Jerk du Soleil

Five bucks says he was loaded and jumped.

UPDATE (8/10): Yeah, that was a safe bet.

THEN:

A fan reacts after falling from the upper deck onto onto the netting behind home plate during the eighth inning at Yankee Stadium Tuesday Aug. 9, 2005 in New York.


NOW:

Harper told three friends he was sitting with that he was going to test whether the net would hold his weight -- and then he jumped, police said.


The story doesn't mention anything about his state of sobriety, or lack thereof, so I guess the jury's still out on that count. Funny thing is though, from what I've seen and read, kids today are in fact this stupid all on their own. When I was 18-years-old, we required alcohol, and lots of it, to do stupid shit like this.
