This story still seems fishy. Has it really been confirmed?

Howard was talking about the NY Post article on the air the other day, and since he was asked by Artie's family to not comment he didn't end up reading it figuring people were going to find it on their own anyways. But he didn't deny that the article was false either.

Robin and Tim Sabian did say they actually went into see him, so he is alive and still in the hospital.

I have a hard time feeling sorry for them b/c if they read this in the paper about some random guy, they'd probably rip the guy apart for sucking so bad that he couldn't even kill himself right. Never found Artie very funny.

Wasn't a suicide attempt as it was more a cry for help. People who are serious about killing themselves will succeed.

They are the same thing.

Those who slit their wrists, drink poison, smother themselves, stab themselves, want to die at the moment they are committing these acts. Whether their self preservation mechanisms allow them to go through with it is another thing but emotionally most of these people don't want to live any more. The difference between living and dying in many of these cases is no more than a few millimetres or a few minutes difference on the ambulance arriving. But it's simultaneously also a "cry for help". As in 'help I can't take this any more'.

I haven't heard anything about this since it was first reported. What's going on with Artie now?

Wow, I completely forgot about it.

And this time read it as "Avril Lavigne attempts suicide"

he couldn't stab himself in the eye, then the neck to make sure? Or at least the neck, stab/slice and dice. People who want to really die should do it right.

I never understood how people fail to commit suicide. Is it that deep inside, they don't really want to do it, so they foil it? I can't imagine it being that hard to kill yourself if you really want to. There are so many ways to die, lot of them are quick and painless, such as a gun to the mouth.

Because there is still some part of them that wishes things could be fixed.

ROFL. He didn't commit suicide, if he did, he would be dead. He tried to kill himself. Semantics.

Sometimes God has other plans for you, I was in a mental hospital when I was a teen for major school problems. A ton of the patients in there had attempted suicide. One jumped off a fucking 5 story building, landed on concrete and lived. I'm pretty damn sure that wasn't a cry for help. I dunno how they lived. I'd say about half did it as a cry for attention - they'd OD on some weak over the counter drug knowing they wouldn't die. But there were some who went to extremes to die and still managed to make it out alive.

His family hasn't commented on it. The Stern show staff has been in touch with Artie but they aren't talking about it. Howard has stated that if Artie and his family want to comment to the media they can but he isn't talking about it out of respect for Artie and his family (namely, his mother and his sister).

Folks who fail at this really don't want to. They are looking for attention mostly. Those so far down the depression ladder to kill themselves rarely get enough to go to the bathroom let alone a plan to successfully murder themselves. This is actually why antidepressants are bad, folks get a ray of sunshine just enough to actually formulate a plot to off themselves.
Nonsense.

Fat people have poor work ethics. Of course he couldn't finish the job, no surprise.

my mom was fat. she worked almost every day of her life unless she was extremely sick. she graduated valedictorian in high school and top of her class at university of michigan. she has four degrees from the university of michigan and a master's from johns hopkins. she is currently the senior project manager of four nuclear power plants for the nuclear regulatory commission. she had half of her stomach removed due to bacterial ulcers and lost the weight.

care to change your thought process a little?

Let me guess, she was able to do all of that because of regular adjustments?

Yeah that's probably what it is. Sometimes people who were suicidal do end up turning their life around too and making something out of it.
