Apparently they were airing a car chase and the guy got out of the car and domed himself and they showed the whole thing on live tv.
in other news, experienced control room director looking for work, will travel.

What's the FCC fine for that? I'm kind of surprised the 7-second delay rule for live TV doesn't cover news.

they were on a delay, according to the anchor. someone didn't switch over fast enough. i doubt they'll get a fine. crap happens.

I have mask-like PTSD now :frown:

I want to flip over to Fox News to see how they are handling it, but I'm 10 minutes behind on this Law & Order and want to see who killed the real estate developer's estranged son.

GET OFF IT!!!

Whats the point of the delay if they don't follow through with cutting it and don't get fined? I'm shocked to hear myself say this, but I just don't think they're doing a very good job over there at Fox

I thought only Marilyn Manson had this self-doming capability........appears I was wrong

If it bleeds it leads. Or in the case of Fox if its a completely innocuous car chase in Phoenix with little to no informational value then by all means cut away from your national broadcast to cover it.
-
Did the guy shoot himself or what happened?

:flush:
If there is a high speed car chase on any news channel I will stop and watch that crap for as long as it takes until resolution. Love car chases. Do not love seeing people kill themselves. I also love dogs.
-
Did the guy shoot himself or what happened?
Yeah, he ran into a field, stopped, spent about 3 seconds pulling out the gun and putting it to his head, then falls over. No detail or anything, you just see his arm go to his head, then he falls over. It was filmed from a helicopter.
With the 7 second delay, they had about 10 seconds to cut away and failing, including 4 seconds of the host saying loudly "get off it". It was a split screen thing.
-
This is why I think cops should be more aggressive in police chases. This whole stay back at a safe distance bullshit is gonna lead to more tragic suicides. Now, if Riggs and Murtaugh were the cops, this guy would have gone out in a more dignified way like shooting out the tires and the car somersaults off a ravine or a hail of gunfire involving hostages. Probably catch phrases are said and some sweet sax riffs. That's the way this SHOULD have ended. Anyways, thoughts go out to the family of the dead.

Rarely do 24 hour news networks have anything more informative on their regular broadcasts

Yeah it's not graphic or anything, but if you saw it live you'd be like :sdeek:
But I don't feel bad for someone who clicked on a video of a guy killing himself and is disturbed by a man killing himself (sorry SD)

your grasp of relevant portions of things is truly mind boggling in its poorness

I didn't click the link. I watched the video of the pennsylvania politician that offed himself at a freaking news conference in the 80's and it rough ridin' scarred my brain.

This has been discussed here before, but does "Hey Man, Nice Shot" give you flashbacks?

Was literally about to watch the documentary about that. Does it show him off himself or did you see it somewhere else?
-
Yea, it was mentioned in the Wikipedia thread I think. I killed a half an hour looking into all of that.

I saw it a few years ago on the internets. haven't seen the documentary.

Even I have limits FWIW - have not watched those Al Qaeda be-heading videos.

My friend's band wrote a song dedicated to Bud, called "Our Bud." It's a happy song about Bud being their bud and that he'd be your bud too.
-
i clicked the link fully expecting to close it quickly. i didn't. the video was pretty far away. idk. i guess when you watch "faces of death" as a ninth grader you are pretty scared for life. didn't think it was that bad. but yeah, if you saw that without knowing you were going to see it then that's pretty messed up and all in all is not something that i really want to watch again.
-
old people watching foxnews would not have been happy
I'm sure they would be soothed with Shep saying "welp, we have some splain' to do".

Pretty sure "Nice Shot" was written about him. Guess sometimes people have similar ideas, huh?
-
Guy just saved the taxpayers thousands. More similar minded criminal fucks should do the same. Would watch.
-
I remember seeing the LA bank robbers that had like the whole police force under fire get killed on a heli cam like that.

FCC indecency standards also apply to cable television, their regulations are slightly different, but they have regulations.

there is no way that you could be more wrong about that.

You guys just cruise the Internet for videos of people shooting themselves? :(

i guess some of us just don't close our eyes during the "scary parts" of nightmare on elm street, sd. sorry bro :(

Fine...they can show ALMOST anything. Christ almighty.

Call me crazy, but I think there is a difference between a movie and knowing you are actually seeing someone's life end.

meh. everybody dies eventually.

yikes, makes me sick to my stomach

All I can say is sometimes you are watching funny videos online and in sneaks a video of a man getting electrocuted to death. nbd. It happens.

live would suck for the shock factor. The producer or whoever is horrible at their job. but Seeing it on youtube isn't as bad for me personally. I've watched worse, unfortunately.
-
Didn't see it, won't watch it.
