On Tuesday morning, an Orange County teenager ended his own life. Happens all the time you might think. Well, this OC teen was advertising his suicide on Myspace.com. I heard about in the radio this morning. Apparently, loved ones, who had been following this story, just didn't act in time. Some reports say that he tried 4 days earlier and failed. So his wonderful parents decided to leave him along--so soon?
My first "real" job was with a radio commerical production company--a small one. The owner is one of the funniest men I've ever met, and the most insane. He decided, because business was slow, to start a web site at electrocuteme.com. He pretended to have caught a man who had raped his wife and he was going to execute the rapist live over the internet. He hired actors. Wrote scripts. And posted the video. It was all fake and VERY few people ever found the site. Within 2 days we had been raided by the LAPD. More than 20 officers stormed our office--we worked from a small Hollywood house. Someone cared to send the very best--the men in blue.
For our unfortunate teenage friend, no one cared. This is sad.

I saw that site. (electrocuteme.com) You hosted it with Verio, right? I know the FBI was asking us about it. I saw it a few times and then wondered what happened to it. It was pretty convincing, or at least left enough in doubt for me to think it might have been real. Is it posted somewhere else to be able to view it?
I actually reported this to the FBI in May 2000 because it was so damn creepy. Can you provide any more details on the police raid and such?
