Hey guys just checking in with this epic thread, has anyone posted graphic pictures of everest corpses yet? I love to look at dead bodies because Im a normal, well-adjusted person.

If this is a joke it's not very funny. I suggest you re-evaluate your life because you will regret this post later, when you think better of it.

The difference is, that they made funny videos with yakety sax in them and photoshops, etc., instead of posting gory pictures of the casualties and writing huge manifestos about how they deserved to die because they were probably rich.

:nyoron:
so BASCICALLY this thread was around a few years and it got boring repeating "here we go again" and "we told you so" whenever some underprepared rich person died on everest

so they started making morbid jokes about it, which evolved this year into a "tongue-in-cheek" death pool

then there was a big earthquake and a lot of people died, which seems to put the whole thing in a bad light

after a few misplaced offers of regret, the valiant heroes of The Something's AWful Forums attempted to defend what is basically a nihilistic lust for snuff footage on the grounds of "sarcasm" and "humor"

meanwhile there's a big disaster still happening in nepal, but this isnt really about that, is it? it's never actually about what the thread claims to be about, it's about schadenfreude and therapy

Mostly because some goons have a boner against "rich white people" for reasons.

I've put my money where my mouth is and contributed to the relief effort and gotten a company match. It won't be enough but every bit helps. Makes up a little for being involved in the death pool at least.

All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.

quote:

Important Update 12:47 UTC : We try to keep you informed about the areas outside Kathmandu, but except for the Everest area where International climbers are active there is almost NO NEWS to gather. We are really ashamed about this but this is live as it is in 2015. Additionally cruel in this case is that the hardest hit Gorkha-Lamjung epicenter area has only been visited by helicopter this morning. We have however NO news from this area. At least hundreds are feared dead in this mountainous area of Nepal.

So, figures will get a lot, lot worse as international efforts try to make headway to visit remote villages. The lack of communication is probably why all the sherpas immediately ditched to make it back to their home villages.

Green boots was in a cave, so hopefully he is safe from any avalanches. He may be buried, however, meaning he'll never see the light of day again for a few decades until global warming melts him. :rip:

If you want to talk about the disaster in Nepal, then go find a thread that's talking about the disaster in Nepal. This thread is specifically about talking about the people on Everest and their success and failures, which yes, involves talking about people who died. So the discussion in this thread hasn't changed, the focus is still on those climbing Everest this year.
