What about convincing a celebrity to commit suicide?

Presuming you don't get caught...

Do you know any celebs you could persuade to "off" themselves in order to pad your score a little?

[Spec]

I'd play. but if I get'em all right, you guys will be on to me.

Spec.

If you get them all right SlowwHand will fly up to Montreal and buy you dinner.

Oh, I'm sure SlowwHand would survive the ordeal.

[Guynemer]

sigh...


Galnemer and I were putting together a list last night, and literally the first name we came up with was Evel Knievel.

You'll get the list over the weekend...

[SlowwHand]

Timing is everything.

[ZEE]

while i hate the human race, sometimes, and do not care one bit about celebrities... except a few musicans and sports stars...

i will never celebrate anybody's death. never have never will.

sorry guys.

[SlowwHand]

It's not about celebration. NYE said that, too. It has nothing to do with celebrating.

[-Jrabbit]

I'm fairly amused by the righteous indignation of those who don't get it.

[Wezil]

I'm offended by the entire concept.

Who's stupid idea was this?


I knew Knievel was ill but I thought he would defy death a little longer. He wasn't on any list yet.

[ZEE]

i know what happens.

a few months from now a celebrity will be shot in the face and bleed to death in agony just to be robbed.

Then hours later threads all across the world open up titled ,"BLAH BLAH BLAH RIP."

The next few posts will be "YES HE WAS ON MY DEAD POOL I GET 3 POINTS!!"

THe celeb was shot in the goddamn face and bled to death and yall are happy because you get 3 fragging points. Kinevel went the easy way but not everybody will. Even celebs yall think will be "Dead anyway" can meet with a tragic ending.

How many people had Terri Shaivo on their Dead Pool Lists?

What if she was raped and murdered on her death bed. Would yall be happy then??

It is tasteless and I will not be a part of this nonsense. This is like making a "Poly Poster Dead Pool," then cheering when one of us dies.

[SlowwHand]

You know what? I've seen a hell of a lot worse out of you, so don't get sanctimonious about it.

[Wezil]

AAHZ -



You apparently didn't read the rules.

Any celeb worth only three points isn't worth picking and Terry Shiavo wouldn't have been eligible.

As a final note - If you think OT obituary threads are places of great mourning you obviously haven't been paying attention. Dancing smilies aren't uncommon in those threads. Take a look at the Arafat thread for example.
