Unfortunately, I'd never seen any of Bea Arthur until now. I always hate seeing actors and actresses die, even if I was unaware of them beforehand. |

South Korea has been doing good. Samsung Inc has become a leader in the TV buisness. D-WAR and the Host have brought on international reconition in the technological and filmgoing communities, especialy with the Host winning awards and sequel/remake rights being sold to China and America. Not to mention that an official steaming site called Chrunchyroll has gained reconition for internet junkies like me. But saddly, the S. Korean ex-president, who had a large part in Korea's political community, commited suicide. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090523/ap_on_re_as/as_skorea_obit_roh |

I was about to post this article about David Carradine's apparent suicide. I have to wonder what prompted him to want to take his own life.

Been watching the news. Turns out that there is suspicion that while he was found hanged, it might have been staged. I hope so... |

You'd prefer to read that Carradine was murdered...and not dead from suicide? Either way, he's just as dead and it's still just as sad.

This is very sad and shocking news. I liked him. Sad to see him go in such a way. Now they're saying it might have been auto-erotic asphyxiation. I guess I'd prefer to hear that he died during crazy sex than hear that he was murdered or committed suicide. |

Long time actress Farrah Fawcett has passed away. She was 62. She died this AM after a long battle with anal cancer. Farrah Fawcett gained lasting fame for her portrayal of "Jill Monroe", one third of the all female crime fighting trio on the TV series "Charlie's Angels", which debuted on ABC back in 1976. Fawcett also starred in many films and made appearances on other TV series as well. Her long time beau, actor Ryan O'Neal was at her side when she died.

Michael Jackson has just died a few hours ago, no specific reason was given, sources are currently citing "cardiac arrest". http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/06/25/jackson/index.html?eref=rss_topstories Growing up in the 80's, this man was a big musical influence on my life. Kids at school used to try to moonwalk all day and his songs were about as famous as you could get. This is a sad day indeed. I'll think I'll pop "Thriller" and "Bad" into my CD player for the drive to work tonight. |

Thank Goodness Michael Jackson is dead. Though Farrah Fawcett, the woman who along with Charlies's Angles fam did one of the famous pin ups of all time, this is a tragedy. I am sad. Not as sad as David Carridine, but sad. Though dang, alot of famous people from the 70's died in the past month... |

Evan, I'd like you to explain to me why you would make a comment like this about Michael Jackson's death. A person of common decency wouldn't make a disparaging remark like this. This comment is, frankly, something I consider despicable. I don't consider this man's death, or anyone's death(with the exception of a very few individuals in history) to be something to be thankful about. Michael Jackson's contributions to the music industry were enormous and arguably immeasurable. His charitable contributions to charities were considerable and well known. The positive influence he had on millions of fans of his music the world over is undeniable...whether you liked his music or not.

You disgust me. This is the worst display of indecency I've seen in weeks. That being said, it's unfortunate to see Michael Jackson go. He made some fantastic music in his time and contributed greatly to modern music. |

I really can't believe you said that They say death comes in three and that maybe true. We've lost some great people this week. Much respect to Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. All three will be greatly missed. |

I was never a big follower of Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcett, or Ed McMahon, but they were all part of the human family. So they will be missed. |

Hearing about all these deaths is really becoming a downer...wow. Billy Mays was mildly annoying when he was pitching all those tv products, but I watched a couple episodes of that "Pitchmen" show where he trained those future salesman prospects and it really helped display Billy's personal side - he was quite a funny guy. Another sad loss. |

That is a question that has been asked by people for time memoriam. If you ever figure out the answer let me know. Here's what a Google search produced with your question in the "search" box": http://www.google.com/search?q=why+is+life+so+cruel&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a I asked this question aloud to myself just last week after reading an internet article about a young Iranian girl, eight or nine years old(I can't remember her exact age), who was severely burned by white phosphorus, a material packed inside a rocket that exploded in her home. The rocket was launched by US forces who were trying to destroy some elements of the Taliban still entrenched in the Afghan suburb where this young girl and her family lived, and was apparently an "accident" of some kind by the US military. She was what the military often refers to as "collateral damage", a civilian casualty of the Afghan conflict. One moment this child is helping her parents make breakfast and the next she is being airlifted to a local US military hospital. I looked at the images of this burned child and it was like a lead weight had been strapped to my heart. Though US military doctors are helping this girl she will probably spend the rest of her life disfigured and in constant pain. This story brought a tear to my eye. When I see things like this happen to people, in particular children, I ask the question "Why is life so cruel?" |
