Did he really just put Amy Winehouse on the cover of Shit Faced magazine? So the time we have to not to take the piss out of celebrities after they die is now <2 months. Nice to know.

Yep, and it's still funny.

ps. Is this cut off before he get's in to his rant? Usually the last point is quite a bit longer.

I've heard this sort of attitude a lot in the last couple of days and it really bugs me. Just because other things in the world are worse, or other tragedies might affect you more deeply than this, it doesn't mean that this isn't sad or that Amy Winehouse wasn't deserving of our pity. Famine in Africa, terorism in Norway, my friend's cat got put down, my husband being diagnosed with cancer, Amy Winehouse's death. All bad news, all happened recently, and I feel sad about them all in different ways.


Since you quoted my post in your response, I'll assume you were responding to me as well. Sure, the death of any people would be felt by someone, and I'm sure those who like her music would feel sad. My commenting is to bring up the fact that celebrity deaths has been given more attention than the real problems in the world, because it's something that sells papers and gain audience from bored people. I think it has the same overtone of the "First world problem" meme and therefore the association.

<troll face>If that bugs you, well that's too bad, welcome to the interweb.</troll face>

Damned shame. The people around her should be ashamed, if not criminally charged. Welcome to the 27 Club Amy. R.I.P.
"Tried to make me go to rehab, and I said, 'No. No. No.'" - Amy Winehouse


In retrospect, No was probably the wrong answer.

Does that make this EIA?

Before dismissing me as an insensitive jerk, how many Syrians were shot and killed while protesting for democracy since her death, and with no fanfare.

I find it pretty amusing that There is a wikipedia page dedicated to people dying during an arbitrarily decided year.

I'm sure you can find famous singers/song writers who died at other ages as well.

So agree with you

To those who feel really upset about this, I'm wondering when a junkie on the street walks up to you begging for money you know they'll use on drugs, what is your response? To someone who has NOTHING else, no money, no friends, no family to help them through? Amy Winehouse's death, a tragedy? Absolutely. Preventable? Easily. But I think the deaths of unknowns in the street due to substance abuse is far more tragic than another celebrity who could've got help far more easily, if they really wanted it.

If you really want to help, why not donate to a charity? http://www.actiononaddiction.org.uk/ for instance?
