Coroner: Ryan Dunn's Death Was Violent
While the toxicology results could take four to six weeks, the Chester County Coroner provided the other results of the autopsy performed on Ryan Dunn and his passenger Zachary Hartwell. They both died very violent deaths and they were more than likely dead before help arrived.
The police believe the car was traveling at 100+ MPH at the time of the wreck and the coroner said that the impact was so violent that it could not be determined if they died from the wreck or the fire that followed.

Roger Ebert Apologizes and Clarifies Tweet
Roger Ebert took to his website and posted the following apology in what appears to be directed to Bam as Ebert writes the apology after first posting the two tweets from Bam.
To begin with, I offer my sympathy to Ryan Dunn's family and friends, and to those of Zachary Hartwell, who also died in the crash. I mean that sincerely. It is tragic to lose a loved one. I also regret that my tweet about the event was considered cruel. It was not intended as cruel. It was intended as true.
I have no way of knowing if Ryan Dunn was drunk at the time of his death.
He then goes on to attempt to clarify what he meant by his tweet.
What did I mean by that? I meant exactly what I wrote. I wasn't calling Ryan Dunn a jackass. In Twitter shorthand, I was referring to his association with "Jackass." I thought that was clear. I note that Bam Margera uses the word "jackass" in the same way in his tweet.
I think what Mr. Ebert has done here is the right thing to do. He is absolutely entitled to his opinion but I believe his tweet was too soon given that all of the facts haven't come out and clarification was definitely needed as the tweet was taken as offensive by Ryan's loved ones. You can read his entire apology and clarification here.

Ryan Dunn's passenger Identified
He is 30 year old Zac Hartwell. According to police, Dunn appears to have been traveling at a high rate of speed when he tried to take an exit at around 2:30 a.m. near Pottstown Pike and lost control, went airborne over the guardrail, and collided with a tree. The impact resulted in the vehicle bursting into flames.
"Our officers tried to get to the vehicle, but could not do that and shortly after they pulled back, the gas tank exploded," West Goshen Police Chief Michael Carroll said.
Both Dunn and Hartwell were killed. Investigators say both bodies were burned badly.
Bam Margera Speaks Out

Here is what Bam had to say: "I just lost my best friend, I have been crying hysterical for a full day and piece of s**t roger ebert has the gall to put in his 2 cents about a jackass drunk driving and [he is] one, f**k you!"
"Millions of people are crying right now, shut your fat f**king mouth!"

More on Ryan Dunn
TMZ has obtained pictures (from June 12) of Ryan Dunn's Porsche 911 GT3, which they claim had special racing rims and was capable of hitting 190 MPH.
Also Roger Ebert disrespectful Tweet:
While it has been reported the Dunn was out drinking prior to the accident there is mixed reports on how intoxicated he may have been. I think its a little to early to blame the booze although they may have ultimately played a role in the crash its too soon for this type of comment.
Johnny Knoxville and others from Jackass have commented via twitter and Knoxville had this to say:
"Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn. My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie." "RIP Ryan , I love you buddy."

IS REALITY TV MAKING US DUMBER?!
Everywhere you look, networks are showing reality television. Say so long to the news which was everyone's first taste of reality, and look for reality shows to get you in tuned with the biggest stories of the day.
Many would like to argue that MTV's The Real World which debuted in 1992 was the first of its kind featuring seven strangers picked to live in a house and have their lives taped. The concept was intriguing because there was no scripted dialogue, just viewers peering into the lives of people they don't know. The formula for this new take on reality helped paved the way for many reality shows to date. It seems that nowadays, reality shows are overtaking the sitcom shown on daily television because not only can it be more interesting with all the drama that is featured, but it's less costly to networks. Stars of reality shows are not professionals, so they don't need to be paid a professional salary per season, or a certain amount of money per episode until they really hit it big.
I admit, I am a person who loves watching reality shows and yes I do not watch any sitcoms at all...well maybe just one: Degrassi. If you know me, you would know that I watch four major networks: E!, Bravo, VH1, and MTV. So what if I watch all the seasons of The Real Housewives, Fantasy Factory, Teen Mom, or Basketball Wives?! Many would argue that the reason why I do enjoy watching these shows is because I want to live that lavish lifestyle, but I don't and there's really no explanation. I like what I like and that's it.
Sure sometimes when I catch myself glued to the television for a few hours to watch all the reality shows on different networks, I feel pretty dumb knowing I took time out of my day to catch every episode. That's why I started taking up reading again to make sure I get the right balance of television and mental stimulation. Of course there are educational programs featured on television, but I don't go looking for them if I'm not interested. I can't help being attracted to entertainment in all aspects, and I feel that blogging daily keeps the brain juices flowing as well.
So is reality television making us dumber as a human race? I don't think anything is wrong with watching it unless you factor it into your life. For instance, many people are obsessed with The Kardashians and the Jersey Shore cast. There should be a level of boundaries of liking reality TV and being obsessed about people who are just like you and me. One thing to keep in mind is that reality stars don't have special talents, because they aren't professionals. We, the viewers are the ones making these stars into celebrities, so it's all in our hands when you think about it.
Haven't you noticed that reality shows are repeating themselves too? Like how many singing/dancing competitions can you have? Or fashion styling/designing competitions? Or football/hip-hop/basketball wives? Or weightloss/extreme makeover? Or housewives/househusbands? Show creators keep creating these shows because they know the American public will feed into it. With an economy that's not so great right now leaving many unemployed, it's no wonder that reality shows are very popular among the masses because it not only paints a facade for how we want our lives to be like, but it gives us hope that we can escape our problems and succeed in life.

MTV SHOW "SKINS" CANCELLED AFTER ONE SEASON
The MTV show SKINS caused a lot of controversy in the media due to its explicit content regarding children who are minors. The show that is geared heavily towards sex, drug and alcohol abuse amongst teenagers was real, but maybe a little too real.
MTV says, "Skins is a global television phenomenon that, unfortunately, didn’t connect with a US audience as much as we had hoped. We admire the work that the series’ creator Bryan Elsley did in adapting the show for MTV, and appreciate the core audience that embraced it."
This version of Skins adapted after the original UK version did have a lot to live up to. But after the first episode, the show was already receiving backlash regarding it's mature content for young viewers. Despite low ratings, the show faced criticism from many parental groups which also led to many advertisers for the show pulling their ads due to racy content. I wasn't into this show like I thought I would so I'm not surprised many viewers didn't care for it either. The show seemed like it was done a bit trashy, and lacked any uplighting message. I know it's about showcasing the real dilemmas teenagers go through, but to have it be centered around a negative light gets old very quickly. I preferred Degrassi a lot more as a teenage type soap opera that did address adult/teenager content while also providing valuable lessons from each episode. After "X" number of seasons, it's clear that Degrassi connects more to audiences because it is still around creating new seasons.
