Quite possibly a "snuff" film?

"if you would like to kill yourself send us an e-mail and we'll film it!"

A couple decided to push the boundries of reality filmmaking by setting up a website and offering depressed and lonely people the chance to become immortalized on film in their last breath. They were amazed by the sick and demented ways that people wanted to kill themselves. Just as you will be amazed as you try to decide whether these are really amazing special effects or something much, much more disturbing!

US military deaths in Iraq war at 4,085Hitting Home

Body of Marine killed in Iraq expected to arrive home Wednesday

The body of a 20-year-old Marine from Waterbury who died in Iraq is expected to arrive home Wednesday.

Marine Cpl. Christian S. Cotner, of Crescent Street, died last Friday in Al Anbar province in what the Department of Defense is calling a "non-hostile incident." A brief official release states the military is investigating Cotner's death.

Cotner was part of the III Marine Expeditionary Force based in Okinawa, Japan.

On Monday, Gov. M. Jodi Rell ordered flags to half staff until after the conclusion of services for Cotner, the details of which have not been finalized.

Mayor Michael J. Jarjura said Cotner's body is expected to arrive at Bradley International Airport on Wednesday. Local police will help escort Cotner and his grieving family back to the city, Jarjura said.

Cotner was a field radio operator, and had earned several citations, including: the national defense service medal, global war on terrorism medal, sea service deployment ribbon and meritorious mast.

Just because it's a beautiful song,and the breeze is perfect...

I'm so in love with you
Whether it is right or it's wrong
I'm too weak to be strong
I'm so in love with you
Well you say you need something
To help you when you're down, to take your fears away
Yeh you say you'd do anything
To keep your feet off the ground
And help you on your way
You're all I need
Yeh you are all that I need
I'm so in love with you
I'm so in love with you
Whether it is right or it's wrong
I'm too weak to be strong
I'm so in love with you
When you see your reflection
You say it isn't you
Then you turn the other way
And I'm watching you suffer
Yourself and your pain
Please don't fade away
