...This just in--- Tigers & Penguins celebrate new years!!!

Maybe a little too soon?

so many kinds of win!

Man, I really needed that tiger and penguin palette cleanser afterwards. Strategically placed, CBS. Bravo.

Don't miss the exciting follow-up, Brazilian TV Helicopter Crash!

CBSnews.com is apparently the new Ogrish.

I just heard about this around 20 minutes ago. My asshole city made the most dangerous luge track in the history of mankind.

They showed this on CTV which is Canadian news channel with the exclusive Olympic rights this year. The second I saw the crash my response was: "Holy fuck they put this on TV" and then they proceeded to show it again in slow motion.

You can hear the *clang*. :( God, that's horrifying.

Five stars for the pure evil of CBS keeping this video active.

welp the olympics sure started with a bang

but i'm from georgia and i don't see lex luger anywhere :(

When does the Running man starts showing on tv?

:(

Saw it on the tv earlier - might as well be here.
Real nice of the local stations to freeze-frame it just as he's losing control.
"The rest is too shocking to show."
"That would be great, if I didn't just see it on CBS. Now I can fill in the fucking rest from memory."

I'm 5-starring this for the same reasons most people are one-starring it.

Luge is one of those sports I watch and say, "No really dude. You don't have to do that."

Well at least it was quick and painless.

What were they thinking building a course with unpadded metal bars next to it though?

As we've seen in no less than four Indiana Jones movies, a luger is always beaten by whiplash.

Yeah nice going there, CBS.

Are huge metal beams along the tracks really an optimal solution? Would that kinda shit fly on any other racing tracks?

One star for poor taste. R.I.P.

One star for snuff. We can find that everywhere else on the internets, no need to post it here.

watching people die gets me so fucking HARD

It's not like there's blood and guts. Y'all five starred the horrible truck crash video even though 4 people died in that. And what about that one from way back where the floor collapses? This is just horrible, but not gruesome. And CBS's tagline deal at the end is definitely evil enough.

I can't rate this. I wish I hadn't watched it at all.

:(

Five stars for people who don't even know what snuff is.

One star for me, for watching it.

Absolutely five stars for this. The CBS logo flashes up, while you are still soaking in the sudden violence of the end of that clip only to be replaced, just as suddenly, with the image of a chubby and awkward tiger kitten in a pink dress galumphing around and screaming.

All in the space of three seconds.

Massive head trauma. Market branding. Infant animal in drag.

Boom. boom. boom.

Awesome.

(to the detractors: I am curious about what definition of 'evil' are you using)

Not sure why this gets tons of outrage and 1-stars while the South Korean Chinook helicopter crashing and blowing up while placing a momument on a bridge gets zero outrage and not a single rating (out of 18) under 4 stars.

Yeah, the 3 Korean soldiers that were killed are hidden in the cockpit making it a bit less gruesome looking, but the bottom line is you're still watching multiple people die. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I very much doubt that those are the only 2 videos showing people dying on poetv, and I also doubt that most of them get this kind of outrage.
