Girl Shorts Jump From Roof To Pool, Breaks Both Feet, Her Mother Wants Internet Viewers To Foot Bill

This video hit the web earlier this week. In it, young Nicole Easton, a recent high school graduate, is seen attempting the simple feat of jumping from the roof to the pool, a move many of us I’m sure have completed successfully before. She hesitated right before springing herself out from the roof. She didn’t make it. She hit concrete. Hard.

It was funny. Well, it’s still funny, but in light of the news that this chick broke both feet in the process, a little wind was taken out of the proverbial sails.

Macklemore, huh? Real original, guys. That song was popular like two weeks ago. Get with the times.

Now, what if I told you that the girl’s mother was actually the one that uploaded the video to the internet? What does that do for you? Is that something you’d be interested in? Does it put a little bit of that lost wind back in your sails? It does mine. I’m like Christopher Columbus right now with all this wind behind me. Shit’s hilarious.

Adding to this already humiliating chain of events for young Nicole, it is now revealed that her mother Carrie uploaded the video — to a fundraising website called GoFundMe — in an attempt to gain viewers and raise money to pay the hospital bill, all $4,200 of it.

From Carrie, via GoFundMe:

Nicole is expected to be disabled for at least 6 months to a year. She’s in a wheel chair. Not taking it very well I might add. The issue is that Nicole had just moved into her first house with the best roommates. Nicole not being able to work can’t pay her share of the bills. This threatens not only her losing her place to live, but her roommate’s as well. Their credit too.

This will not go well for you, ma’am. You haven’t yet been introduced to Anonymous Internet Commenter, have you? If there’s one thing he loves, it’s viral internet videos. If there’s one thing he hates, it’s a handout, and if it’s another, it’s everything he’s ever read or viewed on the internet. He’s going to shred you.

Too late. He already did.

She has raised $60 so far on her way to $4,200. Nice start! I’m going to toss a suggestion your way, Carrie. Raise that forty-two hundo up to whatever it will cost for a year of psychological rehabilitation for Nicole to recover from this embarrassing debacle.

    Ironically, a few shots may have helped her in this fateful endeavor. Would’ve given her the confidence to not bail out two seconds too late. That’s Vladimir for ya, always looking out for our well-being.

    You’re 18, toots. You need money, do porn. You’ve got a decent enough enough rack for it and it doesn’t matter if your ankles are broken when they’re just resting on some guy’s shoulders. I’ll gladly donate 10 bucks in exchange for some solid missionary action. I’ll even throw in another 20 if you take it up the ass.

    That mom seems like a freeloading, weirdo liberal. Not sure about the girl. Is she hot?

      It’s hard to tell from the video. Her silhouette appears fit and the jiggling of her bikini suggests at least a C cup but it’s too distant and poorly lit to judge the face. Further evidence is needed before a ruling can be made.

    Setting up a fundraiser for someone to pay your hospital bill? That’s almost as stupid as trying to get people to donate for you to make a shitty movie.

    Whoever told that stupid girl there was an oven at the bottom of that pool is a real asshole.

    Here’s a tip; if you cant afford health insurance, you can’t afford to be a goddamn idiot. I pay my insurance specifically so I can fall down stairs and jump off roofs and pay $50 for it to get fixed. You gotta pay to ride on the drunken dare train, sweetheart.

      No, I have a really low copay and excellent insurance. That’s what happens when you have really good health insurance that covers essentially everything. Educate yourself, son.

      because people can’t get hurt on accident-like the people at the Boston Marathon..
      I’m sure it’s their fault
      And you obviously know nothing about insurance
      If you file too many claims, your premiums go up and you get dropped and there’s a record of that and no one is going to want to pick you up
      Someone fell asleep during Risk, Management, and Insurance
