Borodog..your entire post just says...I want to see a person die..cuz I think it would be really cool to watch what happens to them before and right as their dying.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure. Go with that. I said it would be "cool." Right.

I'll ask you the same question. You click away everytime a documentary shows the Zapruder film?

[/ QUOTE ]

its been ages but i vaguely remember seeing it in JFK...but yes I tend to avoid the voyerstic versions of 9/11 coverage etc.

I avoided nick berg getting his head chopped off etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

Me too. I have never watched it and have no interest.

If im watching a nature show and all of a sudden someone gets attacked that one thing.

But if they say hey...we have a video coming up where u get to watch somebody gets stabbed in the heart and we focus on them as they are dying...stay tuned!

I change the channel.
I don't get off on that kind of [censored]....you obviously do.

You're a jackass if you can't understand the difference between having an interest in death and "getting off on it."

[ QUOTE ]
you went to the trouble of making a post about wanting to watch the video of Steve Irwin dying..so you obviously think it would be really interesting and cool to watch.

[/ QUOTE ]

Stop projecting. If I watch a documentary on the Holocaust it doesn't mean I think it's "cool."

[ QUOTE ]
Go watch the Nick Berg video instead cuz, hate to

[/ QUOTE ]

I have zero interest in watching it.

[ QUOTE ]
burst your bubble, I dont ever see this getting released...you know...cuz he like has to kids under the age of 10 and stuff--yeah i know...just tell em to change the channel right?

[/ QUOTE ]

If it's never released that's fine. Probably certain to be better for the family.

But if it's released, I'll watch it.

How could this possibly NOT hit the internet?

Wanting to watch Steven Irwin be killed is no different than wanting to watch Nick Berg be killed or a video of a kid being killed.

Your interested in wanting to watch someone die, how they react as their dying etc...no matter how u try to slice it...thats what u want to see.

Trying to say watching Irwin's death is different than Nick Bergs is just BS.
And I totally believe based on your interest in seeing SI die that you never got around to watching Nick Berg being killed.

I'm a member of the "news media" and I will throw up if this video hits any air of a legitimate broadcast.

This is [censored] and you know it. There is a world of difference between a guy doing what he loved and being quickly struck by something he never saw coming, by all accounts without blood, and a guy screaming and crying getting his head cut off, knowing that its coming. If you think the two are equivalent there is something seriously wrong with you.

You're insane. One guy is accidentally killed by wildlife doing what he loved, the other guy is murdered by slow decapitation.

I couldn't care less what you "totally believe", because you are a total idiot. You overreacted and are now trying to rationalize. Apparently 2/3 of people would watch the video, and I would wager it's not because they would think it would be "cool" or they'd "get off on it."

CDS,

I like you as a poster, but you are coming off as a complete tool in this thread.

As for the OP
I am apathetic about watching it.
I think it is up to the family whether or not it gets released.Or if Steve Irwin actually said what some else said earlier in an interview.
I think it will end up getting released.

Very big difference between seing SI getting stung by and sting ray and see a man knowing he's going to die and then get his head cut off.

I've never seen the nick berg video and I dont plan on watching it. If the SI video came out I'd watch it right away and I dont think I'd feel bad about it.

[cardsharkk04]

Yea, I never watch really fcked up shi.t and people dying, but I would watch steve irwin getting stung by a stingray.
