SHARKS FAN KILLED BY SHARK
05.01.08
This is San Jose Sharks fan Adrian Ruiz, celebrating after he got tickets to Game 3 of last year's Western Conference Semifinals. The AP contrasted this happy-good-times photo with this news:
Ruiz, 24, a surfer, was killed by a shark attack off the coast of Mexico. Ruiz was surfing at Trancones beach off the Pacific coast of Mexico on Monday, April 28, 2008 when he was bitten by a gray shark on his right thigh.
Way to kill the party, AP. Sheesh, the people at the Ironic Death Department must have stayed up all night working on this one. As a Mariners fan, it makes me afraid that I'm going to get raped to death by drunken sailors. I think I'll avoid deepwater ports for a while.

This keeps alive my hope of one day seeing Curt Shilling strangled to death by a blood-red sock.
Great…now I know that I'm going to die after white socks cut off my circulation.
As a Colts fan… well… let's just say I no longer feel safe meeting Buzz Bissinger at the barn.
As a Yankee fan, I fear the thought of being shot by a bunch of crazed husbands for banging their wives, or being gang raped by a gang shemales on steroids from the A-Rod fan club.
"gang of shemales
/hands were shaking
irony can be so ironic. In other news, a Calgary fan died in a fire.
True Story: Roberto Clemente and Thurman Munson were big Jets fans.
As a fan of the Milwaukee Bucks, I am now terrified of Buck Williams.
Well, thats what happens when you get wrapped up in these white-boy sports. You mess around and get eaten by a shark. He should have been on the basketball courts, where he could have been shot and die like a vato!
@Hugh
And Stevie Ray Vaughn was a fanatical NY Jets fan.
also a Jet fan: Cory Lidle.
Winnipeg jets?
At times like this, it's good to be a Chiefs fan. America already solved that threat a hundred years ago. USA! USA! USA!
Sadly, however, there are no other times when it's good to be a Chiefs fan.
Stevie Ray Vaughn died in a helicopter crash.
@terp210
That makes him a Blackhawks fan.
This is precisely why I stopped rooting for the Omaha State Hemorrhoids.
As a fan of Ron Jeremy's oeuvre, and the ladies he sticks it in, i am now weary of hedgehogs.
that really sucks, kind of ironic though!!

I've considered cutting ties with the Springfield Aids Infected Needles in the past, but this really makes my decision easy. I'm done with them!
Rumor has it ARod is fanatical about the South Carolina Cocks.
(Sorry…last one.)
Makes sense seeing that Steve Olin and Tim Crews were both Clippers fans.
Everyone aboard the Columbia Space Shuttle were Houston Rockets fans.
The Menendez Parents were Twins fans.
I'm a Witchita State Shockers Fan first and foremost. There is no irony there, I love to fingerbang baby!!!
Harry Houdini was an Orlando Magic fan.
/I'm done…sorry.
Christopher Reeve was a big supporter of the Windy City Rollers.
Wait for it…Roy is a Tigers fan. Too bad Tigers never get the fucking job done.
It was fate that I would start following the minor-league Schaumburg Cancer.
At least as a Sabres fan, I get impaled with a fucking sword and die an honourable death.
I heard Michael Hutchence was found with Sorland Stranglers tickets in his pocket
Go Leafs Go.
No one mentioned that Steve Irwin was a Devil Rays fa……OUCH!
I just got tomahawk chopped fucking in the head!
I think I remember reading somewhere that Hemingway was a pretty big Arsenal fan.
Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson always used Trojans!
@Bob
That was classic…very nice!!
Thousands of Phoenix b-ball fans have died from skin cancer.
So I'm going to die on the toliet, just like I've always hoped.
Go Browns!
Linguistics police alert:
That's not irony, that's coincidence. If a sharks fan was killed by a shark playing hockey – now that would be irony.
Dan Snyder was a big Pistons fan.
Little known fact: Bon Scott? Huge Ottawa Senators fan. Because they ALWAYS choke.
Well done withleather bloggers, well done.
That's all most as funny as "Flyers killed in air disaster." Wait, did that happen yet? Stupid space-time continuum…
My mom knew this kid. I think that what t3minator said was very mean. A person DIED! His dad is very sad and my mom knows his dad.
