Sean,
You might have missed the irony of Stuart's remark - the
written equivalent of a sort of helpless shrug. A shaking 
of the head in disbelief that this sort of idiocy 
continues.

However, I take your point, and believe the magazine that 
publishes news or information about this stupidity, WITHOUT 
COMMENT, is guilty of condoning it. Or even promoting it.

The responsible way for specialist press to deal with
irresonsible idiocy is:

DIVERS DIE. YOU LOSE!

"Two British divers are trying to reach the pinnacle of 
mindless stupidity when they attempt to dive deeper than 
142 metres on air. The two divers involved, Mark Andrews 
and John Bennet, are a couple of clueless, long-stroke 
wankers. 

"There is enough evidence of the known toxicity of gasses
under pressure to ensure that anyone who helps these two
dickheads in their attempt is complicit in the crime of 
aiding a suicide and could (and should) face manslaughter 
charges.

"If they die on their attempt, we only care because it 
will add weight to the already considerable pressure 
diving, and especially technical diving, is under from 
legislators and insurance companies.

"On the other hand, Mark and John's deaths will raise the 
collective IQ of British divers by several points.

etc."
