Title: It's a bad time to be a celebrity
Post by: Pavilion on June 28, 2009, 05:50:18 PM
Michael Jackson's and Farrah Fawcett's death still rings.

But oh no, we have another tragedy: BILLY MAYS IS DEAD (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,529328,00.html?mep).

'Who is he' you ask? Why, he's one of the most famous TV pitchmen ever. Seen those cool commercials for OxiClean, OrangeGlo, Kaboom, and a whole lot of other products. Yeah, that's right, that guy with the beard is Billy Mays.

R.I.P.

A death a day keeps the fans away?

Dude... that's like the fourth celebrity death in like four or five days... I'm thinking there's someone behind this. :\

I agree, many people are dying in this year alone. I myself already been to 12-13 funerals in just this year.

If a family member of yours dies, you would go and mourn the loss, right?
Now, let's say that on the other side of the world someone else's family member dies. Do you go and mourn their loss?

Celebrities and well-known people receive more attention to their deaths because they've connected with many more people through music, paining, talents, charisma, etc. And we all know and acknowledge that people die everyday; we just don't give them their respects because we hardly know them. I'm not saying they're insignificant.

Besides, I'm sure you'd mourn the President if he died when many other people died around the world, right?
