you know, a few months ago i was just kind of irritated by this channel's popularity, but i'm now starting to feel a twinge of empathy for the guy. now, let me tell you this: it's a feat for me to feel empathy for a guy with this kind of wealth. but i'm going to avoid the cliche about money not buying happiness. it's kind of not really the point. it's more like i'm starting to wonder if he fits the profile of every famous twenty-something that's killed themselves since 1970.

dude, listen: the key is to fake your death. then come back as the dread pirate roberts. your fan base is too young to get that.

but, seriously. ouch. there's some kind of hybrid experiment on cyber-bullying and reactionary anti-meanstream pretension going on here. and i don't think anybody deserves to be the target of it.
