A kid broadcasts his death on your service, allegedly egged on by your community, and your CEO statement falls back on cut-and-paste boilerplate?

Do better. Fast.

Pills? If you're going to live broadcast your own death, make it more interesting than watching paint dry. Sheesh.

I'm guessing your day job involves creating content for greeting cards?

This is one of those critical moments that may well define how people think about this company in the future. As mentioned before, the CEO needs to do better, right away.

Just to clarify, I am referring to the response, not to the actual event.

God the media is going to try to blame Justin.tv for this. While the CEO's statement was bad, he was probably caught off guard and didn't know what to say. At least I hope that's what happened.
