jeez whatever happened to just sticking a person's hand into warm water and making them piss themselves in their sleep?
Pranks are only awesome now when someone dies

This thread makes me want to drink some Four Loko's right about now. Caffiene + 12% alcohol FTW.
I find the tone of that article downright terrifying -- freely available, so easy to obtain, inexpensive, he wasn't doing anything wrong, what a tragedy. Some fucking moron kills himself through absolute, unfettered stupidity and the whole tone of the article is to blame it on the 'net. I don't even feel sorry for his family, whatever he had -- if he had kids they are surely better off without such a dangerously stupid human being in a position of authority over them. If his parents are still living, then surely they knew by now that this is just the sort of thing that was going to happen one day -- they knew the fucking idiot from day one; no point pretending they didn't know it was going to be this, or bleeding out after getting his dick stuck in a vacuum cleaner, or a broken necktrying to jump a jet ski from the pool into the back of his truck.
You never know, he was stupid enough to be able to kill himself on caffeine, maybe he was stupid enough to pay thatlol at £3.29 per 100mg.. one cup of coffee has on average 120mg, do you honestly think the guy paid more for the caffeine powder than he would for an equivalent cup of coffee? There's WAY more than 100mg of caffeine in that tin of powder.
The kid's a moron for taking that much of this stuff and as much as I can understand the parents/aunt being devastated, they're also morons for saying it's anything other than his fault 100%.
Having said that, I was pretty surprised to hear that as little as two teaspoons of this stuff can fucking kill you. I'd say that's a pretty lower margin of error when selling this kind of industry-strength shit. At least with tylenol you gotta go through the process of swallowing 50-70 pills before you croak. With this stuff it's not like the majority of people have lab-grade measuring tools in there house, it's pretty difficult to tell the difference between 1/8 or a teaspoon and 1/4, not to mention the varying sizes of teaspoons out there, since most people probably don't use actually measuring spoons.. I've got sets of cutlery where 1/2 teaspoon is the same as 1/4 (or 1/8) or another cutlery set.
Just sayin..
Actually, some dipshits around here just fucked that up for us too.
