Amy Winehouse Is Dead

[Gavin Luper]

Yawn. 4 drugs easily available in the UK and any moron knows you shouldn't even mix any 2 of those without seriously risking some gnarly effects, let alone all four. Stupid girl does stupid thing and ends up dying. News at eleven.

Yawn. Tryhard cynic gives typical "I am so above everyone else and am totally above feeling any fake, media-driven compassion for another human being's death" posts, which are basically equally as cliche as the posts that try to be compassionate. I think it's human nature for people to be compassionate to the dead, especially to those who clearly had troubled/tragic lives, because they are 1) dead and 2) can't defend their honour, so people naturally recognise that all of us are mortal and that probably we'd like to be treated similarly when we die, with some basic form of respect and not venom. I don't know why you need to try to prove how allegedly transcendent you are, but you just come off looking like an adolescent jerk.

That came off more venomous than I intended, but posts like yours are so typical and baiting and, frankly, they just piss me off.
