Kill yourself, go to jail

I thought this was particularly amusing:

QuoteYesterday the St Petersburg City Council passed an emergency ordinance that makes suicide for commercial or entertainment purposes illegal

Just what are they going to do if you illegally commit suicide, anyway?

Maybe attempting to commit suicide (and failing) gets you thrown in jail.

My friend knows the band member of hell on earth... he was telling me about this earlier today..I guess he was planning to goto the show or something like that.

I'm assuming you mean St. Petersburg, Florida? That is a wierd place. The law would make sense.

I'm thinkin' that the ordinance would also make the band members partly liable for the man committing suicide.
