You guys need to think more forward.
Would you all say "it's hilarious, or it made your day and how you loved it", if it would turn out that the guy thrown off the bridge, had a metal stick go through his head??? killing him instantly?
People like those, who attack violently as in the video, often end up in jale for the rest of the life, or meet the death penalty...
I don't see ANYTHING intertaining in this clip, other than evidences for police charge!

There are certain limits...
Some people considered gladiators fights funny. (when someone was torn apart....)
How many time do you hear a story when people are laughing untill something happens and they freez with their mothes open?
Jokes go too far. Or teenagers blowing a person from around the corner... will laugh histerically, while on drugs...
Funny?
If I was a cop, the guy that attacked a cyclist and threw him off the bridge would be arrested...

Besides, you all judge so quickly...
Why can't we imagine, that half a mile before, the first cyclist hit the one that was thrown, which made him fall in the dust and scratch his arms, now that he united all his powers and caught up with the offender, some "crazy" guy gets involved... and you all applaud on how funny and halarioud he fell off the bridge...
People are so hungry for entertainment that this hunger often goes beyond the adequate!

Sometimes you can just find humour in things. As long as the person wasn't hurt (I assume he wasn't as it looked deep and a 20 ft fall to water isn't that bad) that was funny. If something similar had happened to me I would have bust a gutt. No biggy. You may not like it, thats cool. But damn I still watch it and bust a gut :)
Besides it does look like a funniest home video kind of setup. :D...

You don't need to create a ficticious story to try and illustrate a shaky point every time. This is not the first time you have come up with a fanciful story describing what may have happened.
By your reasoning we should not smile and think that a boy scout is doing a wonderful thing if we see a video of him helping an old lady across the street because seconds later he may have taken her down a dark alley, beat her senseless and stolen her money. (Now I'm making up fanciful stories.)
Just take the video for what it is. A short funny piece that the guy himself probably shows to all his friends.
Lighten up. There's enough serious issues in this world to worry about without turning everything into something that it clearly isn't.

Must have been a real good one. This is what you get if you try to view it now:
"The Web page or file that you requested is temporarily unavailable. It has been so popular this month that it exceeded its free monthly traffic allotment. Access to this Web site will be restored on the first of next month. Please come back then."
Guess the rest of us will have to wait 'til August for this chuckle!

If person only sees what's in front of him, and can't think any further, it's almost like an animal - no imagination. When people "realize" the presence of magnetic force that they COULD NOT see, they used to start imagining spirits or devils powers...
" What separates me from other people, is that when most people find a needle in the Haystack, they stop, but I keep looking and often find two, three, sometimes four more needles..."

You don't need to create a ficticious story to try and illustrate a shaky point every time.
Why not? This is how most writers illustrate things that don't get much attention with a plain view.
This is not the first time you have come up with a fanciful story describing what may have happened.
That's right, you are very attentive to my posts. Thank you ;)

Not at all. But I say that it is not wise to laugh and make fun of situation of violence. As was illustrated before, people forget the edge, they don't realize what it is to be the person which fun is made of, because they are not on his (her) place, and MOST of them don't have this imagination, ability to put yourself "in someone's shoes".
Just take the video for what it is. A short funny piece that the guy himself probably shows to all his friends.
I can't take it for what it is, neither can you, as we don't know what it is. We do n't know what really happened before and after the little piece we saw. If you want to limit yourself to this funny "unexpected episode", you can as well look at suiciders falling of the building and smacking on asphalt... Funny, huh?
Lighten up.
I don't understand what you meant by this.
There's enough serious issues in this world to worry about without turning everything into something that it clearly isn't.
There is also a lot of serious things that we don't consider to be such, until the time comes...

What is "ficticious"? English dictionary doesn't find such a word.
There is a word "fictitious" which has absolutely different meaning to the contest; and word "factitious".
Perhaps, you were trying to use this last one...

So I got one letter wrong, sue me. :D
I meant fictitious. Untrue - fabricated - made up - invented - conjured.
