The short of it: He basically hooks himself up to an electric chair for 6 hours a day and opens a poll. If at the end of the day, the polls report that more people have voted for him to die, the electric chair will kill him. And the chair works because he was burned by it during equipment testing. He'll be doing this all week.

What a crazy son of a ****...

I don't even want to hea-

Wait, if that's the case...

Well I've done my part....

Hope /b/ doesn't get a hold of this. >_>

[Gaffit]

My question: What does he do for the six hours? That has to be a seriously freaky experience. Would you play a DS or something. Those might be the last six hours of your life...

[Esh]

Sit in silence and wait for death.... Feels bad man....

[Ƨɒlƚy]

Ballsy.

[Esh]

So who here has actually voted?

[Ahriman]

It'll be quite something if he ends up dead from this. Even on the internet I don't think most people will directly push someone to their death. Not even /b/ would do that.

More to the point, I don't think /b/ would care enough to go through the trouble of paying for his death.
