You know, I was really sad when George Carlin died. I cried for real. And I kept tearing up for a few days afterwards when I would see a George Carlin tribute on TV. I guess I always considered him as a father figure to a culture that I identified with.I don't mind people sharing their life experiences of someone they loved. Some people loved Michael Jackson in the way that I loved George Carlin. But sometimes it gets way overdone and doesn't seem real..... like this Billy Mays RIP stuff. Maybe it's meant as a nice gesture to his family that will probably never read this, but to me it seems like some people make these RIP/God comments just to reinforce their own religious beliefs and fears of death..... without any actual care for the person they're saying it for.It becomes like saying "bless you" after a sneeze. It's automated, thoughtless, and with no real meaning. It's the way this culture is. I'm so damn sick of it.A murderer could sneeze on his way to the electric chair and people like this would say "bless you" to him right before they send 2,450 volts through his body.
Hi, Death here with Billy Mays...actually I would put my money on Christopher Plummer, James Earl Jones, and Little Richard to complete the trifecta! and maybe maybe I might throw in Mary Tyler Moore..never much cared for her acting.
