So, I'm sure most of you have heard that Ryan Dunn, famous for the "stunts" he performed on the Jackass TV and in the movies, died in a recent car accident.

He was driving his Porsche at a speed of 130 miles an hour with a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit. His car crashed and caught on fire, killing him and his passenger.

While I do wish his family and friends well, the resulting arguments between critics of Dunn's death and his fans have been somewhat surprising. It seems like anyone who chastises him for endangering the lives of others on the road is getting flamed.

Example: Roger Ebert rather bluntly Tweeted: "Friends don't let jackasses drink and drive," before it was confirmed that he was the driver. Bam then Tweets:



Honestly, it does seem disrespectful to mock the dead, but I can't help but agree with Ebert's sentiment.

Thoughts?

Well at least he died the way he lived. With car parts up his ass.

I mean seriously you can't mock a jackass member. They mock themselves. Instead I absolutely hate drunk drivers and they deserve what they get to be honest.

I mean I hope he rests in peace and all. But this man was observed by millions of people and him passing away due to the cause of alcohol? It should be an obvious hint not to do so and should be poked fun at every step of the way.

E- I mean I think the worst this world can do to Ryan's death is Protest his -- Wait. This is happening?

Oh...

E2- Oh now I am reading that all of this is a Hoax. what the hell

While I think Dunn got what he deserved, no one deserves WBC at their funeral.

In all seriousness though, he really did get what he deserved and the passengers family should sue his estate for all it is worth. Fuck the other Jackass members that blatantly ignore that what he did was wrong. What if he had hit another car, a motorcycle, a pedestrian, or a house and killed some other innocent people?

When he was alive, he was a pretty funny guy, a great entertainer. Now he's just another statistic. For better or worse, the man died doing what he loved and did best. What he did was stupid, yes, but he payed for it with his life and thankfully he didn't take anybody outside of the car with him.

Hopefully when his friends are beyond grieving, they'll speak out against drunk driving. Whether they like it or not, they're role models for many youths, so that point could be taken very seriously.

Yeah, purple monkey punch fuckstick rectal thermometer?

Anyway, it seems like the hoax speculation stories are winning out on coverage. If it turns out he's playing a Joaquin Phoenix, I'ma be annoyed.
