17 year old dies in bathtub...from having laptop there so they could Twitter.

I often use my laptop in the tub, while I blowdry my hair.

Seriously thou, I hope when my time comes, I don't die naked!

The truly sad thing about all this is that with the loss of this complete waste of genetic material, there are 10 more equally, if not more, morons to take it's place.

Twitter = eStalking

"I'm getting ready to take the bus to [insert destination here]."

"I'm about to sit down with my family and eat [dinner of choice]."

"I'm at home, at [insert address here]."

Of course, there's the all-time favorite, at least my personal preference:

"I'm taking a [#1 or #2] right now!"

(they actually refer to those who provide that last update as "Shitters," which is disgusting, in that it happens so often it's a Site-specific subculture with its own freakin' name).

Seriously?? That is just disgusting!

I'm very much torn, with regards to said "child," between "Darwin Award-worthy, natural selection at its best" and "societal/parental uber-fail."

I wish I could disagree with you.

What have we come to... I would think the average teenager could thing much more entertaining/less dangerous things to do in a shower. Whatever happened to good old greasin' the weasel?

I smell a Darwin Award....

I smell a Darwin Award....

Indeed. If you're so keen on spilling your uninteresting life all over the internet while you're in a bathtub, use a friggin cellphone with an internet connection.

Oh, for cryin' out loud! This is why the "personality masturbation" that is social networking pisses me off at times. Do people REALLY need to know every little detail of your existence all the way down to bathing? Social Darwinism at work, here.

Twitter will be the downfall of civilization.

I just laughed. She is probably in a better place than we are now.

I wonder what the last thing she posted was.

I wonder what the last thing she posted was.

[Sandrock74]

I wonder what the last thing she posted was.

I feel bad for her family.

What could she possibly have been tweeting?

"I'm in the tub."

She couldn't have just typed that on the bathroom counter 3 seconds before actually bathing?
