Ah it looks like the Darwin award comment got deleted by our newly sensitive Gothamist editors. Thus, in case anyone missed it, here is the definition of a Darwin Award: "The Awards honor people who ensure the long-term survival of the human race by removing themselves from the gene pool in a sublimely idiotic fashion" And yes, jumping out of a moving car and landing upon ones small brain to avoid the danger of a slightly buzzed driver qualifies. It was too bad she was a breeder indeed, as she could have saved her crackbabies 20 years of cognitive therapy.

Whitecastlerock, you expected better from MFer? Especially anyone who brings up a Darwin Award. Those people feel good about themselves by laughing that they haven't made fatal mistakes. It's all schadenfreude to them. Why should they care about the four newly motherless kids?

I'm confused. If she died when she hit the ground, how does anyone know that she jumped out because she thought he was drunk? Were there others in the car? Was she on the phone with someone? Perhaps if I read the linked stories, this will make some more sense?

.058 is not drunk or DUI, that begins at .08. Was the one pound bag a little light? The woman watched too much TV thinking that she could jump out of moving car. Even if it's going 10 MPH that is going to hurt. Especially if you are stoned or drunk.

Wait until the car stops at a light to jump out.

Dum-dum-head! Only thing I disagree is that Darwin Award should be off-limits to those who already procreated. Ah, sensitivity. Rhymes with Nativity. Which sounds like naivete. The world would be a lot better if we didn't pay lip service to being nice only during the holidays. Though I think better a world full of curmudgeons than one full of do-gooders.

.... Perhaps they should check Bucherri's blood alcohol level as well.
