RIP Ryan Dunn

RIP to Ryan Dunn. Ryan died in a car crash a couple of days ago. Soon after he died, the usual morality police were wagging their fingers about his naughty behavior. It is somewhat embarrassing seeing gown men talking like old schoolmarms.  Disclaimer  - I am not advocating drunk driving.  But somewhere in our fear of EVERYTHING we have become a people that ends up having our six year old children being felt up at the airport.  An old heretical article: http://www.heretical.com/miscella/reptile.html The picture a few hours before the crash Looks like he has a BEER (gasp!) in his hand (Reuters) - Film critic Roger Ebert on Tuesday defended an admonition against drunk driving he posted on Twitter in response to the death of "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn, who was photographed drinking before his car crash. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/21/us-rogerebert-idUSTRE75K71H20110621
