so this isnt news

Touring's no joke. The guys and I were run off the road before and it was scary as hell. I'm so sorry to read that the driver was killed. What a shame, the article didn't even give him a name.

I feel more sad for the driver than I do Cyrus.

poor driver, i wish his/her family the best.

That's awful

you know I could make some half-assed joke about her talent being in the state of her touring van, but i'm just gonna go ahead and skip it this time.

Wow, that's awful.

you've made the right decision

Pretty sure you made the joke you claimed you wouldn't in that sentence.

so this isnt news

This guy is dead you dicks.

God knows what family he had, what if he has young children? Who are now without a dad? You tits don't even stop to think and a lot of you think its just a fucking joke.

RIP

you're not even a dick; you're just an idiot.

someguest is dumb etc

Wow, I too was going to make some terrible joke, but then I saw that the driver's dead. That's awful...

Uhhh, TheStarclassicTreatment has a point. But I still don't understand why this is newsworthy.

What's the big deal about what gets posted as news? Does it really ruin your day when you see something outside of "NEW CYNIC ALBUM" posted as news. This is a music site, covering all grounds is just good business, plus articles outside of Sputniks golden bands bring up good and/or funny discussions most of the time.

yeah, what prophet said. someguest's comments are so fucking predictable

Don't acknowledge him.

sucks for that drivers family RIP

Newsworthiness is determined by the importance of the article in relation to the respective institution through which it is broadcast and by the expected generated attention from said new article, amongst other things.

I'm pretty sure that this article has had a few hits and it is music related news so....

well I'm saddened by the death :/ Stuff like that just stinks....but Miley wasn't hurt so thats good lol

how is that "lol"

RIP you insensitive fucks

rip

weird too because I85 is like 45 minutes from where i live

If people are going to 'BAW' about every death that occurs, be sure to sob once every second.
This one is just on the news.

I don't think saying "Rest In Peace" is the same thing as being sad over someone's death. It's just as natural as birth, like when you say "congratulations on the baby".

...either way.

sucks to hear, condolences to his family.

Frequency of death doesn't make it any less of a tragic event.

He had to drive that little priss around and he gets killed for it? RIP man, now that's brutal.

Rest in peace.

sounds pretty horrific... Miley is lucky she wasnt on that thing... i would shit my pants if i knew i was that close to being in a fatal accident and i wasnt there cause of some scheduling or W/e

RIP

Is that Marilyn Manson lyrics?

"Is that Marilyn Manson lyrics?"

Aye, that it is.
"The Fight Song" by Marilyn Manson

Ah, I just read the bit about the driver.

I retract my statement that "this isn't news". Poor driver.

Well done mate, in future try to read the article before commenting on it. It helps you to not look like an idiot.

r.i.p.

"The death of one is a tragedy, the death of a million is just a statistic."

"uhhh didnt stalin say that"

Quite possibly, it would be interesting if he had and Manson just quoted it for the song.

Actually it was one of his Generals who said that, the quote is misattributed to him though. But of what relevance is it, RIP bus driver

Local news outlets in Virginia are reporting one fatality in a crash involving Miley Cyrus' tour bus.

You are aware people die and it actually DOESN'T go on the news because they're NOT connected to somebody famous?

The death of one is a tragedy, the death of a million is just a statistic.

Bitch should write a song for him, oh wait she might butcher it, let someone else do it. RIP, sir.

On the other hand, if you're going to 'BAW' every second for someone who died regardless of whether or not you do know someone die, then it defeats the purpose of respect for death. How can you respect something which you don't even know happens?

Sucks that it's usually deaths somehow connected to famous people that get reported, but I think it's better that you mean what you say when you think it sucks they died, as opposed to thinking, "Oh, Christ, someone might have died now. I should feel sorry/sad/whatever just in case." Doesn't say/mean nearly as much.

*BAW* RIP dude.

Sucks.

At least it wasn't me.

It's pretty tragic that the guy died aiding Miley Cyruses career
(serious)

im pretty sure they released the name of the driver. there was an article on yahoo about it earlier. idr the name though. either way it still sucks. rip

Apparently his name is Bill Douglas. Miley has said:

"We are deeply saddened by the loss of Bill 'Uncle Bill' Douglas. Members of our tour are like members of our family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family in the midst of this tragedy. He will truly be missed."

it's kinda mind-boggling how insensitive people can be

rest in peace uncle bill douglas

RIP

RIP

Should've been Miley.

What!? SOMEONE had to say it.

RIP.

so if miley wasnt there, then hannah montana must have been there to incite the wreck. but no.seriously.thats fucked up the driver doesnt even get a name for himself besides miley cyrus' bus driver.but i guess thats the nature of the beast O_o
