Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Public Defenders

Steve Jobs dies. His life in 60 seconds.

ChaosEngine says...

>> ^rebuilder:

I see this video and I'm struck by how much has changed in just my brief lifetime. We're now a society where the death of a tech company's CEO is noted more highly than that of, say, Mother Theresa's was.


1. Mother Teresa wasn't that nice and
2. I don't know what society you live in, but I remember people going nuts over her death, to the point where someone I know made the facepalm-inducing suggestion that the end times were near because god was "calling his favourites home" (she and princess diana died within a week of each other).

Besides, I don't see anyone claiming Jobs was a saint....

It made me sad that he is dead which is pretty fucked up and shows you how shallow emotions can be, logically I don't care that he is dead not any more than any other person that has died.
We have this weird artificial image of him I don't even know who he is , he is probably as much a cunt as he is a nice guy.
Just because sum-one can be more easily attributed for there effect on the world should not mean we should necessarily celebrate them more or less than other people , or morn them more ore less than other people.


Kind of the same feeling here. Every time I hear about a celebrity death, I wonder how many people died the same day who are completely unsung. Maybe I'm just bitter about those princess diana trading cards I got off ebay...

Stewart Lee on the death of Princess Diana

At the beginning he refers to the "ninth of November." It never occurred to me that Europeans would hear "9/11" and get the month/day switched.

he mentions it a few times just before this and decides to 'make a stand and claim back the calendar' for the British.

I don't see the clip being disrespectful - how many times has Bush been lampooned? The great and the good have had to bear being satirised. It really depends on how precious one is about national/historical figures. As a Brit I don't mind one iota if the target is the Queen, Gordon Brown, Churchill or whoever. I imagine most people here aren't too bothered. One exception might be Princess Diana - there are still alot of twits who get precious about her.
