| Interesting Fact: This article contains an hero. |
Christine Chubbuck was a reporter on Channel 40 in Florida, who on July 15th, 1974, decided enough was enough and wanted to give her best (and subsequently her last) news cast, by becoming the first an heroine on live television. After an interview with some fucktards, she pulled out a revolver and shot herself in the head. Unfortunately, she didn't actually die until 14 hours later, which sort of made her doing it wrong.

[edit] How it all began
Obviously everyone wants the recognition of becoming an hero, including Christine, who when she was a child, heard about Hitler's suicide and thought it was simply win. After serious planning for 20 years, Christine moved to Florida and got a job as a television news caster and began plotting how it would all work out. During her time at the station, she fell in love with a hawt guy and baked him a cake, only to find out he already made one because he was gay. Being a homophobe, Christy was freaked out and went into a deep depression (a requirement of becoming an hero) and thought he turned gay because she was pretty ugly. She occasionally did puppet shows but they were completely fail so she just went on with her an hero plan.
[edit] The day of an heroine
After careful planning, Christy decided she would pwn herself on July 15th, because she wanted a day all to herself for An Heroine day (instead of April 20th). She bought herself a revolver and moar puppets and then after a news segment in the morning said on the airwaves: "In keeping with Channel 40's policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts, and in living color, you are going to see another first: an attempted suicide."
She then pulled out the gun and shot herself in the head at . The screen faded to black and her colleagues, being the retards they were, thought she was pulling a prank, even though there was blood all over the place. 20 minutes later someone got smart and realized she was actually pwnd by herself and brought her to the hospital. 14 excruciating hours later, Christy finally died but was sadly not given the day of an Heroine due to the fact that she was a woman an that she didn't die at the scene.
Too bad, young heroine, you were an inspiration to us all.
[edit] Footage of suicide
Shortly after her shooting, the video was destroyed along with her show, and replaced instead with Gentle Ben reruns. The actual footage can't be found, even if you look around the internets hard enough, and only those who saw it the day it happened got some lulz out of it. About 12 years later, Budd Dwyer found a copy of the footage in his desk and got his idea of self-pwnage from it. It was lost with the envelopes that he gave out, although he wanted people to see it on the future An hero day. Srsly, if you find it, plz show it to any suicidal kid for major lulz the internet.
