Well, someone has to invent the suicide booths featured in Futurama. Might as well be him.

I really want to trust you're throwing a dark joke up but the sheer concept of suicide booths is a very harsh critique at a failed society. A very failed society. For it to become a joke...Call me square but that is a joke haimed to who laughs on it.

It’s a joke but a suicide booth isn’t that bad, assisted pain free death is a right everyone should have.

But having it on a street corner for ease of access is pretty fucked
