Nothing screams “ATTENTION WHORE” more than a person slitting his/her wrist, taking pictures and then showing them off on their blog.
If one is seriously bend on ending one’s life, they wouldn’t even bother bout taking pictures of the process. One may not have asked to be “tomorrowed”, but one can sure garner some attention by posting such pictures online.
Seriously, I thought Goth was dead (pun not intended). Goth don’t type with “!~”, and Goth won’t use template with shimmery cowheads, Goth will blog bout nothing ‘cept feeling emo half the time and self-composed bad poetries. Snap outta it, girl.
I don’t see the point of publishing such post on Tomorrow.sg. The person who recommended it said, “Blogging in Singapore has reach a new level”. So before this, there was nudity/p0rn on blogs. And blogging bout self-multilation is the current new level, huh?!
What’s next? Attention whorers helping one another to video-cam their fall to their deaths and upload the clip onto the internet?!
oh my. you summed it up so concisely! When i saw that post on Tomorrow.sg I was telling myself why in the blue moon those editors were so dumb to grant those attention whores their desires to be noticed! haiyo. these people should just commit suicide if they want to die, and stop faking it all and throwing a huge pity-party.

I was thinking it was a hoax, den realised it was real. Quite sad really, yet the photo taking showed a desire not to really die.

Am late to this little discussion but I really feel compelled to speak on behalf of the goth-girl.
I honestly don’t believe the girl “tomorrow-ed” herself, and her blog also appeared to be on a friends-only basis and not so public as many had so assumed. Yes she was probably very naive, but the editors of tomorrow.sg had to play their part too.
i’ve seen self-mutilators in the flesh, and too often people write them off as attention seekers, but some of them are really not. it’s quite sad, really.
