Okay... "Live and Let Live" and all that crap... but What THE Fuck?

I caught a snippet of this story the other day about a band from St. Petersburg called Hell on Earth that was planning on performing a suicide of a teminally-ill person live onstage - and luckily was able to track down a little more about it... and the St. Pete city council's response of passing a law making "suicide for entertainment" illegal (that sounds ridiculous to even say, much less "perform," or whatever the hell you wanna call it)... The venue then immediately cancelled the show, and reportedly, other venues turned the band away, as well... The band states on their website that the suicide will go on, as scheduled, in an unknown location within the city limits, and will be broadcast live on the band's website this Saturday (October 4)...
After roaming around their website, I am pretty much convinced that these guys are pretty low on the talent scale and pretty high on just trying to be "shock 'n' roll..." or "schlock 'n' roll," too... douchebags with guitars... yay...
The teminally-ill person in question has publicly thanked the band for the "...opportunity to end his life with dignity..." ... ... ummmm... okay... whatever, jackass...

Listening to: "The Very Best of War" (2003)
