Hope the link works.

I know this is a very very sensitive matter but I'm aware he has a huge child fan base and I can't bare thinking some children could watch it.

For the record, for anyone that ever feels low, please know you are never alone. Talk to someone. My inbox is always open, in case you feel you have no oneThanks

The idiot that cemented his head in the microwave got a right bollocking from the emergency services for wasting their valuable time, he didn't die but many folks wished he had.

jitterbug5 · 02/01/2018 08:10

@BattleCuntGalactica they should fine him for wasting time!

Didn't the twat in the microwave complain about the emergency services (was going to sue them?) or something too? Not just a prat but a double prat.

LakieLady · 02/01/2018 08:16

Jitterbug, I get where you're coming from, but fining people for being stupid might just be a bit unfair!

MongerTruffle · 02/01/2018 08:20

I looked at the tags on the video and one of them was "comedy". Sad

WeirdAndPissedOff · 02/01/2018 08:21

It seems that either these people were awful people, or a combination of the fame and money, and the need to shock for it continue is making them that way.
I know it's unlikely, but can you imagine if a relative of the deceased's had seen that video?
It's just plain bizarre and disrespectful in general, regardless.

differentnameforthis · 02/01/2018 08:21

does say him laughing and smiling doesn't portray how he feels and that it's his coping mechanism. they always say that, don't they! Bloody idiots.

BattleCuntGalactica · 02/01/2018 08:24

He's getting ROASTED on Twitter for it, and rightly so.

jitterbug5 · 02/01/2018 08:40

@MongerTruffle ShockShockShock when you think it can't get worse!

OP posts:
jitterbug5 · 02/01/2018 08:43

@WeirdAndPissedOff I thought exactly the same!! The chances are low like you say, but it's a reminder that it is someone's relative!

All his laughing aside, I don't understand how he thought it was okay to show a dead body to the little kids that watch his channel?

Any video I've ever seen of his he has really young kids coming up to him. Not even young teenagers.

He blurred the man's face, but there was a close-up of his blue/black hands. Really awful.

Snowbelled · 02/01/2018 08:54

What a complete cunt. If the person who had died was in my family I would find him and force him to apologise to every single member of my family before beating the shit out of him.

jitterbug5 · 02/01/2018 08:58

@WunWun I think that's what bothered me most about the kids that went up to him at the end. They were really young! I'd say about 6? Surely, as they know him and wanted to meet him, it crossed his mind they would watch the very video he was recording?! If that makes any sense!

My teenage dd told me about that one yesterday, it was still on YouTube then. I didn't watch it but wasn't even fully sure it was real. Can't stand either Logan or Jake Paul, they're twats.

BattleCuntGalactica · 02/01/2018 09:36

I just can't imagine why they would want to go into the suicide forest in the first place. There have been films made about it, but not arseholes with a YouTube channel for comedy purposes. His apology is total BATWANK.

gunsandbanjos · 02/01/2018 09:50

What a total cunt, I can’t fathom the mindset that is required to think that that is ok.

That’s someone’s son, brother, father maybe who felt the only option they had was to end their life. And some wankpuffin is using it as entertainment? Beyond words.

MakeMisogynyAHateCrime · 02/01/2018 09:51

His key demographic is 8-13 and he is filming stuff like this?
The Paul brothers have had quite the impact on YouTube over the past 12-18 months but this is another level of disrespect and stupidity.

Sadly I don’t think this will impact his channel as the video reportedly had 550-600,000 likes and many millions of views before it was taken down.

And here I was thinking Jake Paul was the real idiot of their family.

metalmum15 · 02/01/2018 10:00

Yes, I thought Logan was the (only very slightly) better of the two. And don't even get me started on their Team 10 bunch of tosspots.

TheSecondOfHerName · 02/01/2018 10:01

DS3 (13) is a Logan Paul fan. I have sent DS3 a link to the BBC news article. I'm hoping that hearing about LP's behaviour in this video will make DS3 a bit more discerning.

DearMrDilkington · 02/01/2018 10:06

His whole YouTube channel should be shut down after that video. Absolutely disgusting.

jitterbug5 · 02/01/2018 10:56

@metalmum15 I've seen a few things about his brother. I hadn't heard of either of them until very recently! What did his brother do that made everyone hate him?

OP posts:
Idontevencareanymore · 02/01/2018 11:14

I've watched that video. I think his "excuse" for his reaction is valid. But he should have used his common sense the minute after he saw that poor man and turned the filming off. I'd say he got quite the shock coming across that person and didn't know what to do with himself. Total idiot.
But then again he should have researched the area he visited more thoroughly and realised that it's not known for being haunted without very very good reason and it was highly likely he'd come across a suicide.

Also seeing who his target audience is, the whole trip is pretty gross. It's not something to entertain us, let alone small children.
I really hope this teaches him a massive lesson.

slashlover · 02/01/2018 11:41

I can understand not knowing what to do at the time but he took the time to edit the video (including blurring his face), make the thumbnail, post a hype tweet before it was uploaded and then upload.

There are still people on twitter defending him.

MakeMisogynyAHateCrime · 02/01/2018 11:44

What gets me with this kind of thing is. Even if he filmed it through shock and not knowing what to do with himself (which I’m not sure is that case), he will have still at the very least watched it back and then maybe edited it or given notes to an editor as to what to include or remove.

Logan’s brother Jake has been involved in a number of YouTube scandals in 2017 including causing such havoc in his house that his neighbours contacted the police and news crew (his subsequent reaction to the news crew was something worth seeing to believe the levels of narcissism on offer). Him and his group of friends set fire to mattresses in their back garden, put their address online so hundreds of small kids turned up every single day. I believe legal action was taken and the fire brigade and other city agencies took action to prevent him filming in certain places.

He has also treated young women terribly.

He was sacked from his Disney show due to his grim behaviour.

Ratinthehat · 02/01/2018 11:47

That's my view too. Some people do laugh when they are shocked but to take the time to edit and put it online means he has had time to think about it and clearly is using this poor person to boost his ratings.

I've seen the guy with the microwaves follow up video (my dd thinks he's brilliant) Hmm and he is boasting how he is now getting more attention than he ever wanted. He apologises to the emergency services but is very happy with the resulting exposure. So this is the kind of mentality these people have.
