome stuff.

Quite why anyone would encourage someone to get absolutely fucked on random medication is beyond me, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metarie Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 it's very sad but just another case proving that suicide is the ultimate attention seeking act, in my opinion. Poor kid probably just wanted someone to talk to him properly about it, but if he was only telling online friends then it was unlikely he was going to get the face to face contact he needed.

Wax Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Not sure how relevent this is, but a few weeks ago I got an invitation to join a group from some random. Now, I never use myspace, I think I've posted events on it a few times but that's about it.Checked out the link anyway and this guy was strange. He had an eccentric collection of pictures with a few of them close up shots of corpses. Thought it was beyond bizarre and so deleted the email from my Outlook. Just went into my Gmail account after reading this to see if I could find the email again. I did and the link now comes up as "Invalid Group ID".Puzzled and also slightly spooked! Anyone else get this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was another case involving a kid who was on IRC taking shrooms, and all the people there were egging him on to do crazy shit, he then stabbed himself and ran down the street smashing stuff up, until the cops arrived and shot him dead. The video from inside the cop car was on the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
