Killing someone live online... Would you watch?

Munya

I think this would go here...
The movie Untraceable is about a man who slowly kills people and streams their death live online. The more viewers there are, the faster the person dies. During these murders, the number of viewers watching these people being tortured to death reaches nearly 20 million, and it is only able to be viewed by people in the U.S.

My question is this: If there were a site where people were being tortured to death live and you knew that if you tuned in you'd be killing them faster, could you keep yourself from watching?

I asked this somewhere else and the responses I got were astonishing so I wanted to know how yall would answer..

nice1franko

no.

Vic Vinegar

Not a hope! I watched a vid of some guy being beheaded ages ago and it disturbed me for months. I never want to see anything like that again. If someone reckons they like that kind of thing then they are trying to show off or they are just plain full of ****e!

Where else did you ask?

hussey

I'd pay to see Paris Hilton :P

Redrocket

depends on how they're gonna die? :P

beautiation

Yeah, I'd just stick the Benny Hill music on over it, that always makes everything hilarious.

No and there would have to be serious questions asked of anyone who would.

On a younge adult site..I'm not going to name it but it was split almost 50:50 between those who said no way and those who said I'd be curious and take a peek or Well I'm helping them die quicker by watching it.

Heisenberg.

So watching would be an act of mercy? Pff, no fúck that... don't feed the attention whores IMO.
A better rescue plan would be to get a few thousand people from youtube to show up and post "fake", "this is bs", and "you fúcking suck noob"... sicko video blogging career = over :pac:

Well, if Stealers Wheel – Stuck in the Middle With You is playing in the background and there is a bit of dancing involved I may be tempted.

A few years back there was an American guy who used to visit this drugs forum / chatroom and he got aload of prescription pills and started taking them on his webcam, while everyone in the chat room watched.

He was fairly out of his face but people in the room where egging him on to take more, take a handful etc. He collapsed and died on cam.

You could read the logs of the chat room when this all happened, some people were laughing about it, some people were trying to figure out his address to call an ambulance.

It's a fairly horrible story, you'd find it if you googled it.

Saw Untraceable...god it's disgusting! How can people say they'd watch someone being killed?

I heard about that but I thought it was a British guy.

all the stars

i mean didnt the terrorists kill british tourists by be-heading live? and that stuff made the news...
and also, the lady who died in the states on the floor in a hospital - that was shown on the news - images of her dying on the floor.

Its awful.... i'm afraid of people

Some Feedback Threads have been pretty hard to watch but sometimes you just have to force yourself for the greater good.

I believe his last words were "I told you I was hardcore"? What a sap

Hell no!
I love motorsport and it is seriously traumatising to watch mortal peril.

That was on IRC, don't think there was any cam involved?

As for tuning in? No.

People win when they get you involved in their sick games.

PurpleBerry

Untraceable is a load of horseshït. Not because of the content but because of the hilariously poor execution (no pun intended).

I wanted to see this is the movies, thought it sounded like a great idea. Having watched on on DVD a few weeks ago I'm glad I only wasted €4 on it.


Lame!

By the way, I would watch yes.

No.

I still regret watching Saddam's hanging video.

Or someone who looked like Saddam.

Anyway, the average Irish twat would watch anything.

More degradation of society.

I see incest is now the latest thing to be promoted on the television.

Only kiddy porn is left.

tobiesheba

It is beyond me how any human being could watch another being tortured and ultimately murdered. Why and how?

You strike me as one of those old biddies who sit at home and ring RTE to complain when women show their ankles.

"Thats disgraceful!"

But you are a guy...

Yeah cos incest wasn't famously a long running story line in some British soap years ago!!

Quick! Duck, Society's collapsing!

Aurora Borealis

No I couldn't watch someone die for entertainment value which unless you're watching this for some kind of research is in essence what it would be.

Depends on who it was. If it were some criminal who was getting the death penalty in America then, maybe. But if it was just some Joe Soap, then no.

Because you hate them, or you're angry, or you just hate lots of things, or you just enjoy watching someone get tortured and killed.

As a species we have a great ability to inflict pain and hurt on each other for any number of reasons.

Applying the same theory, you are one of these new ireland "guys". Liberated??, smug, and getting had left right and centre.

Piste

If it was someone I really, really hated and wanted to exact revenge on then I'd watch.





But that's very unlikely to happen, so no. In fact I'd probably be traumatised for life if I saw someone die, I don't like dead things.

Or something that looked like a hanging.

Either way, I don't care, wouldn't watch it again.

tobiesheba

I must be just soft even the thought of it disgusts me. But then again I couldn't even watch calves being slaughtered on The F Word a couple of weeks ago.

Kold

No. Wouldn't interest me in the slightest. I wouldn't see much difference between watching that and watching child pornography tbh.

Piste

It's far worse than child porn imho, these people would be losing their lives as well as being degraded for viewers' entertainment.

But if you really hated the kid, that'd be alright?

Ah yeah, if they killed my entire family I'm probably have a good lol at it.
