    That issue had some of the most interesting articles I've read in awhile. Took me about an hour and a half to go through them.

    This guy was a real nut, got millions of dollars in funding by conning the government. I liked the part where he had another guy in a room that he'd signal, so that when the military was viewing his "gun recognition software" the camera automatically zoomed up on it making it look real. He more or less fed off the terror fears of Americans to gain profit, then lost it all.

    Reading through the comments, is there like a Union of Professional Trollers who wait for celebrities to die so they can swarm the internet with "Who gives a shit" posts?

    Does it make them feel special to be able to share their personal scale of Giveshitedness with the rest of the world?

    Newsflash, more people give a shit that Brittany Murphy has died than give a shit what any one of us think about it.

    Britanny, like some other actors, doesn't always go for the 'big' movies only it seems. She's in KoTH after making it big, a movie starring Eminem, a gritty comic book adaptation with a unique art direction.

    I'm not surprised that her last movie is low-budget fair from a new British director financed by a top Malaysian studio:

    :(

    This one saddened me, mainly because.

    1. She seemed like a genuinely nice person.

    2. She stuck with King of the Hill even after making it big. You can't say that for people like Stephen Colbert and others. Sure, it's just a voice gig, but it was a small role, and she kept doing it.

    Not that it matters, but I always considered her to have the second highest geek cred amongst the better known Hollywood actresses (Futurama, King of the Hill, AND Sin City? Win.). Angelina Jolie is first, but Murphy seemed more enthusiastic in the material.

    She had the kind of smile that makes me smile whenever I see it, and for her family to be deprived of that, just... damn.

    @SPni: My original post was harshly blunt looking back. What I really meant to say and what I actually feel is thus;

    It's more to do with the endless worship of celebrity in our culture. I have no doubt that she was good person and that loads will miss her but we send young kids into war ill equipped and they come back in body bags. Yet Murphy gets a strange outpouring of grief from everywhere. For once I'd like to see a soldier get that sort of outpour. Hell, I did enjoy Murphy in 8 mile.

    I'm sorry if I've offended any of you with my original post.

    @BanhammerStrikesBack: There aren't stories about homeless people dying because people in general are douchebags, and don't care. People care about this because Brittany Murphy is famous, was young, and has a face they recognize. Period.

    However, comparing the values of people's lives is so stupid. No matter what value you or I may give someone, they still have an intrinsic value. Maybe that's the Christian in me eeking out.

    Also, making a difference in the world is a relative judgment too.

    I rate all deaths on the Bob Barker scale. If I wish Bob Barker had died instead of them, I mourn. If I'm glad Bob Barker is still alive instead of them, I shrug it off. I've found basing deaths on that scale saves a lot of mourning time.
