7/13: Cam girl suicide attempt

After breaking up with a guy, web cam operator Stacy decided to kill herself and show the world that she was doing it. She took her web cam into the bathroom, and...

Had a whole bunch of chatters trying to call 911.

She didn't really take enough pills to die, I think, and here is a followup message:

<i>Everyone,

Hi, this is Glenn, Stacy's "bug." I wanted to let everyone know that S is OK. She is at Long Island College Hospital and, I hear, is currently sleeping.

I have not been over there yet and don't know when I will be able to go.

If you wish to contact me you may do so at burningclown@burningclown.com. I will try to answer emails/questions and so forth.

Thanks for being Stacy's friends. If anyone can tell me how to delete the troll comment, I would appreciate it. It looks as though it may have been deleted already, but I have no idea how, or whether I'm just seeing things.</i>

Note, I don't follow web cams... I found this on one of the many weblogs I peruse. And that log didn't point to the cam; it pointed to a page that had saved the shot, and contained a long rant against Stacy.

Which brings me to my next point, and that is that my generation, Gen X, 13ers, whatever, is sometimes just BROKEN. We have a coldness running through our veins, a sarcastic nihilism. Yeah, the web cam girls are probably pretty screwed up - desperately crying for attention. The image above is probably as much that as anything else. But we are all screwed up, in a lot of ways.
