So, this is something of a comment on the evening's internet activity.
Michael Jackson had a heart attack today, and that is terrible and sad news. Farrah faawcet also passed away from cancer. They will both be greatly missed.
However, in the space of an hour, I have also been told that Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise, Jeff Goldblum and now Jonny Depp have also died. And it is pissing me off to be honest, because while they are obviously just rumours, they are detracting from the genuine grief of those who have actually died, they are confusing everyone, and they are overloading a number of popular websites with hits they can't handle.
So I got to thinking.... who would start such rumours?
Tragically, there really is only one possible answer.
It really is terribly sad, which is why I am so pissed off about all the pointless rumours. I feel like someone out there is deliberately stirring people up into a frenzy, and it's just not fair.
I didn't really figure how I felt about him, as he was a little before my time, until I saw all those rememberance videos with the sad music playing. Ditto with Fara, although I was a little more familiar with her.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.

I'm one of those horrible people who reacts to bad news with a bad sense of humour. Call it a defence mechanism.
