obituary: ryan dunn

          Ryan Dunn of MTV's Jackass franchise died in a horriffic car accident in June of 2011. A Philadelphia paper wrote an Obituary on the 34-year-old that was less than a celebration of a short life ended too soon than a review of past misjudgments. They make several evaluative arguments by noting "Mr. Dunn's reputation for bad driving" and an occasion where he "once flipped a car eight times into oncoming traffic with Mr. [Bam] Margera inside." They discuss his friendship with his best friend as "enduring, if hazardous to their health." The claims made about Ryan Dunn in this article were poorly timed, just 2 days after his death and 1 day after they could confirm his identity due to the particularly violent nature of the accident. Claims made by the Inquirer of his "daredevil streak" and his making a "career out of cheating death" were only supported by legal evidence of tickets and movies. Such claims without personal evidence, interview, or any personal relationship without Dunn were out of place in such a strongly worded piece. No matter teh nature of the death or career history, nobody is perfect and I don't think anybody would wnt him to be rememberes in that fashion.
