Schlitze, I usually give you a pass cos I actually appreciate most of your trolling, but fuck off m8, you're out of your element. Bourdain was a big deal because he introduced millions of fat, closed-minded Americans to parts of the world they never knew existed, and that's just what 40% of us need direly right now.

RIP boobs tho

I can’t shake off the suspicion that there’s a moral in there somewhere - fat closed-minded Americans only caring about the world if they find out you can have food there.

I definitely enjoyed his shows, however.

You're not wrong.

People who care about food are typically not that fat. The "fat Americans" I'll bet did not watch his show. 

r.i.p. deepnude. gone too soon (literally 5 months young)

That's not fair I only learned of its existence today. RIP

"He's a real character" R.I.P. Rip Torn. Make ya daddy proud. proud. 

Rip Torn??? i could've sworn ... hot damn. RIP.  Loved Larry Sanders. Due a re-watch. (( maybe Frasier first though ... ))

surprised nobody mentioned Joao Gilberto, was a few days ago

British actor Freddie Jones, recognizable to Gen-Xers as Thufir Hawat from Dune has passed away.  RIP

Denise Nickerson, who at age 13 played the wonderfully sassy Violet Beauregarde in Willy Wonka &the Chocolate Factory (1971), has died. She was 62 and hadn't fully recovered from a severe stroke last year.

Weird. I posted about Rip Torn dying in this thread and my post vanished.

That is weird - I checked the moderation logs and there's no record of it being removed, either...

...I guess he'll be known as RIP Torn from now on.

That's a bummer, I think that makes her the first of the Wonka kids who passed away. I love that film and of the bad kids I always found her role to be one of the funnier roles, her character had a bit of moxie. She was in some episodes of Dark Shadows and IIRC was part of the casting call for Exorcist but her parents declined upon reading the script.

Maybe I wrote it out and never hit submit. 

Ross Perot died a few days ago. In a strange coincidence, I had a friend from out of state visiting here last week and on Friday we were driving around and passed by the Perot Science museum. He asked "is that guy still alive?" and I said, "no, he's dead," because I honestly thought he was.

This is exactly the kind of conspiracy his character in Men In Black would have warned us about

LOL - yeah, I think we got zapped and were made to forget about posting he died...

Someone responded with a Freddy Got Fingered youtube video.
