Red bull is an evil company. Fuck their PR stunts.

At least 20 athletes sponsored by Red Bull or taking part in Red Bull events have died in training; while participating in their sport; or in circumstances related to their sport. The youngest was Toriano Wilson, a 14-year-old boy who was hit by another rider during a Red Bull motorcycle event in 2008.

Servus TV is a TV station based in Wals-Siezenheim in the Austrian state of Salzburg and owned by Red Bull Media House GmbH, a subsidiary of Red Bull GmbH ... It is politically aligned with the far right.

Wait. You mean a cheap, hype-driven stimulant product with unregulated "proprietary" and/or intentionally obtuse compounds claiming to grant superpowers, et al, and wildly marketed as a powerful refreshment only the most heroic mortals could be capable of enjoying casually... is tied to white supremacism?

Extreme sports do kill people, I guess that's part of the appeal for people who are into that kind of thing.
