> “I just don’t understand the younger generation on trying to get their 15 minutes of fame.” That's a predictable statement from an older person, but I wonder how true it is - there have always people who have done stupid stunts to get into the Guinness record or at least the local newspaper, and many many have died from it. Are there more of these nowadays due to mediums like YouTube, or is it the same people doing it in a different medium?
