The second link isn't working.

Gah, I hate Heelies. I saw a boy wearing those things just plow over his little brother (probably 3 years old) in the parking lot once. That had potential to really suck!

But . . . you're cheering for death? Death by Heelies is rather sad (and . . . weird).

The links are the same thing. Since Yahoo links tend to break to pieces, I added the tinyurl.

*MOD NOTE - It was a simple matter of putting the closing URL tag in the right place at the end of the link, rather than right in the middle of the link.
Both links work now.

I have to agree. I hate it just as much as anyone else when kids use them where they shouldn't, but cheering about them getting hurt and killed is just not cool. And I don't think it's something we want here.
