Horrible crash at Las Vegas this afternoon and we lost Dan Wheldon. The drivers will do a 5 lap tribute salute at the track very soon. Condolences to his family.

I wish people would stop making threads for every z list celebrity that dies, it's really not necessary.

He was one of the top drivers in the Indy Car series, not a celebrity.

My point was that nobody would have heard of him, therefore posting this thread would be completely pointless, since it'll just be full of "Who?" quoted pyramids.

The first sentence of the link explains exactly who Dan was, but apparently I should not have expected reading comprehension in this forum.

At first glance I thought it said "RIP Joss Whedon." Guess I'm a callous nerd.

Not a clue what that was all about, but the videos are highly relevant to this thread and people can choose not to play them.

the car crashes in your gifs were catastrophic, there was no doubt people died in them. What was worse was you were getting off on them.

Ban deserved.

Not really...

And since we know a guy died in this it's catastrophic too...

yes really...i remember it well.

clear distinction here is...people (mostly) are paying respects and not wanking off over dead lifeless corpses flung from a barreling vehicle.
