What part of "don't try this at home" didn't you understand, Jackass??

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110620/ap_en_ce/us_obit_ryan_dunn

PHILADELPHIA — "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn, who along with his castmates made Americans cringe and snicker through vulgar stunts in their multimillion-dollar TV and movie franchise, was killed early Monday in a fiery car crash. He was 34.

Dunn, a daredevil whose most famous skits included diving into a sewage tank and shoving a toy car into his rectum, was driving his 2007 Porsche in suburban Philadelphia when it went off the road into the woods and burst into flames. A passenger was also killed, and speed may [?!?] have been a factor in the crash, West Goshen Township police said...

[and now, for the best part]

... A few hours before the 3 a.m. crash, Dunn tweeted a picture of himself drinking with two friends. The photo has since been removed.

Let's quote Forrest on this one - "Stupid is as stupid does"

Sad to hear he's gone. He was my favorite of the group.
R.I.P.

Hey, here's a fun idea! Let's all laugh at someone who died!
Did he do something stupid that led to his own demise? Yes. Did he live his life without giving a damn about his own well being? Yes. But he still died doing what he loved. (Being a jackass)

Anyway, my mixed message aside, I enjoyed the Jackass series and am a little sad that a member died. They mutilate themselves for my entertainment. I'm surprised nothing happened on the actual show or movies

@abramokids: He was drunk driving and killed a passenger. Remorse runs slim.

@abramokids: gotta agree, a sad thing to hear, especially for a healthy 34 year-old. Saw a pic of the wreckage of his car and no way anyone was walking away from that. Was hard to tell it was even a car.

@holymythos: better put, forgiveness runs slim.

Remorse? I am sure wherever he's spending eternity, he'll probably look on those facts you mentioned and not be overly proud.
Not to mention all families involved.
And if this thread is any indication, fans are remorseful at those tragic events as well. Plenty of remorse here.

To be fair, you're assuming that he was drunk driving. A picture tweeted hours before does not prove that he was DUI. Not saying it isn't probable but innocent til proven guilty... TMZ says the autopsy is underway. http://www.tmz.com/2011/06/20/ryan-dunn-autopsy-medical-examiner-jackass-movie-dead-dies-died-car-crash-investigation-pennsylvania-route-322/

Even if he was drunk driving, it's still sad he's dead. Could have easily been prevented and if he was, it's damn stupid and his fault, but still sad nonetheless.

No matter how big of a Jackass you are or how you live your life, 34 is way too young to pass away. R.I.P and my heart goes out to his friends and family.

My heart goes out the the passenger he killed. If ryan dunn had survived, and if he was intoxicated, he'd be facing criminal charges, vehicular homicide at the least.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
