"We're deeply saddened by the passing of a member of the MTV family, Ryan Dunn. Our hearts and thoughts are with his friends and family."

This worthless POS will get more media coverage than the plethora of fallen military members who come home in boxes every day.

The only better road in the Philly area for maximum butt pucker is Lincoln Drive, between Huntington and the River Drives.

they look like 3 smart fellas. sheesh, what a shame... the world lost a great talent yesterday. (/not).
I don’t know which one it is in the picture never saw Jackass..
I do want to say RIP Ryan even thought I don’t know you. Bless your family and my prayers go out to them all..
Given that this clown made a name for himself by shoving a toy car up his arse - yeah, I'd say that life really did imitate "art" in this case.
Amen.
Photos of the car look like it just flattened into a little piece of metal. Very high speed accident.
The over/under is .29
This is a “Don’t drink and drive” commercial waiting to be maid.
MTV “hearts and thoughts” but perish the thought (can’t say “God forbid”) they offer their prayers.
Never saw the show or heard of this star, but it’s got to be very tough for the family to lose someone so young.
You’ve had a tough day when they need to ID you by your tattoos.
"My men don't drink and drive!"
The Jackass golf youtube was funny.
