9 People Who Newspapers Are Waiting For to Die
Some obituaries the press may have in their back pocket.
This week, the world lost the great Elizabeth Taylor. But since this is a comedy site, we will not really dive into the details. We will, however, laugh at the fact that the guy who wrote her obituary died nearly six years before her:
It's not shocking that newspapers ready the obituaries of notable figures well before their deaths. But c'mon, that's pretty great. And on top of that, odds are that he didn't write it on his deathbed. It's very possible Gussow wrote that in the 80s and it was just sitting in a folder on his desk, with a note that read:
I was bored and feeling somewhat morbid so I began fantasizing about what celebrities will die and how I'd honor them. Don't judge me. This is what I do. You knew that when you hired me to write obituaries. Jesus. Anyway, when I pass well before these folks, feel free to use pre-written obituaries as you please. K thanx bye.
So, in honor of Mel Gussow, it got us thinking about what other celebrities are newspapers anxiously waiting to be found floating in someone's pool.
Ernest Borgnine
Amy Winehouse
Andy Rooney
Obituary Probably Written: 1998, but updated after every episode of "60 Minutes" to accommodate all the things he "doesn't understand."
Will Probably Die: 2014, upon which he'll say something like "Why are caskets so decorative? If you're inside them, who cares what they look like on the outside. I don't understand."
Charlie Sheen
Robert Deniro/Al Pacino
- How has nobody mentioned Http://www.abevigoda.com ?
- I watched the Godfather a couple weeks ago for the first time in years and Abe Vigoda was old then. Just think of the all the people he's outlived. Joe Strummer, Cory Haim, Michael Jackson, Marilyn Chambers ...
- Amy Winehouse can come off that list now
- The first bit about Elizabeth Taylor was funny, the rest was just made up and dumb.
