Jesus, I would not have expected that so quickly. All Most of the accounts are around 15-17 days old, so about the time of the recent FPH influx. A shame that they're dominating the culture now when previously people wouldn't be cracking jokes over a death (possible suicide) and attacking people for being concerned about vaccine safety.
Edit: As of now, four hours later, the top comments are now no longer all the ones attacking and laughing at Jeff Bradstreet. When I made my comment here originally, almost all of the comments on that discussion page were people celebrating the man's death, implying he was mentally ill because of his stance on vaccines.
I hate how this somehow makes you antivax. (I'm not against vaccinations btw, just suspicious)
It's like calling monsanto evil cunts makes you an anti-gmo anti science freak.
I'm ok with people cracking jokes (of any quality) about someones death, but it should be in a place people expect to see that type of comment. /v/news is not the place for it.
it's the same as calling people anti-semites for questioning truths. It's designed to elicit an emotional response from everyone else. But it has been overused, and people are becoming more aware. :)
