AT college today the hot topic was "Did you see that Derren Brown bloke, wow it was so amazing I almost jizzed myself" well to be honest I didnt think it was all that impressive. He fired a blank away from himself, and granted he didnt die which is impressive, but I somehow think it was a bit dodgy. He fired two shots away from him and 3 at his head.

With only 1 bullet and 5 shots he had a 1 in 5 chance of dying, but fired two away so he only really had a 3/5 chance of dying. Thats 60%, just over half, and people have taken much bigger risks than that. Anyway it wasn't bad, but I felt it had a bit of an anti-climax. At least he got it over and done with in a few minutes instead of spending 44 days doing it like David Blaine - someone should hook their car exhaust up to his air supply.

Anyway I heard on the news this morning that a number of copycat had played Russian Roulette, unsucessfully, following Derren Browns stunt. All respect to the dead and that but ARE YOU BLOODY STUPID! Copying Jackass stuff and wrestling moves when it tells you not to is a different thing altogether. Firing a gun at your head is just plain retarded. Anyway they got what was coming... a bullet.

By the way did anyone else think the guy that loaded the gun for Derren Brown looked like Ralf Little of Royle Family fame?

The funniest thing is one of the death was from a semi-automatic pistol. The bullet is loaded in magazines, so it HAD to fire first time...

I bet they were townies.

Lol. People that stupid deserve to die. If they were left to their own devices they would probably get killed doing something else idiotic and take someone else's life with them.

I have to say i didnt actually see it, mainly because i forgot it was on. But as for it being the hot topic, the first time i had heard it mentioned was when my dad said to me "did you see that Russian roulette thing last night" and that was about an hour ago.
