Ryan Dunn and G4, or why I gave up

I quit. This has pushed me past the point of no return. I cannot believe that G4 is celebrating the life of Ryan Dunn with a tribute on Attack of the Show. The man killed himself and someone else while drunk driving. They should probably try and forget he ever existed; but no, they are making a tribute to him.

Remember Adolf Hitler? Do you remember what he did? You’re probably thinking that douche killed a lot of innocent Jews, and tried to take over the world. Which is true; but he also but he also turned a 30% unemployment rate around and saved the German economy. Most people don’t remember him for saving the economy; they remember the awful person he really was.

We can’t let Hollywood tell us that they are more important than the common man. It’s total crap that they can get away with DUIs, drug possession, charges, and all manner of other crimes that other people cannot. Maybe if one of Ryan Dunn’s several DUI charges had been more than a slap on the wrist, maybe the “star” would still be alive and the person he killed too.

Hollywood calls out corporations as being evil entities, but that’s the pot calling the kettle black. MGM employees got away with rape and murder. It is insane ho much power they have. They flaunt it. They manipulate the laws to ensure they will be released and will continue to make copious mounts of money.

If you killed someone because you were drunk driving like a fool, how would you be remembered? Would you be remembered fondly, or as an idiot? Let’s not celebrate his life. Let’s forget he ever existed. When someone asks who is Ryan Dunn, you can say, “a dolt who killed himself and another while drunk driving.”

You can argue Ryan Dunn was a great man, but great men don’t drive drunk.

Now that we see how Ryan Dunn died, we know who ‘s the real Jackass.

Out of curiousity, I wonder how many of you saying he made 'one dumb mistake' would be so forgiving if he has smashed that car into a minivan and killed mum, dad, and 3 kids?

He killed one person (whether they were drunk is irrelevant) through his actions, and only by luck did he not kill any more. His family and friends deserve your sympathy, but he deserves none whatsoever.

It wasn't just drunk driving, it was tantamount to manslaughter.

K, I don't know who Ryan Dunn is but if he killed someone while drunk driving, then fuck him

Hoped he fucked you too:) Bad;) If i may :O


drinking and driving is not cool, kids, no matter who you are.  there were people in my life who, if not for a drunk driver, would most likely still be in my life today.
 
Edit: so, yes--i was fucked, not by him, but by someone who might as well of been him. and it was bad.

G4 has never made any good progress ever since they changed their name from TechTV. Their information is balls, their game reviews are atrocious and their hosts are all morons. I agree with you that G4 made a dumb move to pay a tribute to Ryan Dunn, out of all the people they could've picked that recently passed away but having said that, death is always a sad thing so as moronic as he was, Ryan Dunn should at least have his moment for his family and friends to mourn him.

Well Dunn was one of the bigger named people from somewhere else to sign up with G4 recently only to die in a stupid drunk driving accident, can't blame G4 for wanting to do some kind of tribute/memoriam. Only reason I was watching that new show was for Jessica Chobot as not really a fan of Jackass so never watched any of it (as it was tempting Darwin awards every time it was taped, surprised that they all didn't die by now thanks to that stupid show).

Why should his life be put on a pedestal??? Is he more important? Would he mourn YOUR deaths? Why do you people care? Did you know him? , I’m not going to pretend I care more than I do. I think it’s unfair on all the good people who die and are left to be ignored and eventually forgotten whilst this man becomes immortalized in your memories.
And for what? Sticking a toy car into himself?  
I feel bad for his family and friends but this is a tad ridiculous, none of you have REAL reason to mourn for him.
you’re free to do what you want just  stop  acting all self righteous.

I kind of agree with the giant sensationalism around Ryan Dunn, but seriously? Comparing him to Hilter? Really? Dude. Go take a walk or something, you need to calm the fuck out.

PS: You're being an Adolf QUITLER over this. Not cool.

I don't think being a fan and being saddened by his death (not creepily depressed because of obsessiveness) is necessarily putting Dunn on a pedestal.  Non of us think he's a king but he certainly isn't Hitler.

On the point of him killing his passenger. I guarantee they were both drunk of their asses, and it could have been either one of them to end up driving. The passenger is no victim and is just as much at fault as Ryan Dunn was.

^^^^.

That, and if you ever liked Ryan Dunn while he was alive, your opinion shouldn't change based on how he died, because he drank and drove ALL THE TIME. If you ever heard Dunn on Radio Bam or seen any interview with him, he was a constant drinker. There are many videos of him wasted behind the wheel of a car. He died like he lived, drunk. And I'll miss him.

He made a mistake, people do that a lot while intoxicated.

I agree with this...

Oh, the fact you actually watch Attack of the Show just made me seriously wish there was an /ignore button....

@l4wd0g: Uggh this thread was a bad idea. I sort of agree with your point regarding the celebration/idolization of celebrities, but your criticism of G4 for celebrating him, or more specifically your criticism of Ryan Dunn himself, is in poor taste. Criticizing the way western society views and treats "stars" is cool but attacking a dead man's character isn't necessarily the way to go. It's unfortunate that his demons led to the loss of both his life and the loss of another, but he still (probably) brought some good to people's lives despite the bad decisions.
 
Your Hitler argument also doesn't hold much weight either; there's some very loose validity to what you're saying but Ryan Dunn's acts were the result of significant mistakes whereas Hitler led a malicious campaign that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of people (although "saving the economy" isn't much of an accomplishment to me, so perhaps I'm not the best person to comment on that).

And Michael Jackson probably slept with kids, but we don't talk about that in the immediate aftermath. Its just in good taste to wait at least a couple months so Bam doesn't take a machinegun to a mall or something after reading too many internet comments.

I'm pretty sure that mass genocide is an offense far greater than drinking and driving. Yes, drinking and driving is an idiotic and potentially thing to do, but that's all it is. Idiotic and potentially deadly. Genocide is a systematic, malicious effort to murder as many people as possible.

Just thought I'd point that out. You seemed confused.

To all of you making personal attacks on the OP; shut up. Maybe the guy is being a bit extreme, but that doesn't mean you can call him an asshole, or a cunt, or a douchebag, or anything like that. Act a little more mature. You're just making yourself look like a jackass.
 
The fact is that drinking and driving is more than a mistake. It puts the lives of innocent people at risk. Anybody who drinks alcohol should know better than to drive after binge drinking, let alone when your BAC is twice the legal limit. Ryan Dunn deserves to be remembered fondly, but he also deserves to die with the reputation that he killed an innocent person because of his stupidity.
