Take a look at this article from theonion.com

It's a satirical newspaper website - pretty funny. Any pilots out there should really appreciate the humor. This article is how some dude wants to fly a helicopter and doesn't want to learn about his instruments.

Haha. Well, the site it came from is a comedy site - so luckily, there wasn't truth in it. Hopefully, the guy that wrote it doesn't actually think any of that.

It doesn't sound satiriical to me

The article was written by a Bob Khutz..... or should that be Klutz ???

Guys like him not only kill themselves, they plow into a 747 and take
a bunch with him.

Woah - guys... several of you seem to be missing the fact that the article is a total joke. It's a humorous piece, that's all. I thought it was a damn funny one, at that.

My favorite Newspaper!
I look forward to this paper every week to make me laugh when I am reading it on the Metro- A few months back the '07 Pug Recall front page story caught my eye as I went by and I laughed until I had tears reading it.
