Not sure how public this was, girl takes up smoking, mother tells her smoking will kill her and not to do it, girl smokes in bathroom and covers herself in fabric-freshener to hide the smell from her, ends up poisoning herself and dies.
Now mother has put blame on herself somewhat, saying she would have let her smoke in front of her now. Well, yes.
It's rather tragic (poor girl died fitting and foaming at the mouth) and yet strangely and awkwardly funny. There's not enough irony in the news really.
Basically, if you're going to be a rebel, please read the label correctly. Poor girl.

Yeah, so much compassion.
I still think she sprayed it down her throat or used the whole can... in a very small bathroom and stayed there for an hour.
I'd be embarrassed if I died like that.

We've all done stupid things, but we haven't been stupid enough to die from our actions.
Oh we've all done stupid things, no doubt (in my case, spending 13 years with a *&^(ing lunatic is my particular act of negligence). But I'd hazard a guess that no-one, not even kevstar or Bell, has scaled the heights of stupidity shown here.
Like Grix says; it's tragic, but god it's funny.

Heh. I love the compasion in this thread. You would all think that none of you had done anything stupid in your life. :D
Did the world just get lighter? Did we just lose a moron? We did? WOO-HOO!
We lost a moron! /dance
We lost a moron! /dance
That's one for the Darwin Awards.

Yeah, one life lost is nothing really.
I say the same about 2 lives.
Even 10.
Or how abut 100, or a thousand?
WHere do you say it's thej loss of too many lives?
1 life lost is stupid, but she should have done what my brother did and thrown herself into trees.

I'd make 'em text in. ;)
Minus the decoration, I think there was a donkey poll rather like that.

Not quite so extreme as that, but the polls are so funny
'Should criminals be released early?'
'Should we rule our own country?'
'Do you think there are too many people in the UK?'
