Pretty much , the dandy’s fault. His producer pushed the kid to be “bold”. I’d sue the crap out of that fop.

I’m sure the last chapter of “idiotic self destructive dipshit things people do for 15 minutes of ‘fame’” has not been written.

Sad, very sad.

Are there any old and bold skaters around?

Not an Anderson Cooper fan at all, but he can’t be blamed, in my opinion.

Accidents do happen, and the kid should have known the risks.

My 2 cents.

“Anderson Cooper ‘distraught’ after teen falls into coma”

He oughta be distraught...he caused it.

It is amazing any of us made it of of teenage-dom.

And, FWIIW, the ida of “teen” as a separate phase of life is a post-20th century, post industrial concept. Prior to very recently, one went from a child to an adult: family, work, responsibility were expected once one went from short pants to long pants.

Of course, today, one can be a “teen” until one is well into one’s 70s or 80s. Why grow up when mama gummit is there to wipe your nose and butt for your entire (pathetic for the accepting) life?

I hope this kid ends up OK and, upon recovery, grows up fast and disavows the stupidity of childhood.

Better headline. Probably better content:

http://news.bostonherald.com/track/star_tracks/view/20111003report_teen_in_coma_after_falling_while_filming_himself_for_anderson_cooper_show/srvc=home&position=recent

Try not to post the extreme left like NYDN if you can avoid it.

Just search google news and there will usually be a better source than NYDN, MSNBC, etc

I’m guessing Anderson’s usually distraught when the teen falls into counseling.

Open your eyes Andrew. It’s the disconnect in society of treating people as if they are not human that causes things like this.

I was driving home today and while stopped at a light, I saw a boy, maybe 10 - 12 yrs old, running on a grasscovered slope in front of a library, and then flipping himelf into a half roll, landing on his shoulders and neck, right next to a stone wall and a 2 foot drop off. I thought that if he landed wrong he could break his neck. Then I saw him get up and walk back to where he had started and I noticed him gesturing to a friend who looked to be filming it with a cell phone camera. he did the stunt again but landed badly, rolling off the wall and onto the asphalt walkway, and kind of limped over to his friend. The light changed, and I drove off. I wondered if they continued “filming”. Give kids cell phones with movie camera capability, and stuff like this will happen.

I think the family should sue. Not necessarily because I think Cooper is wrong but it’s just the sort of thing CNN would encourage.

That sniveling little homo pervert AC should be crying his little eyes out. . . . Oh, there there Andie, put a teabag on it. That will reduce the swelling. You know. Just like Michael showed you.

Distraught he may have caused the kid’s death or distraught he may be on the hook for millions in damages? I say the latter. Liberals don’t have souls... well, they certainly don’t believe in God so they may as well kiss whatever soul they had goodbye.

Sorry for the kid, but think of the damage caused by encouraging people to vote Democrat.

If you can blame, and convict, a bully for a kid’s suicide...why not Cooper for this? They both pushed.
