Famous person is dead. R.I.P. [R]

Considering our wide range of interest, and that the list of famous people isn't going to stop growing, I figured it's about time we stopped starting a thread every time someone even remotely famous passes away.

So here goes.

Nate Dogg (1969-2011)

Owsley ‘Bear’ Stanley , a 1960s counter-culture figure, who “flooded the flower power scene with LSD and was an early benefactor of the Grateful Dead” and subject of songs “Kid Charlemagne" and “Alice D. Millionaire”

Re: Famous person is dead. R.I.P.

I am feeling great sadness feelings about famous person's death.

Can I also say happy birthday to all my facebook "friends" here and be done with that,too?

I think this thread needs a [R] tag.

Re: Famous person is dead. R.I.P.

And I thought it was the original 'Alfred.' He's been dead since 1988.

I might have to subscribe to this thread.

Re: Famous person is dead. R.I.P.

Seconded. No disrespect.

I could have gone until the next award season before hearing about Alfred. That sucks.

RIP Nate Dogg

this will be helpful in ensuring that nobody knows who has died unless they read the Big Soccer Obits every day.

Re: Famous person is dead. R.I.P.

Didn't he die a year ago?

I think this thread needs to be deleted, and individual threads be used in its place. I am strongly opposed to this Goodsportization of yet another forum.

Re: Famous person is dead. R.I.P.

Nah, keep the thread. It'll be needed when Charlie Sheen kicks the bucket.

Re: Famous person is dead. R.I.P.

Then make a thread called "Charlie Sheen kicks the bucket" and people will know what is in the thread. This stupid thread is so general that you have to read it to find out whether you want to read it or not.

Re: Famous person is dead. R.I.P.

I'm surprised there isn't a thread to get him his own forum.

Re: Famous person is dead. R.I.P.

The premise is pretty simple: this is a thread for lesser-known celebrity deaths. We don't need a bunch of 3 post threads about celebrities no one's heard of. That wastes bandwidth. If you see this thread get bumped, you'll know an obscure celeb has passed. Then you click to see who it was.
