So who amongst the Presidential candidates will be at Muhammad Ali Funeral ? Obama is believed to be attending I am sure most will try to be there I think it may be fun to watch
And nobody in Zimbabwe had heard of Cecil the lion until he died, and the media decided to push his story.
Of course bammy will go to the funeral of an America-hater.
“The gorilla only mattered after it died.”
He is just a dead prop in the age of outrage and offense.
Both are false expressions of identity and meaning... But they are so easy and look so good on social media!
Will it be the “Wellstone Funeral” if 2016?
[they didn’t have a d*** thing to say about him when he was alive.]
They don’t care about where he is now spending eternity either.
I think GWB is also a close friend.
Very true.
Cecil the Lion’s life mattered to no one and affected no one until he died, then the bandwagon riders all converged.
Same for the gorilla, same for Ali, same for Prince.
It’s interesting. I am an animal lover, so the death of the lion and the gorilla made me sad. So did Ali and Prince’s death.
But let me take a moment to analyze myself.
Did the lion or the gorilla affect my life in any way at all? No.
Did Prince or Ali affect my life in anyway at all? No.
If the media had never informed me that the gorilla, the lion, Ali or Prince had died, would I have known or cared?
No.
This overblown outpouring of public sympathy seems to be a media driven and mass communication phenomenon.
This is definitely a media phenomenon.
Hillary will throw her body on the casket and cry ‘’Oh, Lawdy, Lawdy’’.
I thought Muslims put their dead in the ground in a day or 2 - no embalming. The body will be quite ripe by Friday.
No, they don’t.
My personal belief is that allah is Satan.
Maybe BJ Clinton will see news cameras outside of the eulogy and start fake-crying like he did at Ron Brown’s funeral.
It's going to be held at KFC.
Actually, KFC! Yum Center (whatever that is)
I missed that, but I did read an article about him five years or so back.
He was in pretty sad mental shape, the writer visiting him, and describing Ali pulling out pigeon-crap streaked memorabilia in his barn.
Not that I liked the guy, but I wondered where his family was to at least maintain their father's dignity. (Not to mention their assumed inheritance.)
Laila's on tv all the time.
KFC Yum Center - home of the University of Louisville Cardinals men’s and women’s basketball teams, frequent spot for major concerts in downtown Louisville. 22k capacity for basketball games, 17k for concerts.
Princess Diana.
That's true, there is only the one true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac & Joseph.
Celebrity worship. Pffft! Who cares?
I thought Muslims had to be buried 24 hours after death.
