We all enjoy a laugh, but these "pranks" will only end when some poor bas***d has a heart attack and dies.

Ooh-Rah Marine Aviation!

My grandfather was a crew chief in the Air Force for decades.
One of my favorite stories that he told was of the first time an AV-8A (original British Harrier, before US adopted them) landed at his base for a demonstration. He, along with everyone else on the flightline, watched in awe as it gently slowed to a halt mid-air, before decending to the runway. It apparently about gave them all a heart attack for fear of a stall.

died of heart attack... rip

hehe

Your right, you always pay more for goods and services when its needed.

But capitalism will drive down costs across the board and that heart attack will cost way less then under the current system

Except they already discussed why conventional model for capitalism fails when it comes to health care. You can't exactly shop around for the best price when you're in the middle of a heart attack.

My gut feeling is that the "witnesses" in this are actors too. This is a viral video with the tag for a movie (hitting theaters today, btw...) at the end. I would think that pulling a stunt like this with real unsuspecting citizens would result in actual heart attacks, physical injuries, assaults upon one or more of the actors, plus numerous calls to the police. I believe that every aspect of this is staged.

Bikie could have had a cramp....or a heart attack, or a stroke, or a momentary vision issue....youve no idea why he stopped, the point is, it does not matter one iota.

They were going SO slowly to begin with, the only reason the cop could have hit him is if he was RIGHT up his ass, or paying NO attention to the road...both instances makes him an asshole up front, let alone negligent in his duties to drive safely.

I heard he spoke to the producers about the direction he wants to go, in case he has a heart attack or something.

You are an a-godzilla-ist and that is entirely a practical concession to the fact that you can't really afford giant monster insurance considering recent statistics for giant lizard attacks and indeed going through life avoiding Tokyo at all costs is just kinda a bummer - imagine all the fresh sushi you could miss out on.

You can't actually prove that there never was a Godzilla or that there never will be a Godzilla and you can only assume (not demonstrate) that there is not a Godzilla planet orbiting one of the stars a few galaxies down the way.

All you can really say is that Tokyo is still standing and that all the various accounts of Godzilla's antics across the myriad of B-movies and hollywood blockbusters that feature him as a character seem to have no basis in reality for various reasons. You move on with your day, smile a bit and never really bother to duck for cover.

And that's all we're saying about God. To my knowledge, that is the bleeding edge of audacious claims being made by anyone who is even vaguely respected - simply that we can't take religious claims seriously any more, so we are going to move on with our lives, only dealing with religion directly when it decides to be a bit too influential for our tastes.

But fine, based on the secondary predicate principle and a lengthy philosophy 101 essay with no shortage of verbal meandering through Descartes, et al., atheists kinda sorta make a claim of some sort. What's your point.

And if you think that the atheist experience simply trawls the bottom of Christian intellectualism then who would you have them debate, Ray comfort? Matt Slick? Perhaps you?

More than anything, the most disgusting trait of Christianity is that it equates child rapists and children as equally sinful in the eyes of God. There are certainly various arguments saying that different consequences will be felt here on earth, or perhaps that there is an arbitrary age of innocence, etc... But almost universally, Christians agree that the following scenario is at least possible:

Rapist rapes child, we'll start with that.

The child struggles through the resultant torturous anguish across a lifetime, starts a support group, mans a hotline, works in the community to support fellow victims, increases awareness and so on while loving his/her family and friends, making mistakes periodically and occasionally letting loose at a concert or something. The child (now an adult) is unfortunately just a minimally observant Jew and never really gave Jesus any consideration, so when he/she gets hit by a drunk driver at the unfortunate age of 34, he/she is tormented in hell for the rest of eternity.

The rapist, meanwhile, goes on with his (statistically probable) life, perhaps he rapes some more children (also statistically probable) and maybe he then stops at some point, realizing it is wrong and maybe even feels guilty about it. Ridden by guilt, the preaching of a wayward street preacher catch his ears one day. He ventures into church for the first time. He is moved. He proclaims his belief in Jesus and the resurrection. He feels his sins are forgiven and he can feel years of guilt being washed away. Maybe he even admits his history as a rapist to a sympathetic inner circle of confidants, spiritual advisors and friends. He dies of a heart attack, and spends eternity in heaven.

That is disgusting and a god that sets such a system up is disgusting.

Many compassionate people are blinded into thinking this is just and good in an effort to tenaciously preserve their own sense of eternal safety and cosmic worth at all costs. That is less disgusting just because it is an understandable impulse, but it is disgusting nonetheless.

It's all fun and games until Basse has a heart attack.

Then it's a hilarious snuff video.

I'm making fun of him because hes stupid, not because hes fat.

Edit: also dude, heart attack, you're one rant away.

Everybody enjoys a laugh, but this "prank" could have serious consequences. Who is culpable if the victim has a heart attack or stroke? What if the "dead" guy was attacked and killed. Sorry if I seem a killjoy, but it's a prank too far for my liking.

Does different voice-over consider a dupe?

Some of those people looked like prime candidates for heart attacks. That's what I'd be worried about above everything else.
