I feel I should point out that a lot of "Darwin award winners" (there's actually an organization that's trademarked "Darwin award," and most of the lists circulating on the internet aren't from them) aren't right in the sense that they cannot be documented. They are merely stories someone made up because it seems to be human nature to find them funny.

The earliest I can actually document the use of other humans' suffering for entertainment is Ancient Rome, but I'm sure it's older than that, or else the Romans wouldn't have done it on such scale. Is it right? Personally, I don't think so. Then again, I am myself entertained by fictional tales of other people's suffering, so what can I say?
