>>A Brooklyn couple famous for hosting a self-help radio show committed suicide by suffocating themselves with plastic bags in Park Slope, police sources and witnesses said.<<

The irony is so massive it might change the rotation of the Earth...

Jeez, there are a million jokes there if it weren’t so tragic.

[a fool in paradise]

Which one of them motivated the other to do it?

[katykelly]

Good grief .

[pabianice]

Bullshit. No one suffocating this way can stop the impulse to rip-off the bags. People suffocating will rip one another to bloody chunks to get air.

WBAI= hideous, left wing, America hating radio station.

[Lizavetta]

Which one of them motivated the other to do it?

I have a feeling they achieved consensus.

[funfan]

Are they certin it was a suicide?

[cicero2k]

I presume they were childless.

Like a comedian said, if you’re married and don’t have children in the house; you are really just dating.

It’s a different dynamic.

[arderkrag]

I think you mean, "there are a million jokes."

;)

[livius]

No kidding. Feeling the lurch.

Still, being a Christian I do pray for them. But I think a lot of people could start saving money by not buying self-help books now...

[Vendome]

Lithium might have helped if they hadn’t stopped taking it.

Bullshit, it is a common technique to commit suicide. You connect a canister of inert gas, like helium or nitrogen to allow you to peacefully slip away without having the panic associated with typical suffocation. Google "exit bags". Before calling bullshit, it's best to do your due diligence.

[NELSON111]

Yep. I would never ever do this but an exit bag would be my mode of exit.

[jeffc]

Suffocate yourself? Jeeezzz, why not just do it with a chainsaw?

[jeffc]

I’m with you. Very suspicious “suicide”.

[loungitude]

I’ll go with group-think on this one.

They’ll find massive amounts of sedatives in their blood in a few days. That’s how it’s done. The sedatives and the plastic bag; doubly certain.

[beagleone]

Does this mean their apartment is available? That’s some prime real estate near Prospect Park.
