That may be true, but if the kid hadn't died, that's the kind of story you can get laid with for the rest of your life:
"Oh, this little scar? That's from when I got mauled by a motherfucking tiger."
Something was really bugging me about this comment, but I couldn't figure out what...
...and then I realized: it's absolutely true, that's what.

I don't know ... I think there are a few songs I love that, if they caused me to get sick, I would be seriously depressed that I'd be advised never get to listen to them again ... like something on my Violator or Joshua Tree albums, something like that.
Having a valid reason to tell people to turn off U2? Sounds like it would be a blessing to me.

taunting?
Toxicology reports plus admissions by one of the survivors all point to them being drunk high tiger-taunting fuckups.

Sure if the scar is on your pecker and you have a big one but at that point it's sort of in the bag anyway. No intelligent woman is going to take random barguys word for a scar. Oh. Right.
If the scar were there then nobody in thier right mind would mess with you. See that guy? Fought a tiger with his penis. He'll kill you with it if he has to.

The original post completely misrepresents the story of Stacey Gayle's Sean Paul-related seizures. The (
http://news.wired.com/dynamic/stories/M/MUSIC_EPILEPSY?SITE=WIRE&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2008-01-17-22-50-55) real story is as follows:
Quote Posted by article
Gayle, a 25-year-old customer service employee at a bank in Alberta, Canada, was suffering as many as 10 grand mal seizures a day, despite being treated with medications designed to control them. The condition became so bad she eventually had to quit her job and leave the church choir where she sang.
Eighteen months ago, she began to suspect that music by reggae and hip-hop artist Sean Paul was triggering some of her seizures. She recalled being at a barbecue and collapsing when the Jamaican rapper's music started playing, and then remembered having a previous seizure when she heard his music.
Her suspicions were confirmed on a visit to the Long Island medical center last February, when she played Paul's hit "Temperature" on her iPod for doctors. Soon after, she suffered three seizures.
well geez how dumb can this broad be :mad:

Oh man, if that is what is considered dumb these days then I've met many, many super-dumbos. The number of people I've met who hurt themselves or just wreck their own health from doing things that it's just common sense not to do never ceases to amaze me. The crazy shit I've seen and stories I've heard...

Dissing on U2 just makes you sound like Vivian. I'm not crazy about the band but to ignore their strengths and accomplishments speaks more about you than them.

Well for the record, I didn't say that album had to be a priceless treasure for everyone. I meant most everybody has some album that's important to them. That just happens to be one of mine, and even then as much for sentimental reasons as its objective value.
You can't tell me there isn't some album that doesn't have to be the best in the world but it struck a chord in you just at that time in your life...
Also, probably goes without saying, U2 was on the top of their game in the earlier years and isn't the same band now that it was then. I wouldn't say this about anything after the 90s.
I also could have just said Hiromi's Spiral, but who knows what the hell that is...
