Boys who cry wolf make it hard for anyone to be taken seriously.  It wasn't that long ago that Abraham Biggs Jr. did so on webcam and no one took him seriously, some viewers even egging him on.  Of course, he really went through with it, which is probably a contributing factor to why the police were called this time.  Faking death isn't a funny prank under any circumstances.  It's selfish and thoughtless.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ches]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 24th 2009 8:12AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</guid><description><![CDATA[idiot !]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jbjg24m]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 24th 2009 8:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</guid><description><![CDATA[To bad leaving spam in the comment section isn't a criminal offence.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ycav4424]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 24th 2009 8:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</guid><description><![CDATA[The teens of the last couple of generations seem to be the most useless wastes of human protoplasm EVER. The spoiled, lazy, "plugged in" little bastards seem to have no other ambition than to be a pain in the ass to society, or to ponder what to pierce next. They drop out of school in droves, usually coddled by their brain-dead parents who usually wind up feeding and housing their evil spawn until they're AT LEAST 30. The future of America? It should scare the sh*t out of every responsible, contributing, citizen.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 24th 2009 9:47AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</guid><description><![CDATA[In my 5th grade science book was a picture of a rat with electric stimulators connected to the pleasure centers of the brain. The caption stated that the rat would decline food, water, and sex for electric stimulation of the brain.<br>I see no difference between the rat and a kid with a GPS, Ipod, Sat Radio, cell phone, etc. They're just doing the same thing as the rat and it is an addiction, just like opium or meth.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[amoozed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 24th 2009 12:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</guid><description><![CDATA[dave, these last generations are the smartest and most capable of any generation. For one, more information is taught in schools. Science is more factual, math goes to higher levels due to calculators and better teachers, children are being taught how to not get pregnant or contract an STD. did you ever learn that in school? also, tolerance for different religions, races, and sexes. <br><br>ipods and cellphones aren't the downfall of humanity, they give it a wider range of knowledge and connection. nobody is listening to one, all powerful band like the beatles. there is a range of small artists that can be heard by fans worldwide, regardless of genre. cellphones save lives, connect people, and give information. needless to say i have a great smartphone, would starve for it? no. the best part is the future generations will be better than the present.....so suck it. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[erin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 24th 2009 1:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm a teen, yet I agree with you Dave the society I'm growing up in is a load of shi** but you cant just blame it on us sometimes its the way we were raised. Some of us turn to the streets because we never got the attention we needed from our parents and others were laft with no choice. But I agree with you because we are old enough now to have ENOUGH common sense to aviod this yet we think its cool to be in a gang or treat people like sh** but it reality its not...and we ALL feel bad about it...me I was raised pretty isolated as a child and I depended a lot on my siblings and parents. My parents didnt allow me to go out with other kids and back then I felt like I was a prisoner and said some harsh things to my mom like "WHAT AM I YOUR PRISONER!?" and I feel bad for saying those things because now I'm glad my parents raised me that way...because well I'm not turning into garbage like most people :D <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gaaralove345]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 25th 2009 10:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</guid><description><![CDATA[EXCUSE ME. <br>yeah im 15 years old & to say every kid is like that is just plain ignorance. <br>I'm sorry that i am growing up in an age where there is an abundance of new technology & that i use things like computers & mp3's & cellphones. What are you using right now? to say that im a "plugg-in" while your sitting at a computer desk is just hypocricy. Maybe next time you'll think about not labeling all kids the same.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[m8e8l8i8s8s8a]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 25th 2009 1:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</guid><description><![CDATA[Dave, To Type What You Did Is Pure Ignorance, Not To Mention Hypocrisy.<br>I Just Turned 18, I Am A High School GRADUATE, And Yeah, I'm "Plugged-In."<br>And There's Nothing Wrong With That At All.

Anyone willing to fake his suicide on the net. Should be comitted to a psych faility for a period of time. What is wrong with teens of today?  Suicide is increasing. Is it due to stress, low self-esteem, or critical peers?  Maybe schools need to teach more about depression and signs of suicide. suicide is not the answer your life may change tomorrow.  If you take your own life you can't get it back. You get only one shot at life do your best to enjoy it. Seek out professional help if you are thinking about suicide.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[brdgingersoll]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 24th 2009 12:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</guid><description><![CDATA[ok, this is a realled f'd up thing to to. i lost my sister to suicide almost 11 years ago, and my best friend to suicide almost 5 months ago. anyone who seriously thinks that something like this is funny is nothing but a lowlife who needs a SERIOUS crash course on humanity]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[breakitdown1990]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 24th 2009 1:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</guid><description><![CDATA[and i meant to say really, not realled]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[breakitdown1990]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 24th 2009 1:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think he should get the death penalty.

Security guards who hate kids and will falsely accuse students, asst. principles who won't listen to students, teachers, or parents..  <br><br><br>There are schools that have a day set aside for gays, you pay for a badge, and on that day you wear it and can't talk.  You are excused from answering any questions in class..  <br><br><br>I know of a school that cut back it's hrs. so kids have one less class a day.  <br><br><br>We have a lot of young people dying in this area due to traffic accidents.  Their choices are movies, bowling, or gathering in parking lots talking.  Police chase them out of parking lots..   Pregnancies for kids are way up.  Under age drinking is out of control..  Parents force their kids into sports, see a lot of kids with broken bones around here..  <br><br>Kids need things to do so they have found a new one.  Look at the news, Balloon <br>boy,  look at the programs on tv and movies put out, sex and violence everywhere.  What do we expect from kids, their idols are trash.,  really good rule models for our children.  News telling kids if they are poor they don't learn as well as other kids.  Politicans becoming rich off the tax payers..  That teaches kids that being dishonest rewards you.  Illegals in our country, what part of illegal doesn't Washington understand?  Ballots written in Spanish, I don';t understand that..  Yet, our military fighting over seas didn't get to vote because their ballots didn't get here in time.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nana7]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 25th 2009 12:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</guid><description><![CDATA[As I expect a lot of criticism for what I'm about to write, this is a result on how the human race is fixated on reality tv.  If people were more focused on their own lives, there wouldn't be enough of an audience to witness someone's faked suicide.  SERVES US WELL.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[HAZLIZ69]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 25th 2009 12:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/23/teen-charged-for-ketchup-soaked-suicide-prank-video/</guid><description><![CDATA[A prank is a prank...where is everyone's sense of humour today?

We ALL need to learn some respect for life and respect for each other, irregardless of what generation we're from or how much technology we have. This message board is as much evidence of that as this <br>acticle.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Silence]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 25th 2009 4:22PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
