They had this one ready to go, huh?

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 1 year ago (1 children)

That's actually standard practice in journalism

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!

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

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year 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 1 year 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.

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