this chick is gonna kill herself in 90 days

[D J 1 3 8]

or so she claims
she is either doing a social experiment for some college course
or she is hoping for a book/movie deal
or both
or it's just another dumb hoax

you make the call

http://www.90dayjane.blogspot.com/

if she actually goes through with it, she will have my respect for at least keeping her word.
even GG Allin pussied out and OD'd at the last minute, rather than kill himself on stage on Halloween as he always boasted he would do

if this catches on, could be an interesting and/or frightening trend of public martyrdom, where internet users place bets on the outcome

[Armento]

wow..

i always had doubts about people who play Halo.

I think her icon says it all, "attention whore".

If she even made any bit of a concerted effort to coodinate this, would she have to be taken into custody by police for being a threat to herself?

[islandlover]

so sad

[Chris Wood]

a major wtf... hell if people want to do this then they can do it for all I care tbh - the main thing is that they don't affect anyone else in the process; exactly the opposite of what this blog has done...

[Terry James]

the 90 days= Feb 5

She didn't do sh*t!

Then I got this email from a HUGE television network.

"Can we make this happen very soon?"
Wow, and people think I'm morbid...


I think whoever sent that email (if it's real) is crazier than she is. If this is Attention Whorism I am impressed, she has risen the bar.

[deepsouth]

doesn't look like a countdown to me. looks like 90 days is up, without a post on the 90th day. my money is on "she didn't do it".

attention whore is the other thought that comes to mind.

this is so cool.

Since you asked for suggestions on how to "do the deed", I offer you this:

Over the next ninety days, spend your time selling and giving away everything you own. Sell until you have enough to get yourself a plane ticket to where you're going. Give the rest away.

Over the next ninety days, figure out where the destination of the plane trip is going to be. I suggest somewhere where there is an aids hospital, leprosy clinic, orphanage, etc. While these sorts of places are most prominent in the poorer parts of Africa, India, etc, they can be found anywhere. The important part is to pick one far from where you are now.

When the day comes to "do the deed", leave your life with nothing except the clothes on your back. Let "you" die. Devote whatever breath your body still holds to serving the people who have had a worse lot in life than you did, before you died.

What more fulfilling way to "die" than to end your life serving others? What better "after life" than to be reborn as a samaritan, selflessly improving the lives of people who cannot help themselves?

great post!

F**king hurry up, make sure you do it on a Saturday when we can have all day to watch it on TV, do it off a tall building, perhaps during the Oscars, I want to see broken bones and ripped flesh and bits of skull splattering all over celebs dresses.

Police are insisting the deaths of two cousins from Bridgend are not linked to 14 apparent suicides in the area over the past year.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7248213.stm

Social networking websites could be "romanticising" suicide, an MP claims after the deaths of seven young people from her area in the past year.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7204172.stm


When I was growing up we didn't have time to think about suicide, we spent all our time trying to survive, this was during the time of Britians highest unemployment.

Seems odd, that now we've in a time of low unemployment, shit like this happens. I think it has more to do with Bridgend in Wales than that bebo webiste though.

90 Day Jane Not Killing Herself,
Not As Hot As You Hoped
http://gawker.com/356131/90-day-jane-not-killing-herself-not-as-hot-as-you-hoped
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->http://gawker.com/assets/resources/2008/02/90-day-jane-on-radar.jpg90 Day Jane (http://gawker.com/355306/in-90-days-this-girl-will-kill-herself), the blogger who promised to commit suicide in 90 days, won't.
She made the site as an art project, figuring only some friends would see it because people usually aren't drawn
to dramatic stories on the Internet. While Jane hasn't revealed her true identity, Radar Magazine (http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2008/02/90-day-jane-a-living-breathing-hoax.php) thinks they found
her at a blog named Void (http://trappedinthevoid.blogspot.com/), running the photo and caption shown here. Anyway, after Jane outed herself on the blog,
she shut the whole thing down. We saved the confessional post below, in which Jane thanks her readers for being
"real and heartfelt" and gives props to all of you who asked her to flash some tit.








<HR></HR>90DayJane is a personal art piece about me. It was meant for me and
(what I ignorantly thought would be) a small number of people who
might find it on BlogSpot. It is the result of me tapping into the
darkest part of myself and seeing where it led.
What I have written and filmed, at its core, is from a place of truth.
I am the girl in the videos. I have great disappointment with my
generation and its obvious obsession with celebrity culture rather
than their fellow man, thus the former Chuck Palahniuk reference.
I wanted this blog to be about personal discovery and truth. But the
correspondences I have received have taught me more about those
qualities than I could ever express. 90DayJane has become its own
entity and has influenced me. In fact, it has changed my perspective
as a human being.
I feel a massive sense of responsibility to my art, but more
importantly the readers of this blog. My closeness to this project
must have made art seem like reality to many people. That is not a
reaction that I expected nor can I morally justify. This is why my
project, 90DayJane, will be taken down in the next few hours.
90DayJane was meant to mirror the tragic figure, Christine Chubbuck.
Newscaster Christine Chubbuck committed suicide in 1974 by shooting
herself in the head live on air. She was very vocal about her
depression to those around her and gave every indication of her exact
intentions leading up to the event. Sadly, no one reacted or helped
Christine and those left behind could only ask "why".
Her story both inspired and terrified me because I can truly empathize
with her rage and even her isolation. I wondered how Christine's life
and subsequent suicide would play out in our time. Would the internet
be yet another place of isolation to her or an escape? If she remained
vocal about her intentions would anyone bother asking "why" or even
noticing before the fact? Would the reaction (if any) of the public
change her intentions?
I thought this mirror might reflect the isolation everyday people feel
and the lack of true human connection on the internet.
It is my feeling that the internet is the best and worst example of
human interaction. This was painfully proven to me by reading every
comment and every email. I believe I owed that to everyone. I know we
all saw the dark side of the reactions in the blog comments. There was
so much hate, immaturity and apathy. But, I truly wish everyone could
see the beauty and honesty in the emails; many people feel like Jane
(me). People have been more real and heartfelt than I thought was
possible. I owe them a debt of gratitude for showing me the difference
between people's reactions and their true feelings. I understand.
I do want everyone to know that I accepted no money for 90DayJane
despite multiple offers from television, film, books, etc... I will
not release my identity and I ask not to be contacted for any type of
promotion. I want only for the people who wrote to me to know that I
hear them and feel the same way. Your emails touched me so much.
Please, share your thoughts with someone in your life or express them
in a positive way.
To everyone, please reach out to those around you. It's much harder to
ask for help than to offer it.

In the video above I created a PostSecret revealing this project for
what it is. I am in no way affiliated with them, but their site does
great work for suicide outreach. At any rate, PostSecret gives me both
strength and perspective whenever I read it. I hope it does the same
for you.
thx- 90DayJane
