Other examples:

Steve Irwin, the world renowned "Crocodile Hunter", was killed by a stingray attack durring filming for a new documentary on September 4th 2006. The news resulted in a flurry of new YTMND's ranging from tributes to mockeries.

As with the England Got Owned fad, there is no original YTMND or spinoffs; instead, there was a near simultaneous reaction to the news. The only consistent elements currently are images of Steve Irwin and/or stingrays; many of the sites are little more than screenshots of Internet news stories, with "RIP Steve Irwin 1962-2006" or similar text.

The current number of fad sites is hard to work out, a quick search of Steve Irwin YTMNDs can find over 230 sites with Steve Irwin in the title alone, most made less than 24 hours since the news broke.
