    Horrified tourists watch swimmers desperately try to save each other from raging Waikato River | Stuff.co.nz[^] I feel that the title of that article misrepresents the reality of what lead to the tragedy. A more appropriate title would be: "A group of narcissistic women continue to take selfies in a stream that is fed to by floodgates, in spite of floodgate opening times being posted, warning signs, and SIRENS BLARING; they were washed away to death by the raging waters from the scheduled opening of floodgates". Selfie with a closeup of raging floodwaters approaching in the background. Who wouldn't want that awesome one?! Umm, no.

        [Joke] There are a lot of idiots around the world, but I want to think that not so much to have a OTD (Of The Day) post about this topic... is it fine if we let it stay with OTW (Of The Week)? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: [/Joke] On the other hand... :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :omg: :omg: :omg: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :sigh: :sigh: :sigh: :sigh: :sigh: :sigh: :sigh: :sigh:

        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

          With as many people that die from their own stupidity, you could easily have a new Darwin Award winner every hour (assuming there is a news post about it).

            I'd subscribe to that RSS feed. But then I suppose after the first 24 hours it'd get tiresome.

              I find that watching people do idiotic things never really gets old and half of the content on YouTube would agree. Recently, I've been watching a lot of accident footage from Russian dash-cams. After watching about 50 or so videos I can say this, I will never get behind the wheel in Russia unless I'm driving an MRAP[^].
