Christopher Reeves - Dead?

I guess they're going to have to get him down from the Washington Monmument today.

Uh, yeah. So is every single human being on the face of this planet. It's in our very nature to be selfish, it's how we survive.

That article was idiotic. He only cared about paralysis after he became paralyzed? Imagine that!

Shit, I forgot all about that Onion article. Hilarious stuff.

And no, I don't agree with Maddox, but his article is still pretty damn funny, especially the picture. But I never really thought Maddox was there to be agreed with as much as amused by, anyway.

I think that instead of wasting bandwith making fun of someone who actually had a cause, he should go out and find one himself.

Does your average person give a shit about anything until it happens to them? Seriously, this guy is a retard.

By his logic, if Reeve sat in a corner doing nothing to help anyone after his accident he'd be less of an asshole.

I hate to admit it, though, but that Mortal Kombat pic in the article was pretty funny.

What can physical mobility afford you that pure thought can't alone? It's so gracious of Mr. Reeve to acknowledge that you can "still" live a meaningful life, even as a cripple.

Tell us what living life to the fullest's all about, Mr. Bitter Internet Guy.

Yes, by the articles logic everyone should be giving money and time to every disease research fundraiser possible, because you could develop a need for it someday. Cancer, AIDS, Alzheimers, Diabetes etc. It's absurd. But at the same time, hilarious.
