I'm pretty sure that suicide isn't a Darwin Award worthy exit. Oh well. Plenty of awards to go around.
WOW, what happened to the Darwin Awards?? I used to be able to look and laugh at the stories, but now they all seem to end in death. Yes, it is a stupid death, but still they use to be funny...like the woman who sued a bar for slipping on a drink....even though she was the one who threw the drink in the face of her boyfriend??
I looked for a "funny" one...but all ended in death...

A Darwin Award has only ever been given for actual death. The whole idea of it is to award people merit for ridding the human race of their reject DNA and thus fostering the evolution of our species towards increased intelligence. The stories are funny because they have that element of sardonic humor. You must have been thinking of something else if you recall them not ending in death.
Darwin gives an honourable mention if you don't die, but should have died due to your stupidity. The lawn chair guy who tied the weather balloons to the chair and had to be saved by a helicopter is an example of a Darwin honourable mention. He lived due to being saved but for all intents and purposes should have died from such a stupid endeavor.
But again, if someone commits suicide that isn't an unintentional death due to stupidity, so I don't recall their being an award for that.

has anyone seen that '1000 ways to die' show on spike tv? it sounds gruesome, and it is, but it's also surprisingly educational. like one guy shot at his friend to scare him, and the friend jumped away, hit the ground, and was dead on the spot. turned out he fell right onto a rattlesnake. the snake bit him on the chest with enough venom to stop his heart. then they get a few rattlesnake experts and cool graphics.
or the 'locked in the freezer' death. gave a timeline of how quickly you cool down and your physical reactions to the cold. it was also kind of neat that right before a person actually dies from the cold, they get a burst of warmth that literally makes them strip down because they feel so hot in their last moments.
