I dug into it a bit further, and apparently the story is that the Darwin Awards used to be more crowd-sourced, but as a direct result of the incident I'm referring to, they instituted heavy moderation and apologized for any distress caused by their seeming approval of a tasteless article. So it's a little more forgivable than I realized. My opinion gelled back when the story was still in progress, but I didn't hear about the conclusion.

If you want to read the details, just google "aggie bonfire", or "darwin award aggie bonfire".
