Celebrity Deaths (updated weekly)

I don't see a need for that. Seeing as how everyone (with one possible exception) agrees with this simple statement of FACT.

Let's just agree to agree and leave it at that. Besides we're wondering pretty far away from the topic.

The topic is Jerry Falwell is dead. Is he in hell with Dean Martin, limbo with all the unbaptized babies, or heaven with that guy from Nightcourt?

My internet's been messed up all day until about an hour ago... but let me just say...

HELL YES HE DESERVED TO DIE AND I HOPE HE BURNS IN HELL!

Seriously, I know it's not the nicest thing to disrespect the dead, but we're talking about a hypocrite, a bigot and a hate-monger. I won't "go there" like some people have and compare him to Vlad Tepes, Hitler, Mao, Mussolini or any number of actual mass-scale murderers through history, but if we didn't have the lovely (and endangered) concept of separation of church and state in these United States, I probably could make that connection.

At any rate, good riddance to bad rubbish. And some advice to everyone associated with Falwell and his interests: make sure you super glue the quarters on his eyes, because even though he's dead, he'll still try to pocket them.

I made my opinions clear about how I treat death back when Anna Nicole died, so I won't say I'm glad he died. And even if I did think that way, I'd have to realize that there are a hundred other guys just like Falwell and his death isn't going to change much of anything.

What I will say is that the man was a sad and ignorant person. I do believe that he actually loved people, but his own ignorance turned his love into hate. We can only be happy that his legacy will be one of stupidity and that others may look at his views as archaic and destructive.

It's important that you do. Aside from its ideas, relevance, and iconic status in our culture.... it's also a thumpin' good read.

I think I read it next year in AP English, as well as "Slaughterhouse 5".

Maybe, but I thought reincarnation had rules against coming back as the same thing you just died as. You're supposed to move up the chart. Like a mouse becomes a cat, and a cat becomes a dog, and a dog becomes a genetically engineered dinosaur from the future.

So wouldn't Falwell take a step up and become a steaming pile of crap.

Look at you being all mature and whatnot.

It doesn't work for you. Say something ridiculous, quickly!

Yeah, it was just a joke since the thread was started during a particularly fertile time for dead celebrities. Wouldn't mind if it was changed though.

Saying 'fertile time' and 'dead celebrities' in the same sentence is rather cruel, don't you think?

Or did you mean to imply that the dead celebrities themselves were having fertile times, and therefore there was much famous zombie-sex?

No, I was being cruel.

(though I can't imagine celebrity zombie-sex being uncruel)

I'm gonna be all over Slaughterhouse 5 this August. I figure I'll kick off the summer by re-reading Half-Blood Prince, leading up to the 7th book on the 21st, then hit Vonneget in August right before I enter Promethea-ville.

I want to read a book a week this summer. Philip K. Dick, Vonnegut, and a bunch of other stuff.

Dumb Dora was so dumb that when the doctor told her she had the clap, she went to the bathroom and washed her BLANK.

I was gonna say, my dad even figured it out and he's still firmly refusing to believe Raymond Burr and George Takei's being gay.

Ha!

The best thing about old gay people (like Tab Hunter), for me, is how it was such an "open secret" back in the day. Everyone knew but no one really cared. I mean, I know times weren't great for homosexuals back then, but it's so interesting some of the most famous people in the world could be gay and no one would botehr them.

Now it's like "OMG! Doogie Hauser's a queer!"

Its still kind of like that, to a degree. I expect DSF's activist-sense is tingling, but there's quite a few actors especially who everyone knows, but it isn't really talked about. Kevin Spacey is one.

Then you've got people like John Travolta.

I guess. . . it's mostly just weird to hear such. . . tolerance from old people.

Like watching a movie with your grandma and she's like "Oh, that Rock Hudson was gay" like just a normal fact.

I expect uneducated hate-filled rampages about such things, but no. . .
