I feel badly for laughing so hard at this. The poor little kid was probably so upset, and I'm sure his parents couldn't bring themselves to tell him how Benoit died. I think it's the music that makes this so funny.
I feel for the kid, it must have been rough. I don't remember if I idolized anybody at that age who wasn't an animated character. Someday he's going to learn a little more about his hero and a part of him will die. It's part of the fun of life!
