Is it just me?

Or does it seem like every celebrity is dying right now?

molson · 06-03-2010, 11:54 PM

There's a few still alive.

Definitely Carrot Top is still kicking around - I saw him posting here just the other day.

Carrot Top = Kathy Griffin

But ya, SteveBollea is right - just imagine how many celebrities you could name, that you have some familiarity with. Including actors, athletes, musicians, whatever....It might be tens of thousands. Probably more.

Whatever that number is, I bet it's at least 100X the number it would be for someone living in the 50s.

Yeah good point.

WHY WE TALKIN SHIT ABOUT KATHY GRIFFIN

They go in 300s.

Butter · 06-04-2010, 07:52 AM

Yes, every celebrity is dying RIGHT NOW.

I have felt like the Aztecs or Mayans or whomever thinks the world ends on 12/12/2012 or whatever is right.

There just seems to be too many natural disasters and such the last few weeks/months/years. To top is off, John Wooden might be dying soon. That truly means the end is near.

Well, with Gary Coleman, it's more like 299 1/2.

I mean, of the people who have died in the last, I dunno, month- how many do you figure are really "big" celebrities? We just have such a low bar to celebrity right now

SI

I was discussing this with a co worker the other day. To me, more celebs seem to be dying, but in part, that is because I am older and I know more of the celebs. If some B-list actor from the 1950's dies, I would have no idea who he is, but when Gary Coleman died, everyone knew who he was.
