Just you wait until Spectre X gets home, he'll know how to deal with you!

, though.

It was confirmed?

http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/...123&page=1

what in the name!?

[pjalne]

Obituary forms

[pjalne]

What the fuck, they have these lying around ready to update whenever people die? Or is Sharon Osbourne really dead?

Yep.

[sspadowsky]

I meant Reeve, not Sharon Osbourne. Apparently the ghouls at ABC are determined to be first to bear the bad tidings.

[pjalne]

Jesus, that's some cold shit.

[Captain Goodtimes]

Maybe sharon is possibly dead too i mean id they are forms how would they know that she is survived by ozzy and their kids, what if they die first, that would be more incoveient.

Either way, reeves is dead and I am terribly sad.

[pjalne]

Well, apparently, they have one of these ready for both Ozzy and Sharon, and upload whichever "works out".

[Captain Goodtimes]

That's just a terrible as the news of Reeves death.

[Mockery]

ABC News is gonna implode on itself soon, I wonder if they have a story prepared for that.

[Jixby Phillips]

How did you find that, pjalne??? that is amazing

Man, this is sad. I mean, I don't want to sound like an Oprah fag, but there was something kinda inspirational about the way he kept promoting methods to help people like him. But he really looked terrible near the end of his life.

What the fuck, they have these lying around ready to update whenever people die? Or is Sharon Osbourne really dead?

Oh, definitely. That they have them lying ready, that is. For all the famous old people or celebrities with disease, they have documentaries and articles lying ready, needing only a touch-up before they're put on the air or online.

That's how a couple of years ago, one of our princes got declared dead prematurely.

fucking dickholes

[executioneer]

i bet they run a dead pool

[McMock]

Hey you know what would be funny?

Hold on... Christopher Reeve being dead IS funny. Never mind fellas.

[executioneer]

nuh uh

[McMock]

"UH UM DUH!"
(translation: I AM DEAD!)

[executioneer]

nuh uh

[McMock]

I don't know what dead limb of his to laugh at first. Oh wait, all his limbs have been dead for ten years lol the fun never ends!

[pjalne]

Fuck, I totally forgot to download/print the Sharon Osbourne thing, and now I want to use it in my freelance writing class in three days. Anyone got a bckup or a print they can scan?

Oh, and Jixby: go to abcnews.com and search their site for 'xxx' or 'xxxx'. Right now you'll only find sports page templates (like xxx win again!) and some other shit, though

[mburbank]

Pre written obits for famous people goes back at least a few generations. My Grandfather on my Mom's side used to write 'em for the washington post, and keeping them updated used to be a whole job. Entry level writers got stuck with the 'dead file'.

And it's sad Chris Reeve died.

But death is always funny, and tragic death is funnier and tragic celebrity death is a gut buster.

Funny and sad don't have to be separate things.
