So, Joystiq, while youre busy have so much fun with a picture of someone elses horror did you at least bother to check if this person in the truck was rescued?
Before using a photo for some silly trading cards and poking fun, I hope you at least checked out the story first to see it ended well. The person in the truck and those kids obviously didnt find the situation too funny. Sometimes this web site seems to be run by some of the immature commentors.

And I assume, every time you see goatse, you stop and think to yourself, "Gee, I wonder if those people went through any pain!". Some pictures are better left without some dbag overthinking them.
Bucfann @ Mar 30th 2008 1:08AM
@ Swampy
Over thinking them?
What am I over thinking. Let me see, the pic is obviously real with exception of the stupid Sony trading card being photoshopped in. The pic shows a truck dangeling over the edge of a cliff only being held from destruction by the trailer bed. There is a passenger trapped in the truck which looks to be a female. There are kids standing on the edge of the cliff. So it could very well be the mother of the kids in the truck, who knows and it doesnt matter. If this picture is indeed real, then before its being used by a video game site and called "the funniest pic of the week", maybe the poster of this should check out the real story behind it. Find out what happened and if everyone did survive.
So no I dont think I am over thinking it. That day was probably the worst day of a couple peoples lives. Imagine if you were the one trapped in there or if you were the kid there watching your mother or whomever dangeling there. Would you think its funny? Sorry but Joystiq shouldnt take pictures of someone elses misfortune especially with a life in the balance and basically call it funny. I guess maybe im one of the few that think life should be precious. Its not a joke to me to laugh at other peoples deaths or near death.
