I find it hard to care sometimes when something bad happens to stupid people who put themselves into a situation. Get in a car accident because someone hit you? I'll feel sorry for you. Suffer from identity theft? I'll feel sorry for you. But pee on a PS2 that is still plugged in and you get electrocuted for it - sorry, isn't happening.

From the article:

The sordid tale reads pretty much exactly like you'd expect. Guy A (Gary) buys a PS3, throws kegger to celebrate. 20 or so friends come over... presumably some beer is involved. After the evening is well underway, someone gets the idea to throw names into a hat with the lucky winner getting to make the judgement call about the best way to send off Gary's old PS2.

Buy B's name (Mike) is pulled from the hat. Sadly his unusual choice for PS2 execution concluded with both a bang and a whimper. Exhibit A: an eyewitness excerpt taken from classmate Amy Dixon (via funtechtalk):

"[Mike] was now so intoxicated he could barely stand. After the announcement, [he] without hesitation walked over to the Playstation and started urinating on it. For a moment everyone just laughed, [but] the mood quickly changed when [Mike] fell to the floor unconscious."

Zzzzzzt. Remember kids: always check to make sure your PS2 is unplugged before whizzing all over it. Just a handy safety tip from your friends at 1UP.
