he should file a lawsuit against the company that makes those dishes for not mentioning in their installation guide all the dangers involved when choosing to drill those cable holes with firearms

I'd hate to see this guy try to install a gas furnace.

I noticed this was posted on April 1st. Is this a bad April Fools joke...?

*news

Adding video to channels (News) - requested by Constitutional_Patriot.

I SHOULD PROBABLY START USING A JAR-OPENER FOR THOSE STUBBORN JAR LIDS.

I'd hope it's fake. Most of the time I read news like this about someone doing something incredibly stupid, I can at least say to myself, "Well, I can sort of understand why he might have thought it was a good idea". This story, though... seriously wtf?

I followed the links and it was posted by KCTV5 @ 6:25 am CDT March 25, 2008, not April Fools.

common mistake, could happen to anybody

Damn, wanted to see this, too bad it's *dead

Invocations (dead) cannot be called by enon because enon is not privileged - sorry.

A gun like a sword should never leave its housing unless it is meant to kill or maim some one or something.

These tools where made for killing (not just humans), not for opening locks or drilling holes.

Just worked for me, doesn't seem dead.

What an idiot. Common sense should tell you that a .22 isn't going to be big enough to fit your cable through. You need at least a .357 for standard gauge cable. I used a .45 when installing mine because I was using the higher grade cable.

I can't even bring myself to watch this. Just the title is incredibly sad.

what a sad story

this story makes me a sad panda

I don't know what all of you are crying about. This is fucking hilarious!

So did he end up installing it properly?

guns don't kill people, TV kills people.

You have to admit, if his wife hadn't been standing in the wrong place then it probably would have worked. Maybe they live 50 miles from the nearest hardware store. Oh well.

Yeah, it's only funny if you kill YOURSELF while doing something like that.

^shooting a .22 at a wall, twice, at close range, is a betterthanaverage way of attempting to kill yourself.

anyway, won't somebody think of the (genetically retarded) children here?

i can't get over the bit the guy says about "bad things happen to good people"... like wtf?
this isn't some accident. it's not like people use .22s all the time to install TV, ffs... luck had NOTHING to do with it.

Note to self:

If having problems with the wife, move to Deepwater, Missouri.

guns are bad m'kay!

Especially in the hands of idiots!

I read about this right after it happened. I'm still trying to decide if the husband was an idiot or a genius.

Tragic accident or brilliant murder, you decide.

"I was in the shower when his son came over and told me that his mom had been shot."

Hmmm, something about the neighbor's story doesn't seem right to me. I smell a conspiracy...

Really sad.

She was obviously holding the bulletproof glass in front of her face instead of her chest like the instructions for the dish said.


Now, that joke being said, why is there like 2 videos of men shooting at their wives in the top 15?

in nature, picking the wrong mate is often fatal.

And they are all from me... mouaaahahahahahah

In reality, I found one as a suggestion of the other on youtube. Having said that, it might be representative of how people here are...I won't finish that sentence. Hmm, hhmm, enjoy.

If he had accidentally shot himself it would be hilarious to me, but since he killed an innocent, it's just not cool. Not at all.

People who hurt themselves for stupidity is completely fair game; they're idiots who exist only to entertain me, but when people who had nothing to do with it are hurt, it is much less funny.

Innocent? She married and bred with a man from Deepwater, Missouri. And if he tried to put a hole in his house with the gun, he'd probably done plenty of other things that should have sent alarms ringing in her ears.

"Buyer beware", I guess I could say.

I was really hoping for a shot of the wall.

Idiot....

And we trust these people to be responsible with their firearms? Trust these people with that much power?

Well, in this case, it's a woodsy area so they need firearms in hosehold for protection obviously. But it just goes to show you that relying on 'personal merit' as a safety guarantee just isn't enough.

Isn't it ironic how liberal the argument gets when conservatives tries to defend rights to bear firearms, and vice versa to liberals becoming very conservative on the same subject?

Thats odd....if I lived in Missouri I'd shoot myself, not my wife.

What gets me is the deadpanned delivery of all the newsfolks. What they should have said was, "Folks, you're not going to believe this next story about a moron, a .22 pistol, and a satellite cable. Proof if there ever was that Darwin was right. Take it away, Sandra!"

I found the story incredibly sad of course, though your guys are evil with the comments. Oh man.

This is technically a vid that shows a real life example of Homer-style gun use - buuuuuut I'm going to withhold adding it to the channel for sentimental reasons.

I know I'm not privileged, but if I was I'd request a "MENSA" channel for this...

I can't feel sorry for this guy.

Thats not bad luck. It's just stupid.

Pity it wasn't a ricochet - this guy really needs a Darwin award.
