That would have been pretty damn funny to watch

Heard about that on news earlier.

I used to go on there about 7 years ago just to give some yanks a load of sh*t. It was extemely funny but thats all it was. Just a bit of fun.

There would always be a few of us there, I'd never go on on my owm coz the whole point was entertaining me and my mates.
People go on there to insult and be insulted so i find it hard to believe someone would take there own life just for being insulted.
There must be other factors in him deciding to do it, something getting him down or something.
