Press Conference

A synonym for suicide. Origin comes from Budd Dwyer, a former Pennsylvania politician who, on the morning of January 22, 1987, committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth with a revolver during a televised press conference.

"Man, my girlfriend just left me, my dog died, and there's no way to get a Rock Band pre-order for launch day. I'm thinking about holding a press conference."
