So, a chick flashing her boobs is on par with a guy threatening to commit suicide? I just don't think those two actions are comparable, in any form. One is nudity. The other is life or death.

I have never heard of this, except for maybe in the movies. Have you seen this happen in real life, firsthand? Can you give me a factual example of this happening? I just cannot imagine it.
And I am aware that the guy might have committed suicide anyway, regardless of the internet or webcam. That is why I said, in the last parentheses to my previous post, that I wasn't talking about the guy committing suicide... I was talking about the fucking assholes who watched him do it, and thought that this was okay, even cool or funny. That's just plain sick.
