It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

Now that someone I care about has died I will take the chance to say this: one of the most contemptable, disgusting facets of this website is the pathetic pleasure some of you seem to derive from creating posts with celebrity names as their titles and the word "dead" in the text portion. It seems that you can't get the post out quickly enough, such is your desire for a small amount of recognition at a time of others' pain and misfortune. This time we even had two posts out at the same time and another five minutes later- you couldn't even wait long enough to check if there was a duplicate thread. It's an insensitive thing to do and not a pleasant way to find out someone you care about has died. I'm not saying it can't be talked about here but jumping on your laptop the instant you find out is NOT the way to do it. Major Tom signing off. Edited by Jamesrichards8 (11 Jan 2016 7.26am)

No they don't.99.9% of the time the thread title is the name of the person followed by "dead. RIP will be missed etc" then nice things about them.Whats wrong with that? Plus it's tradition on here so don't expect it to change just because your super sensitive. Jesus.

BUT James your post is way off the mark. The HOL tradition of posting DEAD is no more disrespectful than the BBC tradition of putting BREAKING. I doubt anyone is clamouring for recognition - just passing on the sad news. Absolute Radio playing all Bowie songs this morningy RIP you wonderful wonderful man.
You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name. |

A very very sad day. RIP David, south London boy and musical genius, a term that is used far too lightly in general, but totally appropriate in his case.
I used to be immortal |
