The "and propane accessories" bit at the end made this.

Oh shit, THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL.

I guess Colbert couldn't get the rights to Jerk It Out.

OH SHI this was just on Colbert. Congrats man.

5'd for picture, sound, text.

Ha, good find.

Excellent usage of Push it to the Limit.

This is absolutely worthy of a spot on top rated. One of the best examples of a classic ytmnd ever.

This is cool.

Punkintended, thanks for witholding the vulgar comment (if only others had the same restraint), and for appreciating Joe Strummer. I realize you guys are tired of seeing this site in top viewed; I didn't anticipate it staying on the front page this long. I do think it's served its intended purpose by now.

Nuroticat, I took your advice in regards to the title, and thanks to whoever sponsored this, I appreciate it.

Thanks picklestomper, and everyone else who left positive comments; I really appreciate it. It's good to know I wasn't the only one who was feeling so bummed out about this. And even though people are sick of seeing ytmnds about Steve's death, the truth is, by the time the news has stopped reporting on it and most people have forgotten about it, his family will still have a long way to go before they can continue with their lives. So please keep them in your thoughts/prayers/meditations/whatever you believe in.

Poopsy, as I said, I REALIZE THIS SORT OF THING HAPPENS EVERYDAY. This is just a more visible situation because Steve was such a well-liked guy and did such important work. If you think his career only amounted to pissing off animals, you just couldn't be more wrong.

I meant the "=(" in all seriousness; I just remember reading that quote in an article and it being especially poignant to me.

And cyberen, whether you believe in prayer or not, I just wanted to stress that the effect of this on Steve's family is something we all should give pause to consider right now. There are those out there who believe in prayer, and if you do, now would certainly be the time for it. But to each his own. I also included the link to donations for those who wish to respond in that way.

NoTransFat, my point was that, on a basic level, it's hard to comprehend someone so energetic and full of life, not to mention so young, actually dying. The guy just exuded optimism, not to mention he was strong as an ox. The only thing I can think to compare it to would be if Lance Armstrong suddenly died, although I'm not sure if even he is as universally liked as Steve was.

Adverb, I was just quoting an article at http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,20357000-948,00.html . She might've been helped a little with the quote, or maybe she's just a really eloquent girl. Regardless, I think it's obvious the sentiment was genuine.

Skunt, didn't mean to suggest that his family needed donations to get by, I just felt people would appreciate having a link they could go to and feel like they've accomplished something positive. This was a charity that Steve was involved in chosen by the family. Obviously money is the least of the family's worries right now =(

Regal, why don't you go put yourself in the presence of a deadly animal?

Hypnotist is right, people come in contact with stingrays all the time just swimming at the beach. His death had nothing to do with irresponsibility, it was just a horrible freak accident.

Evilregal, he was a professional. His show became popular because people thought he was putting his life in danger frequently, but the truth is, he knew what he was doing. And his goal wasn't to provoke animals, but to stress the importance of conservation by getting people excited about them.

MM7, I'm so sorry about your parents. I realize this kind of thing happens everyday; I was just particularly heartbroken over this situation.

Insta-5 for the Clash.

Trombone, I would much rather have seen the president die.

I really hope this stays top rated for a good long time.

Designs look nice. Just a simple ytmnd star logo on athletic gray or brown would look cool, too.

Ha, so dramatic sounding. This is one of the greatest dews ever. Horribly underrated, probably because it's anime related.

w00t, in before 20.
