I am not all familiar with the Jackass series, so when I heard that Ryan Dunn died I didn't have much context. However, he is a human being and deserves respect when he hasn't even been dead a full day. It doesn't matter that he died in a car crash after drinking. What matters was that he is a human being that died.
Roger Ebert disagrees with me since he posted (soon after Dunn was dead) that "Friends don't let jackasses drink and drive".
Now I do admit drunk driving is not good and that Ebert does have a point. However, it was too soon after Dunn had died. Let the people who need to grieve, grieve for a little bit then let your distaste out.
