They had this one ready to go, huh?

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 58 points 11 months ago

It's pretty good, hats off to The Onion

Makes me morbidly wonder if they're sitting on a folder full of celebrity death articles.

[–] pastel_de_airfryer@lemmy.eco.br 31 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's actually standard practice in journalism

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It makes sense for one of notification or even praise and remembrance.

But imagining a folder of jokes about celebrity death send a bit darker.

Aw man. That made me switching between tearing up and laughing so many times. What a great one.

This is how I learned he died. Appropriate.

Didn't you read the article? The. Coffin don't fit!

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

At least you didn't learn it from the fucking memes like I did.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

I dunno, memes are an alright way to find out. I took great pleasure in the Henry Kissinger memes, myself

Body probably still warm and they are roasting him already. Couldn’t happen to a nicer murderer.

OJ's wife's killer is finally dead

[–] hemmes@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Well don't go losing your head over it

Rest in Piss.

Truly one of the great failings of Justice.

It sure was, when they let a literal Nazi cop on the force to eventually fuck up the legitimacy of the case, and who the hell knows what else... Something tells me OJ wasn't the only killer in that courtroom.

"Cops framed a guilty man."

And a good example for not excusing bad behavior just because someone is a star athlete
