It's amazing what those darn words can do to people these days.

i am now hanging my head for having used the expression "bought the farm"--bad, bad josh.

Big ups!

This will always be the problem with Wiki....

It's like anarchy. Looks great on paper, but there are too many dumbasses for it to actually work out.

Bees? Hm.

The internets is rough, man.

How do you guys find this so fast? That's pretty impressive.

... paramedics were pumping her chest ...

Not for the first, but for the last time.

Oh, P.S. already a conspiracy theory that she's not really dead but is feigning death to avoid all the lawsuits/bankruptcy...riiiiiiight. Silly internets.

The only thing worse than having your Wikipedia entry defaced after you die is having your Wikipedia entry defaced after you die by somebody with the spelling abilities of a mentally retard cat. Ugh.

Come on people, have some compassion! She lived such a quiet life, out of the public eye, shunning publicity, just seeking to do her good deeds in peace and now! THIS! A DEFACED WIKIPEDIA ENTRY! PLEASE PEOPLE, HONOR HER LIFE PROPERLY!

I like it. It shows consistency among the youth.

It's not like you can make fun of a woman while she lives a life of pure self-destruction, but the moment she thaws and resolves herself into a dew you suddenly develop respectful limitations.

Wait, who's Anthony?

Beeees?

oh, traffy, she's taking the Ken Lay route to passing? hmm. I hadn't thought of that.

May her cooter rest in peace.

L8RZ? What a horrible use of 8 as a... letter? number?

When anybody dies it is obviously sad, but "honor her life properly"? Give me a break. This isn't Mother Theresa we're talking about. This story should only be mentioned in the back page of the newspaper tomorrow. Not front page news like it will be. Not to mention the top story on every cable news show tonight. (I'm using the word "news" as loosely as possible.)

Another point for Stephen Colbert.

"It's like anarchy. Looks great on paper, but there are too many dumbasses for it to actually work out".

Just like the Gawker commenters, lately.

What's also impressive is that I already got spam with the subject like "Anna Nicole Smith: The Next Chapter"

Her infant child is now heir to an estate which in turn is in litigation over Smith's potential share of her late billionaire husband's estate. Unless that skeevy lawyer in Smith's life passes a DNA test as father *and* he can prove the wedding-in-the-water is valid. Then he's the heir.

That kid better get a bodyguard, stat.
Oy.

Seriously, this woman was a saint. She selflessly gave an old man the best six months of her life... and a few lapdances... and just as she starts to find happiness she overdoses on methadone...

I expect her soon to join Martin, Mother Teresa, and Gandhi in the pantheon of deceased saints.

Ok people, all is well with the world(?). It's been changed back to "normal".

Any word of a blog vigil over at fourfour tonight?

True enough, Zombie.

Slate, for example, has run "obituaries" - usually for politicians - that contained all of the dirty deeds and scandals that traditional news outlets tend to soft pedal for a short time post-mortem. One of their only useful features, as far as I'm concerned.

Of course, for a classic example of the genre, there's Hunter S. Thompson on the recently deceased Nixon:

"These are harsh words for a man only recently canonized by President Clinton and my old friend George McGovern--but I have written worse things about Nixon, many times, and the record will show that I kicked him repeatedly long before he went down. I beat him like a mad dog with mange every time I got a chance, and I am proud of it. He was scum."

I bet that diaper-wearing astronaut is happy to be bumped off the front page for this incredibly important news.

There's a guy selling airbrushed t-shirts on Broadway and Houston with Anna Nicole R.I.P. on the front and a crying mime on the back. Get 'em while they're hip.

"Trim Spa: Do you like my [dead] body, Baby?"

What, too soon?

this is bumming me out. she's gone yet people are still using "teh".

Beads?

We'll see who gets more honey!

who else thinks the astronaut did it?

Bad: dropping dead
Worse: in a casino
Worser: in an Indian casino
Worserer: a Hard Rock Indian casino
Worstest: in FLORIDA

The real question is: Who gets Sugar Pie?

I didn't realize it was in Florida. Maybe the astronaut had something to do with it after all...

Trimspa baby! Don't you like my coffin?

Anna Nicole Smith
1967-2007
She had big breasts.

Doesnt she at least rate the Gawker "now she's dead tombstone"?

Okay. Son collapses (in a hospital, at that), is discovered, given CPR, but it is too late. Mother collapses (with a private nurse around, at that) is discovered, given CPR, but it is too late. Anyone noticing a pattern here?? Howard K. Stern obviously has the ability to suck the life right out of you. Or....something.

With apologies to Leon. (Hey where has he been anyway?)

Such boobs, what a face, though she looked like a tranny,
With 6 lawyers, cops and IRS always after her fanny.
Her lips were like those of a goddess above,
Though her brain was smaller than that of a dove.
I'm betting 'twas suicide and I'd like to be sorry,
But she's probably better off...

At least she wasn't in diapers.

Anna, we hardly knew ye!

Oh, wait, we knew ye pretty well. Too well, at times.

I'm going to be right out front with the "paternity test results showed that her dead son was the father of the baby" hypothesis, because that's the appropriately soap-opera motivation.

Has nobody said it yet?

Anna Nicole Smith gone tits-up.

Forget about Anna Nicole Smith for a moment while I offer my snow-white neck up as an offering in begging for Kibbe's execution.

If you have to ask why, click on her link to "kibbe rocks the city dot com!!!"

And if you're too lazy or scared to do that (as you well should be), here are some highlights:

"Tomorrow is a new day for Piebald!!! Their latest MASTERPIECE, Accidental Gentlemen will be available in stores (along with a messload of other fantastic independent releases, I might add!)!!!!!!!!!!

If you're skeptical about taking my word on its awesomeness, head over to their MySpace where you can preview the ENTIRE record!!

I haven't made an official decision on what my favorite tracks are yet, but you'll be hearing more about this record from me... AND THAT'S A PROMISE!!!

TODAY IS NEW MUSIC TUESDAY!!!

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!!!!!!

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, although I can't help but wonder if him producing the whole thing will effect his sound at all????? We'll have to wait and see!!!!"

I'd rather share a BEEEEEES-filled grave with Anna Nicole than read another week's worth of wisdom from Kibbe. Please, make it quick.

grandenchilada:

You're awwwwfulllly up in our collective grills for commenter dumbassery for a lady whose comment list boasts the gem:

"As Walter Matthau said, eat my shorts".

Maybe when you bring your A-Game, you can start to criticize. Right now you're like Howard Stern telling Maya Angelou she's a lousy writer.

Also, Shadenfrau - I don't think I've ever seen a more complete commenter-on-commenter takedown. Very nice! Nice research. Nice follow-through. We've got us a winner!

ugh this is terrible
