Internet Video Voyeurism at its Worst … Abraham K. Biggs Commits Suicide on “lifecasting” website as People Just Watch

Internet Voyeurism … teen commits suicide on onlookers watch. What a way to get attention, notoriety and make your site meter spin.

So you think 24/7 live streaming video on the internet is a good thing. You think that uncensored, unvetted live streaming video is a benefit and has redeeming social qualities? Yesterday in Broward County, FL it was taken to its worse extreme. 19 year old Abraham K. Biggs, who went by the screen names “CandyJunkie” and “Mr Biggs” committed suicide as onlookers watched via live streaming video. Biggs posted suicide note:

Abraham K. Biggs

Mr Biggs then posted his suicide note, where he said he had hurt other people and hated himself for being a failure. “I am an a@#hole I have let everyone down and I feel as though I will never change or never improve. I am in love with a girl and I know that I am not good enough for her.”

Above is the note that Biggs had earlier in the day posted that he was going to commit suicide later that night and all were welcome to watch.

A TEENAGER has apparently committed suicide in front of a live webcam after being encouraged by people online.

19-year-old Florida resident Abraham K. Biggs, who went by the screen names “CandyJunkie” and “Mr Biggs”, told users on a bodybuilding forum he would be committing suicide that night and invited them to watch the live video.

The forum moderators allegedly ignored the post – assuming it was a prank – while other users posted insults and even egged him on.

That is correct. People ignored Bigg’s post and actually egged the teen on and made insulting posts as the teen took several pills, laid down on his bed and stopped breathing. What has this world come to? Forum members actually insulted Biggs as he died. Finally as the video rolled live viewers were able to contact local police who broke down Bigg’s door and found the 19 year old dead. According to reports, 1500 people viewed as Biggs committed suicide. Unbelievable.

The 19-year-old lay on his bed and only after several hours of no movement did others begin to take him seriously. With the video still running, forum members managed to contact the local police who eventually broke down the door, found the body and switched off the camera. Up to 1,500 people were viewing the feed, according to one report.

A video clip posted on the net shows a police officer entering the room, his handgun drawn, as he checks for any sign of life. Local police said they were investigating a suspected suicide and the death was confirmed by the Broward County medical examiner.

Data Theft at Too Much Media … Allowed Hackers Access to Internet Porn Web sites’ Subscriber Lists.

Wanna get away? It would appear that a New Jersey based company, Too Much Media, has had a security breech. What does Too Much Media do? They sell accounting software for adult Web sites. The company told its customers last month that a security breach on its computers allowed hackers to access various adult Web sites’ subscriber lists. Ooops.

Keith Kimmel of Norman, Okla., who runs two Web sites that feature porn, said the breach has the potential to embarrass.

“Would you really want a record floating around the Internet that you subscribe to hardcore bondage?” he asked.

Really?

MP3 Christmas Gift for 10 Year Old Girl Bought at WALMART Preloaded With Porn

I hardly think that this was on Santa’s list of presents to bring children …

Hey Walmart … Wanna get away? This must have been the feeling when Daryl Hill realized that the MP3 player he had purchased at Walmart for his 10 year old daughter was preloaded with porn and explicit songs. One would think that legal action will be part of this families new year.

A father gave his 10-year-old daughter a Christmas present that would make Santa blush.

Now Daryl Hill wants to know why an MP3 video player he bought at a Wal-Mart in Sparta was preloaded with pornography and explicit songs.

Hill bought three of the players as Christmas presents for his children. He said one of the devices had apparently been returned to the store from a previous owner who loaded sex clips and songs with lyrics about using drugs.

“Within 10 minutes, my daughter was crying,” Hill said Thursday. “I wish I could take the thoughts and images out of her head.”

Hill questioned why Wal-Mart Stores Inc. would sell used merchandise as new, which he said violates its own policies. (FOX News)
