>>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.
Which one of them motivated the other to do it?
Good grief .
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.
Are they certin it was a suicide?
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.
Lithium might have helped if they hadn’t stopped taking it.
Suffocate yourself? Jeeezzz, why not just do it with a chainsaw?
Does this mean their apartment is available? That’s some prime real estate near Prospect Park.
I’m going to start watching the trash bag area in my supermarket. Especially those puncture proof, stretch types. If you pass out does the bag remain airtight? I need Monty Pyton to help me understand.
I see so many people posting ‘feel good’ rubbish on facebook and it is not consigned to just women. Most of it is just mushy nonsense some of it is damaging psych-babble and yet their lives and marriages seem to be in a downward spiral.
Some of the stuff they post is excusing their bad or selfish behavior. Quoting motivational speakers seems to be somewhat of a new religion. I tried to pick a fight with one of these motivational speakers on some of the things he had said. My statement took him to task and totally disagreed with what he had said. His reply Yes Mel and.... he went on with his self help BS totally ignoring all I had said. I think most of them are con men out to sell a few books.
Mel
Or they could have been in deep depression after reading the inspirational books of Clinton and Obama!!!
I guess they didn’t help themselves effectively enough.
Sounds to me like they pissed off the wrong Psycopath. There are a whole lot easier ways to die than suffocation. Dont know of a single person who would not take the bag off of their head or tear a hole in it if their hands were free.
Next, I suppose people will argue that this tragedy says nothing at all about the self-help industry (and an “industry” it is!) Isolated instance.
Following Peter Singer’s advise?
RIP RIP
Sometimes it’s a burden carrying the weight of others’ problems.
