Wesley, that's a lousy analogy. A much better one would be what's the crack about a dead celebrity down at the pub.

In no way is an obit thread in an internet chat forum the online equivalent of a person's wake or funeral, so your suggestion that dissing a dead celebrity online is the equivalent of running into their wake and dissing them is way over the top.

But I love this!

"well, why do you think they call them O-BITCH-UARIES??
and how come no one has mentioned THAT yet??!!"

Amen, brother.
