WoW Funeral Party Gets Owned

Brief summary of the story behind this video: a well loved World of Warcraft PVPer suffered a stroke, died and her guild decided to hold a memorial service for her in game. Note the orderly line to view the "corpse." A rival guild then decided to slaughter them all. If you want more information, Joe Rybicki has more.

It's caused a lot of outcry, but heartless sons of bitches that we are, we can't help but giggle. Leaving aside the fact that these maudlin expressions of grief are more about patting yourself on the back for caring than adult expressions of mourning and loss, let's put this in perspective. What more fitting tribute could there be to the life of a PVPer than a massive guild war erupting over her lifeless corpse? I'm a PvPer and I'd be damned proud to inspire that sort of carnage with my last life's breath.

Thanks to Glocker hegemon Joel for the tip! Tell us what jerk-offs we are in the comments!
