So, out of pure honest curiousity (and this should be not be taken as an attempt to "win" whatever this "argument" is, because the argument as it stands is pretty much over as far as I can see) if he had, say, been hit by a drunk driver and knocked off his bike, and died from not wearing a helmet, is that still funny? If so, less funny and more tragic? I guess what I'm asking is would Price is Right fail horns still be involved?
I am asking out of curiousity and interest in how the human psyche works. You don't need to just kneejerk a "yes, it's still just as funny" answer to remain consistent. I won't take a "no, that's different" as an admission that I have the superior stance, or anything else of the sort, here. I just like modifying circumstances slightly to see if it invokes different reactions. I do this all the time with my friends in real life because I am a philosophy/human psyche fag.
