RIP to a man with style. Not a good style. But certainly a style.

    For some reason, I thought he was already dead

    It's sad because he's dead but how is it depressing? He made it to 100

    Edit: well all the other comments are depressing

    Yeah and I'm happy for him on that front. It's just that my default prior is "death is a bad thing" until I get some information to suggest otherwise (e.g. person is suffering and would prefer to die, or person is a monster (e.g. billionaires, politicians, cops, serial killers)).

    It's sad because he's dead but how is it depressing?

    I don't know. I just personally didn't feel better when I read it. And I don't feel good about it now. ☹️

    So I guess the Charlie Chaplin enthusiast movie critic in the Devil’s Rejects is based off of this guy.
