Meh, I know people like to tell tasteless jokes but I don't find much funny about dieing from addiction.

I didnt say it wasnt nonsense.

I just read the dumb joke somewhere else on the net, I thought it was funny but it's worn off already.

I think the Amy Winehouse situation is prety sad. I think she just got pulled in to the hard drugs and couldn't get out. When I heard the Amy Winehouse story, I thought of Jeff Conaway. He was another one who tried and just couldn't break the cycle of addiction. Too bad really.

**Slime Slayer** · 07-25-2011, 07:31 PM

Let it be a lesson to the rest of us.

**RU Joe** · 07-27-2011, 10:39 PM

I wasn't a fan of Amy Winehouse but 27 is really young to die.
I saw a video of her last performance on youtube and from what I could see she was really, really far gone.
Sadly this rampant addiction seems quite common among young 'celebrities'; I'm reminded of how Drew Barrymore would talk about getting drunk on vodka at 11 years old and going to the 7 - 11 in the middle of the night .... and many other such stories.

Is it the isolation of fame that does this to them?
Does being placed on a pedestal mean your feet never touch the ground, and therefore you are also out of touch with reality?
Why does addiction grip so many of these people?

Another one is gone

**Dudebro** · 08-03-2011, 06:59 PM

That's too bad he was a funny dude. Btw they left out his most memorable performance, Spare Tire on Married with Children-

I lol everytime I see this.

**Tails** · 08-03-2011, 07:01 PM

I really have no clue who he is. o.o

RIP though.

**Dudebro** · 08-03-2011, 07:19 PM

You've never seen a Police Academy Movie? Seems strange coming from a guy who seems to love stuff from that era like Urkel.

**Tails** · 08-03-2011, 08:05 PM

I have not actually. I watch stuff like that due to reruns. Urkel was also the voice of Sonic in his cartoons.

**Dudebro** · 08-03-2011, 08:21 PM

Btw you should've said "I really had no clue who he was" since you do know who he is after reading what Smitty posted and he's dead so was is the correct tense.

**Tails** · 08-03-2011, 09:30 PM

Yes DB, I am not perfect in grammar, thank you for correcting me.

**Dudebro** · 08-03-2011, 10:47 PM

The

was supposed to let you know that it was a joke.

**RU Joe** · 08-03-2011, 11:52 PM

R.I.P. Bubba Smith.
I remember him from the Police Academy movies and some other performances.

Micheal Jackson: drug overdose
Billy Mays: found dead in his house.

**RU Joe** · 08-09-2011, 06:18 PM

Hi Gamingrocks, and welcome to RU, the best site on the net!

This thread is like a memorial to celebrities who passed away recently and often posts are made within 48 hours of the announcement of someone's death.
I think Michael Jackson may have died before this thread's creation, but I'm pretty sure Billy Mays is back there somewhere.

Were you a MJ fan?

Yet another person from my era.
My turn must be coming soon.
Rest in peace.

**samejamesbond** · 08-15-2011, 05:00 PM

I was never a fan of Warrant, or the other hair metal bands of the 80s, but RIP none the less.

Rick Rypien, NHL tough guy was found dead in his home at age 27

I didn't like him as a player but it still sucks another NHL player has died so young.

**Tails** · 08-16-2011, 11:36 AM

So he signs a 700 grand deal last month and is now dead? I call foul play.

**CrispyChicken** · 08-16-2011, 01:35 PM

700k really isn't much Tails. The minimum is what, 500k?

RIP Rick Rypien

I know I'm a bit late to this discussion but, if someone makes a conscious decision to die at twenty-seven, it doesn't make it a creepy coincidence.
