Teen Takes His Last Selfie Ever

Looks like this was clearly a case of...
*puts on sunglasses*
One hand not knowing what the other was doing.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I did lol.

What happened to the days of respect for firearm safety starting at a young age? The whole age excuse here is invalid. I dislike how they try and make it all scientific blaming his "underdeveloped pre-frontal cortex"

He was 19 years old. I had sound enough judgement at that age not to do dumb shit like that. Kids used to shoot .22's for sport at much younger ages than that back in the 70's, my dad was one of them. Prefrontal cortex my ass.

Thank you. The information I have heard is incorrect.

To be fair its an entirely fictional concept. Like anybody actually cares about real Darwin awards vs the saying. They think they are being clever. It was clever like 20 years ago. Its like the most overplayed meme, set with geo cities website circa 1990's.

Just look at that website man.

They're milking that thing for lazy views harder than drudge report.

I've been wondering about this song for years. One of those ones where I'd remember bits and pieces, but not enough to help find it. Sweet.

That's a good explanation for making stupid life decisions, like having talent for a STEM field, but taking a low-value liberal arts path, staying with the obviously-crazy SO that everyone else tells you is bad for you, getting into debt you can't repay as a young adult, etc., not anything short-term and simple like this.

I wonder whether drugs were involved.
We can assume that lots of parents don't know when their kids are high on [insert whatever drug here].

Not sure why this is so hard to understand. If you have surviving offspring, you can't qualify for a Darwin Award.

[edit]
This is incorrect.

I do feel that having reproduced violates the spirit of the award.
