HORRIBLE! watch someone die ONLINE!

Check OUT what some people will do for some Publicity!

An American magician claims he will broadcast a person dying online next week.
Self-proclaimed "Master Magician and Paranormalist" Jim Callahan is urging surfers to log onto his site on March 27 to watch the free "Dying Cam" event - part of a freaky Carnival of Wonders series.
No details are available as to who this soon-to-be departed person is, how or where they will die, or why they would want to meet their maker in front of a bunch of gawping strangers. But what is clear is Callahan's motivation - publicity.
"Log on here and watch a person dying live on your computer," his site beckons. "Witness for yourself the most outrageous promotion of a entertainer (sic) ever!"

But not everyone shares Callahan's enthusiasm. Last week the cyber-sorcerer was forced to remove the site's bulletin board when "religious zealots" started repeatedly posting messages on it.

"What they don't realize is that this is just the beginning," Callahan says. "I am making a statement with this presentation. If people don't like it they don't have to log on but they will regret it later. They will be missing an event."

The virtual death will be broadcast as "The Edge Exhibit" on http://www.Jimclass.com

What's the big deal? Turn on the t.v. and you can see someone get blown away every minute. I'm with 7, that sounds much more entertaining.

A friend of mines from California saw someone blow their own brains out on live tv a few years back.
I doubt this magician will show someone really dying...
Nowadays its so easy to pull of special effects and camera illusions. Don't forget this will be broadcasted over the internet so of course that means that they will have to use a crappy video format.
Everyone knows that you can do a lot with "crappy video"

Technically I could turn on my webcam and you all could tune in and watch me drink a beer.
You WOULD be watching someone dying.
Eveyone is dying. I'm sure it's just a publicity stunt that will be some type of joke to prove the power of the net.
I don't believe it.

Anyway, go look int he mirror.......That person is dying too.
What would you rather be doing with your time than wasting it on this type of crap?
