I don't feel sorry for them.

how many people a year die in boat-related accidents? and all the sudden, I can't listen to sports talk radio without them bringing up this shit? like "superstardom" makes them that much more important? and I never even heard of these guys before they set sail on the failboat (pun intended)

oh, here's an idea: check the weather before you go 30+ miles out to sea

Didn't you get the memo? Famous people are better that the rest of us. This ain't the United States of America....its more like the United Cult of America with the TV as the head of state.

I am going to rehash and re-mold an old saying by a hag commie,

"It takes teleprompter to raise a village of morons!"

I've heard some news about this and not annoyed about it.

True that many people die in boating accidents but it's a sad story nonetheless. Imagine having 3 of your friends (some childhood friends) clinging onto a capsized boat and they are slowly swept away by the sea one by one. I'm not sure if I can live with that.

again, they should have done a simple thing like checking the weather.

chalk up another one to the darwin awards.

If my friend is that stupid, then too bad!!! I'm tired of having to feel sorry for or "imagine if it was you" people who keep making dumb mistake.

^ Harsh but true. It would be interesting to know how many people die in boat accidents a year, because this is one of the very very few (if any) i've heard lately.

30 miles off shore in a 21 foot SINGLE engine boat is not smart. Not smart at all. Thats not much bigger that the ski boat I put put around the tiny lakes around here in.

I went to the beach yesterday. I looked for them. Didn't see them. I went and got a beer. Do I get to make the news?
