: Quiz LawIf a Tree Falls in the Woods and Everyone is Watching, Will Anyone Clean Up the Mess?
So, there's this online reality TV deal called Lifecaster, right? Lots of the kids these days, they tape themselves all Ed style, and you can go on over there and watch folks go on about their mundane lives. I don't know why anyone would want to watch someone else fiddle around on their Facebook page and Twitter, but there you go.
Anyway, so this one guy, a 19-year-old kid, he decides to kill himself on camera. Hahaha, right? What a practical joker! And all these people are watching him, live, swallow some pills, and they're all whooping it up, having a great time watching this dude off himself, encouraging him, and waiting around for the punchline.
Only the punchline never arrives -- they sat there and watched the guy fall into the afterlife. Live on the Internet. And, after several hours, the police arrived, and they were still watching the guy, leaving stupid little OMG WTF comments like it was online entertainment. Because that's what the online world has become. Voyeuristic to the point of absurdity.
