Strike That. No Reverse It. What She Said. (cont'd from Aug 6)

OK strike that...Nick Starr is NOT dead? My apologies.

Excellent news; however, if this is a ploy to get a page spike I am going to be seriously pissed. Starr apparently called the Dawn and Drew Show to let them know he is alive and getting help.

Metafilter is abuzz with commenters both angry and sympathetic. One commenter even went so far as to suggest this was a completely planned fake suicide attempt, then drawing attention to the fact that Youtube has over 2000 videos tagged with "fake suicide". Another brought attention to the story of Blair Newman, a Sausalito man who took his own life both virtually and then physically in 1990.

So my problem now is, there are over 100 comments and posts on Nick Starr's attempted suicide from the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa, and only one post telling us that he tried to kill himself - his own.

Screw this. If this keeps up I'm going to go back to writing about acquisitions. I'm old...like I remember a time before the internet old...and user-generated is really making me exhausted.
