    In reply to Scoring Sunday's Nuptials: In Which Will Ferrell Photobombs the NYT's Weddings
    I want there to be a site where you can create a Will Ferrell photobomb for any photo you choose. That should be the man's destiny. It's perfect.

    On a related note, I remember two old Defamer threads about Heath Ledger's and Brad Renfro's untimely and unexpected deaths last year:

    [defamer.gawker.com]

    [gawker.com]

    It's interesting how these types of posts always yield a very similar dynamic in the comments--some individuals express great sadness; others express disbelief that anyone could care that much about the passing of a relative stranger and note that this kind of outpouring is somehow obscenely out of proportion; the two fractions clash (virtually); after some invectives are tossed around, a middle ground is established.

    No middle-ground here. Anyone who can snark about the death of anyone not at Hitler-Levels has serious issues and might want to step off to an island full of people who behave the same way.

    Sad, esp. that she's going to be exponentially more famous now.

    A quick look at the Google news feed shows she was fired from a project in Puerto Rico the first week of December. Two days later, TMZ reported her husband made a frantic 911 call on her behalf, and even posted the recording from the call.

    She was definitely having some troubled times and difficulties coping.

    Very sad news, indeed.

    Just glanced at her IMDB page; looks like she has more movies coming out in 2010 than she's had in years. So incredibly sad.

    Here comes my favorite part. When every internet commenter offers their "condolences" and their "deepest sympathies".

    Guess what internet commenters? Her family doesn't give a shit about your condolences.

    @twoeightnine: And I don't get that one anyway. Clearly prior praying didn't do her any good, unless the prayer was that she die. And now that's she's dead, presumably prayers aren't going make a blind bit of different. Jesus and the angels will be looking after her or Lucifer will be toasting her eyebrows. Amirite?

    Hmm. I have never understood the whole prayer thing. Really.
