Here's a shocker: Amy Winehouse

[RacerX]

So I interrupted his speach with "Crap, we put the wrong one in that casket! Sis, get your ass in there!"

BWAHAHA! I bet it sounds even funnier in Dutch!

[Endrik]

Meh, I don't know

Before putting mine 6 feet under, I gave her a sigarette 'for the road', only later to realize I forgot to give her a lighter with that
To my uncle who gave me the sigarette: ...I guess I'm gonna be hearing about that in a few years!

The biggest comedy was on that same funeral where 'the company representative" made a nice little speech about my mom.
Too bad the stupid fuck pulled my sisters (worked at the same place) file for his info
So I interrupted his speach with "Crap, we put the wrong one in that casket! Sis, get your ass in there!"


or the golden line when talking to the undertaker about my father's burial:
"How did he want to be buried?"
"Oh,.. well, In a garbagebag, thrown on the curb with the rest of the trash"


Black comedy: turning tragedy in something less gloomy

But did anyone do the best funeral joke too, yelling "good riddance"?

[atomic charvel guy]

what's the difference between an irish wedding and an irish funeral?
one less drunk.

No, they're saving up that one for mine
And if I was living my life like Winehouse, I'd deserve it

tough crowd around here

It's not just here, brother! I always felt bad about her because I felt it would end this way for her. I had a hard fucking time quitting meth at the end of the 80s, and that's not as bad as crack or heroin. It has surprised me how many people are really hostile towards this girl though! Well she wrote a song about it, isn't that what artists are supposed to do? I wasn't particularly into her music, but then I never sought it out either. Part of me did not want to get any more involved because I felt she'd end badly.

Now all I can think about is RSmacker having a piss on her whole family in his own private Thermopylae! They probably deserved it and then some, picking the narrow stairway was genius, sir!

Seriously though, may she rest in peace.

[Shawn Lutz]

I don't get it either. She had issues and demons she couldn't overcome. She was talented no question, I hated all the negative press on her that she brought upon herself but that doesn't mean I hate hater her and rejoicing over her death. Tough crowd or not there are some lowly posters in this thread are disrespectful, that's somebodies daughter, family member and friend who died....remember how you feel when you lose a loved one before being a dick about it.

[Rsmacker]

Mr Winehouse is currently being a publicity whore-extraordinaire, he's doing more media appearances than Harry fucking Potter. Oh, what's that? Amy left a massive amount of unreleased material did she? Oh, what a surprise. I wonder if he'll release the lot, for free, in memoriam? I won't hold my breath.

Interesting how prominent he was (NOT) before her death, I can't recall seeing him grabbing his daughter by the scruff of her neck and physically locking her up to sort her shit out when she was falling all over the tabloid press, off her tits. I tell you one thing, if it was MY daughter, I would have done so, no two ways about it, adult or not. (And yes, I'm well aware of how addictions work, and how addicts can only help themself blah blah, but still, considering all the hand wringing he's doing NOW in public, perhaps he should have gone on TV beforehand to appeal to her, or anyone else, to help his daughter sort herself out)

Anyway,if I thought that tosser was reading this board avidly, I'd perhaps moderate my comments in the name of sensitivity. (I might ask him also how his mate's nose is, and how well my piss washed out of his shirt).
However, I feel pretty confident that none of her relatives or friends will be driven to despair by my jokes about her demise. If they are, well, fuck 'em. If you let your friend play on the railway and he gets hit by a train, don't be surprised when people make choo-choo jokes.

It's not meaning to offend, or wound, it's just life - we all croak sooner or later. Better that the man with the scythe is round Ms Winehouse's gaff than round at mine. Until he does appear closer to home, and whilst there are comedic circumstances, we all take the piss and make jokes, otherwise we'd disappear up our own arse, anxiously awaiting our own demise.

If any of my family or friends die a public death, after courting publicity and reaping the benefits, feel free to be a dick about it.

But I guess they are right

Instead of satirizing her demise, we should herald her influence she had on youths

Great influence that.... Get screwed up on smack, act like a dick in public.... but it's all ok because your famous.

Heroin sheeck, has had it's come-uppance. When I was last in UK, it was very fashionable to look like you were on heroin, i.e. waif like thin, bags under eyes, stumbling round, jaundice, tracks in arms. Kate Moss, Pete Doherty, Winehouse were the icons of this fashion and plenty of kids were lining up to make the look more authentic by taking the last step! Perhaps it's a good thing she died. Maybe the best way she could influence the kids was in her death showing the result of her lifestyle.

More shocking and tragic showbiz news - Justin Beiber has been found in his apartment alive and well...

[Rsmacker]

Wait till he's found in Elton John's apartment, he won't be then.

(He'll be able to change his stage name to Badly Torn Boy though)

Meanwhile, he's laughing all the way to the bank and tapping this:

You don't know that

For all we know she needs him to practice putting on makeup

[Rsmacker]

And not a pubic hair between them.
