“Not because he is dead but because so many take it so seriously.”
Yeah, ‘cuz even the slightest twinge of sadness at the passing of notable people is just so gauche i wanna puke. They got all they deserved and more over the years because of their celebrity and so deserve nothing from us once they’ve checked out. No sense being sad when some famous person croaks; whatever you liked about them dies with them, so just skip all the emotionalism and get on down the road toward your own unheralded demise. Tempus fugit, yaknow; no time for humanity.

Nice take-down, man!
