John Denver fans will get ya

Four months ago, I uploaded “John Denver Crash” to YouTube.

Head over to the comments page and you’ll see the bombardment I received at the hands of John Denver fans.  Here’s a tame example:

Mike Huckabee might think this video is funny. He’s a tasteless moron like you.

It’s the lowest rated of my movies with one-and-a-half stars from 11 ratings.  Yet, it has two-thousand views, more than double the “ReinCarnation Instant Breakfast” video.

Who would’ve thought so many people on YouTube were John Denver fans and/or morbid people who want to see John Denver’s plane crash?  Are they stumbling on this offensive piece because they get notified when new John Denver videos appear?

So, some John Denver fans hate me.  The sad thing is I like John Denver.  I’m not hardcore like the commenters on my video (if you click on their names, be ready for their favorites to be stacked with John Denver videos, like this guy, who also has an affinity for Hummers).

I feel bad about upsetting these people, but I have one lingering question for them: Why did you click on a video titled “John Denver Crash?”  Was there any chance you would have been pleased at what you saw?  You took offense to my dramatization, would you not have been upset if it were actual footage of John meeting his end?  The thumbnail image for the video is a mushroom cloud, for Pete’s sake (my friend Pete always orders mushroom pizza).

Is it possible these people want to see footage of their hero dying? I’d say it’s likely. They don’t want to admit it, but they’re just as sick as I am, maybe worse. They satiate on something much darker than comedy.
