The ethics of blogging

Posted on March 16, 2004 @ 11:21 pm

Corey and I were just discussing whether the mainstream popularity of the Darwin Awards has made it acceptable to poke fun at zany suicide attempts. On the one hand, when you stumble across a headline like “Man Attempts Suicide by Crucifixion” online, the jokes practically write themselves (”The Passion: more dangerous than professional wrestling and Jackass combined!”). On the other hand, it’s still an attempted suicide. What’s a conscientious blogger to do?

Either way, hat tip to VH1’s Best Week Ever Blog for the link.
