I'm a parent too, and that's exactly why I am glad his disgusting voice was silenced in the most public and ironic way possible.

    Sorry for ambiguity, I meant this in the context of Darwin award

    Ah yeah good edit, I wasn't even considering that you could have meant it that way.

    I decided to go look up the rules in order to contribute something more useful to this discussion, and it turns out that the mere presence of offspring does not disqualify one from the award!

    Given their reasoning, I think Kirk would qualify. And given that his whole brand was about spreading stupid dangerous ideas to everybody's kids including his own, and then he died in a spectacularly ironic and public way, I think he should actually win one!
