The star of "zoom" dies in a car accident and the Ironic tag is not used? Am I missing something here people?

How many of you watched that show religiously waiting for the episode where they finally taught you how to fly?

In my home town...

NakedReporta

Right on.

I wonder if they'll bury him in a coffin made from milk cartons and pipe cleaners.

ChairmanKaga - The star of "zoom" dies in a car accident and the Ironic tag is not used? Am I missing something here people?

Considering it's not ironic, yes you are.

Also sad: the Union Leader can't spell "Juilliard"

Now that's just wrong


you left out construction paper

That's too bad, but the guy wasn't kidnapped. He got in the car and took the chance. That's what can happen.

Is it just me or is Laurie Birkner really hot in those music videos on Noggin Channel?

Famous last words...."zoom zoom zoom zoom".

Zoom original had a rockin theme song though

/feel bad for family

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Box three-five-oh, Boston, Mass...

I guess they took those Mazda commercials too seriously.

C'mon and zooma-zooma-zooma zoom!

'Cuz Hell has lots of rooma-rooma-rooma room!

We all know Bert and Ernie are *really* in Thialand on a 'boy's love excursion'....

I read that as "I wonder if they'll burn him in coffin made from milk cartons and pipe cleaners.

/anyone else?
//maybe it's all the recent firework/aerosol/burning mishap threads of late

Boonlert Boonpan: Is it just me or is Laurie Birkner really hot in those music videos on Noggin Channel?

In the original batch she was. In the latest ones...not so much. Too much makeup making her look too much, I don't know. Not good?

Besides why bother with Berkner when Noggin also features Rebecca Frezza, Lisa Loeb, and Oobi?

/yes, zoom guy dead. very sad, etc.

Wait, so the guy who was 19 (underage) was drunk and driving, while the guy who was 21 (of age) was sober and not driving?

Only 21? Obviously he wasn't alive when I watched the show. But I can't remember anyone on the show. Or anything beyond the giant ZOOM letters, and the theme song someone quoted already.

Did he leave a SASE???

Alphax: Only 21? Obviously he wasn't alive when I watched the show.

The show came back on the air in 1999 after a twenty-five year hiatus.

thats super sad, i remember watching that show, i wanted to be one it when i was 12

ChairmanKaga,

subby here & theorellior is right, I've found only thing "Ironic" tag gets you is visits from the Irony Police, or people who claim the subby is only instigating a flame war by utilizing said tag...

/OH-two-one-three-Foooooour!

Uh....so the fencing pic was the best this journalist could do?

I don't know if it's because the accident happened about 1/2 mile from my house and that his parent's house is about 1/2 mile from mine in the other direction (so I feel closer to it than I am but I didn't know him or his family so I'm really not) but all I can think is that it's really sad that the kid died and all that most of your pricktards can do is make corny Zoom jokes.

Seriously. How do you think his friends or family would feel if they read this stuff. WTF is wrong with you people?

If you really don't care how about trying to not care silently?

myspace profile

looks like he was a party animal.
when will people learn not to drink and drive?

Jeet. How do you sit with that enormous stick up your hiney?

Jeet



Lighten up, Francis

If you really don't care how about trying to not care silently?

Not caring silently> Ha! Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

Hey Jeet

I also hope his friends and family aren't reading this. I, for one, would not be farking if my loved one just died in a manner that might be reported in any news media.

Also, up your butt with a coconut.

micah1701: myspace profile

Is that "died on myspace" page still around?

> should be a ?

/self pwned

Jeet

Out of curiosity, I looked at your profile. You've been around long enough to know how Fark works.

I was going to ask if he was doing that crazy Asian arm thing, and dammit if brap doesn't come up with a freaking animated gif.

Jeet Trying to start a cliche there Hoss?

...I've had to stop watching the Disney Channel at night because of all the yummy jailbait in those pre-teen shows...
