Yes, people died. It was quite a newsworthy story at the time – if you took the time to turn your nerdy little head from your monitor, you may have noticed.
If that’s true, then it’s a pity, and my heart goes out to that person’s family and friends…but either way, this picture was taken before anyone died, most likely, and therefore is very funny.
What an incredible photo. While it may not be in the best of taste, it made me laugh. Welcome to the internet. If it offends you, don’t view the site. Simple as that.
Why in the world would people take the time to go to a website to look at DEMOTIVATIONAL posters, and then critique them and ask for them to be removed….wth are you people thinking? If you don’t like it, don’t come on the site, what do you expect?
I am an avid cyclist and had friends who have been tragically injured or killed in car accidents. As sad as that is, I nearly peed and fell off my chair laughing when I saw this one! Epic tastelessness — funny as hell.
That happend on a city next to mine. That place is called Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Its a border town south of Brownsville, Tx. .
Please stop sayin somebody die because no one got killed even when it looks so dramatic. I remember hearin on national news there were only two or three guys with real injuries.
Allow me to correct you.
One dead, four injured, according to the Brownsville Herald.
And the driver wasn’t just drunk, he was also under the influence of drugs. Double whammy!
According to the full photo on the site, the accident also happened right in front of a policeman.
Either way, get your facts right next time, please.
Also, despite the tragedy, it’s funny. Don’t deny it.
People deal with loss by laughing sometimes. It makes death less scary.
haha we have the WORST combination of old people and teenagers on the road in Florida. Add in all the tourists and we have the perfect recipe for accidents and traffic.
I don’t care if someone died or not, it’s still hilarious.
I mean really – most of the pics on this site are going to be in bad taste, offensive to specific groups, or otherwise something that people might complain about. That’s the POINT of this and many similar sites. Get over it.
A car driven by an alleged drunken driver plowed into a bicycle race along a highway near the U.S.-Mexico border Sunday, killing one cyclist and injuring 10 others.
Juan Campos was apparently drunk and had fallen asleep at the wheel before crashing into the race in Monterrey, Mexico, police investigator Jose Alfredo Rodriguez said.
A photograph taken by a city official shows the horrifying moment of impact. The force of the collision sent bicyclists and equipment high into the air and Matamoros newspaper El Mañana described children crying, women shouting for help and men trying to lynch Campos before police arrived to arrest him.
KILLED IN THE CRASH WAS ALEJANDRO ALVAREZ, 37, of Monterrey.
Campos told police he was an American citizen from Brownsville, Texas. The U.S. consulate could not immediately confirm that.
“We are looking into the incident in terms of whether American citizens were involved,” consulate spokesman Todd Huizinga told the Associated Press.
The crash happened 15 minutes into the race along a highway between Playa Bagdad and Matamoros, authorities said.
A total of 452 cyclists were participating in the 21-mile race, which was canceled after the incident.
I think it’s hilarious. if it happened to me, I’d be like “damn, lol, what a way to go.” of course, I wouldn’t be in some lame-ass bicycle race to begin with. kinda like the darwin awards…
Laughter is a way to deal with other people’s tragedy ? Nice one.
I’ve been as de-sensitized by the internet as the next man, but that doesn’t mean everything is an acceptable target for humour. This is well wide of the mark, only amusing for those wrapped up in the own immaturity and selfishness.
I know it’s terrible, but I still laughed at it when it was titled in another Demotivation as: “OUT OF MY WAY!!! I have to save the Internet!” It’s Dead Baby Humor, and while not in good taste, still causes some of us the giggles.
This has got to be one of the oldest “demotivational” posters out there and there are posts even up to this day about it? Wow some people need to step the f*%& off their high horses and admit no matter how “tasteless” you think it is it is still going to be FUCKING HILARIOUS to some people. Shit even I thought it was funny. Were people hurt? YES, was someone killed? YES, does that mean we can’t laugh about it? FUCK YOU I think it’s still funny as shit and yes we can laugh about it. You people who say it’s not funny or poor taste or whatever are the same hypocrites that were calling Michael Jackson a pedo, child-rapist, disgusting waste of a human being when he was alive but as soon as he died you hopped on the dick riding train and called him “the greatest” shit everything is in poor taste to you people because you’re always trying to say what you think is the right thing instead of enjoying a truly hilarious situation. And this guy mowing these bikers down like that is one hell of a high score!
I found it pretty hilarious at first sight, like watching a friend majorly stack it, then kinda realised it looks like it was a pretty serious accident.
The pic is funny, the reality of the pic isn’t.
As horrifying as I find the story behind the pic, I still find the pic itself hilarious. I mean, seriously, who doesn’t have a little bit of a morbid sense of humor.
It’s in exceptionally poor taste. It is rather clever humor, if dark humor, in spite of that, or perhaps because of it. I don’t think it should be taken down, as tasteless as it is, because A) I don’t believe in censorship and B) to my view it’s valueable to read the comments and know who’s an asshole and who isn’t.
I must agree with the very first comment. This is in poor taste, it’s a fucking funny gist on things, but let’s be honest, it’s straight up tacky and disrespectful to those who lost family members.
For the respect of the families who lost their loved ones in this accident, can you please remove this?
It’s funny, get over it.
I don’t know any of these cyclists, so it made me laugh.
“I don’t know any of these cyclists, so it made me laugh.”
This is pretty much a one-sentence summary of human psychology.
This is the Internet. If you’re easily offended, you’d best leave.
Welcome to the internet. Get a sense of humor or get off.
Laugh at dying people or dont use the internet!!
Win!
Who knows 100% that someone died? It is POSSIBLE that everyone lived.
It’s also possible that if someone died, they had no family.
Yes, people died. It was quite a newsworthy story at the time – if you took the time to turn your nerdy little head from your monitor, you may have noticed.
Someone died in that accident, others were seriously injured.
This is very poor taste.
Pfft, I know people were killed in this accident or at least severely injured, still doesn’t mean I can’t laugh my ass off at it!
I agree, it’s not funny when it’s lethal.
I drive around the parking lots at busy scores looking for the best combo. I keep a score table in my glovebox.
What? I’m just saying what everyone else really thinks…
scores = stores
(FAIL
sorry)
Just a note: somebody died in this accident. Not necessarily in the best of taste.
If that’s true, then it’s a pity, and my heart goes out to that person’s family and friends…but either way, this picture was taken before anyone died, most likely, and therefore is very funny.
Unfortunately Calvin never got over his “that bike is out to get me” .
he’s now in a padded cell but its ok hobbies is still with him.
it was reported there was a stuffed bear in the drivers seat
Do I dare say there was a woman behind the wheel?
Evidently you do dare to say it. And i dare to call you a sexist jerk.
an 87 year old deaf woman.
So it’s ok to make fun of killing someone but making fun of women drivers makes him a jerk.
Make meh a sammich!
With that many people involved, this was no accident. It was definitely intentional.
It is always sad when people die. But humor is a way of dealing with tragedy. I say keep the poster up.
he missed one!
ROFLMAO!!!

The driver was drunk dude by the way.
Are you fucking kidding me?!?!?! “Only 2 or 3 guys with real injuries” Yeah right. Who lets retards on the internet?
well, they let you on!
Allow me to correct you.

This look likes geezer bowling in Florida….
They are too lame to really bowl so they use their full sized cars….
haha we have the WORST combination of old people and teenagers on the road in Florida. Add in all the tourists and we have the perfect recipe for accidents and traffic.
That was called “Bonus for artistic impression” in Carmaggedon. LOL
“RACE COMPLETED!”
5x Combo Bonus
I don’t care if someone died or not, its still in bad taste.

Can you say SADISTIC?
all pictures like this are fuunny! as long as your loved ones are not involvet in those axidents… so, mine are not, so ROFL!
@Dariotsky:
are you kidding? Several people did die in that “accident”. It was big news here in Mexico.
Fox News Tuesday, June 3, 2008 Monterrey, Mexico:

According to Snopes.com, there were ten injuries and one fatality.
I laugh at dead baby jokes. I’d find this funny any day.
hahaha… the previous comment made me ignite in evil laughter… yes… death is rather amusing when it does not happen to you
You gotta admit, the photo is quite impressive, in that it caught such an indelible shot of the action.
And I agree with previous posters: laughter is a way to deal with tragedy. Keep the picture up.
It is sad, yes, but maybe some of us here in SF wish it was Critical Mass that was being taken out. Welcome to Death Race 2010.
Hell of a clean up ! You all should think about what if it was you?
Looks like Liberals running the Government, real funny.
not funny at all. extremely poor taste. those who thought it funny: I hope something this bad or worse happens to you and/or your family. assholes
I think it’s hilarious. if it happened to me, I’d be like “damn, lol, what a way to go.” of course, I wouldn’t be in some lame-ass bicycle race to begin with. kinda like the darwin awards…
You, sir, are a faggot.
LOL
you just sit home and continue trying to blow yourself and leave the comments up to the big boys. Queerbait!

at least they were mexicans , haha
The person who died that day was american. HA HA..
In that point of view, it’s very funny…XDD
If you read it a little closer, the driver was American, but the guy who died was Mexican. Still funny?
I know it’s terrible, but I still laughed at it when it was titled in another Demotivation as: “OUT OF MY WAY!!! I have to save the Internet!” It’s Dead Baby Humor, and while not in good taste, still causes some of us the giggles.
rflmffao………………………………………………@ the other title for this picture. Oh damn thats some funny shit, funnier than this one.

HOHOHO, THIS WAS DELICIOUS!
(Game) : New High Score!
(Driver) : Yes!! I are soo happy I might be a world record holder!
if you can’t find comedy within tragedy you’re probably on the wrong earth. seeya round!
No matter how you spin it, this isn’t funny.
I saw this before, but I still died laughing when I saw it. Nothing is funnier than death!
Killionaire!
Pmsl
Honesly, whoever thinks this is funny should see a psychiorist…
Read the accident story here: http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/news/car-87345-dead-four.html

welcome to the internet, people
haha! my mum used to say “how many points if i knock that old guy off his bike?” “3 points!”
This guy must have made over a hundred XD
When I was a kid, it was “quarter if you hit him, dollar if he dies!”
As horrifying as I find the story behind the pic, I still find the pic itself hilarious. I mean, seriously, who doesn’t have a little bit of a morbid sense of humor.
“Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die.

Yes, very poor taste. But it’s still okay for it to be funny.
at first i was like :/
but than i lol’d.

That’s photoshopped, you idiots
lolno. Read the articles on the accident.
Goddamn hilarious though.
It is unknown at this time whether Guida vs. Gugerty will grace the televised portion of the Versus TV card.
