Are these for real?

Saw a few episodes of this on You Tube. And I have to ask how real these are? They can say what thy want, but not only are many of these pretty far fetched, but a lot of them would have made headlines, IE the stewardess sucked out of the airplane, cheerleader being trampled to death by football players, samurai car joust..I don't even know how to explain it. My point is that these would have made headlines, and I never saw them.

And if they are actual stories, it's pretty disrespectful, referring to pretty much every one of the victims as a "bitch" or an "idiot." Especially seeing as many of them aren't a result of stupidity, so much as freak accidents.

Sure. There's videos out there that show a lot of gore from stupid stuff, but you never hear about it in the media.

Watch the show itself. The deaths aren't always recent, decades to centuries old accidents/murders, so why would they be making headlines? Just because you haven't heard about it, doesn't mean it happen. Before each clip, as there are a few in every episode, the date and location is listed before it plays.
Regarding the names, I don't recall that every clip was disrespectful to the deceased. The last one I watched, for example, the wedding singer was drunk at the wedding he got paid to perform, insulting the bride and groom on their wedding day. In some instances, it was warranted. Or it could have been written as such to make the show less depressing?

Like most American shows, Im calling fake. Putting a date of the 'event' doesn't make it real.
