Clearly you don't feel very good about yourself if you're having a dig at a dead person, especially one who was pretty much harmless. I can understand if that person was a paedo, murderer or rapist, but i don't think being a media personality is in the same class of evil. Clearly you're glorifying in that someone just died and you wanted to share with the world that you don't have any sympathy. There's no rhyme or reason to behave like this, it's just a defect in your character.

Always laugh @ Twitter trolls, just log off ffs.

Holy crap, I agree with rusty on something. Excuse me whilst I take a long, reflective walk.

Aside: have some decorum, anonymous internet hard-asses.

so much hypocrisy on display here

Well I know you get your jollies by speaking Ill of the dead. Your parents must be proud of the fine upstanding individual you've become.\:d/

Oh was that how you reacted when you found out she was dead? Had a good hard chuckle I bet.

Maybe he like many other people simply didn't give a fuck.

EDIT before you jump me: I don't share these views, this just doesen't mean MVFC is a bad person because he doesn't.

Edited by jlm8695: 23/2/2014 12:29:28 AM

Well he clearly gave enough of a fuck to post here about it. No problem if you don't give a fuck but that's very different from calling someone who just died "untalented trash" and revelling in the fact they just killed themselves. You are a bad person if you do that.

No no if you don't give a fuck you wouldn't post. But you called a person who just committed suicide "untalented trash" and wanted to share with the world that you had no sympathy. That's nasty.

Always love when people disagree or argue on the internet that they play the "In Real Life" card :lol:

Such fail.

:lol: rusty trying to be all high and mighty . Why should mvfc care ? Most people only post because it's a celebrity

Nah nah not trying to be all high and mighty, just pointing out having a crack at a down and out person who just killed themselves is pretty weak. You don't have to care or sympathise with that person that's but to make a big public statement about how you don't have any sympathy is a bit rotten. I didn't particularly give a shit when Shirley Temple died but I didn't go and make a big public announcement about it and gloat in that fact her death didn't bother me. Just keep it to yourself next time.

Yeah like the mass display of grief when Paul walker died, I'm pretty sure the majority of people didn't even know who he was. But fuck me if a celebrity dies it's like the worlds going to end. But when you are driving at 180km in a residential street there's a very good chance your going to wrap your car around a pole.

Agree . Hell I lost my father thru murder ,I post about it every year due it had a massive effect on me and I still struggle over it . But I won't or don't care if a celeb dies . Yes I admire them but I don't weep for them.

I don't care much for celebs, though they're still people like everyone else. And at times more lonely than your average person.

Dish out the kind of lack of concern you have shown - no problem, you're entitled to feel that way - and don't get upset at any lack of sympathy you may receive regarding your father.

No one has a mortgage on being felt sorry for.

What affects people regarding celebrity deaths is that they project those things onto themselves and their families. It's a weird identification thought process that takes place.

Dude, I saw a hotted up WRX with a sticker on the back that said "Dude I almost had you" RIP Paul Walker etc :lol:

Was srs bsns.

-PB

I don't really care if people don't empathize with me regarding my father . People won't know how it feels until it happens to them . You just rely on family and friends .

COMEDY actor, director and writer Harold Ramis, best known for his roles in movies such as “Ghostbusters” and “Stripes,” has died, aged 69.

Ramis died early Monday morning of complications from vasculitis, which causes inflammation and damage to blood vessels, said Chris Day, a spokesman at United Talent Agency. Ramis was surrounded by family and friends at his suburban Chicago home.

Ramis was a key factor in some of the biggest blockbuster comedies in the 1970s and 1980s.

He co-wrote “Animal House,” which starred fellow Second City alum John Belushi. He teamed up with Second City alums Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd on “Ghostbusters,” in which Ramis co-starred and helped write. He also co-wrote “Meatballs” and “Caddy Shack,” both of which starred Murray.

“The best comedy touches something that's timeless and universal in people,” Ramis told The Associated Press in a 2009 story about the 50th anniversary of Second City. “When you hit it right, those things last.”

More recently, he directed “Analyse This,” starring Billy Crystal and Robert DeNiro.

Aykroyd issued a statement, saying he was “deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my brilliant, gifted, funny friend ... May he now get the answers he was always seeking.”

Ramis was born November 21, 1944 in Chicago. He is survived by his wife, Erica; sons Julian and Daniel; daughter, Violet, and two grandchildren.

sad, I remember this line from Stripes, always gave me a chuckle

Recruiter: Now, are either of you homosexuals?
John Winger: [John and Russell look at each other] You mean, like, flaming, or...
Recruiter: Well, it's a standard question we have to ask.
Russell Ziskey: No, we're not homosexual, but we are *willing to learn*.

Russell Ziskey: Anybody in here speak some English?
(Elderly man raises his hand)
Russell Ziskey: Sir? You speak some English??
Elderly Man: (nods) Son of bitch, shit!!

Roy Higgins dies suddenly, aged 75

DateMarch 9, 2014


Roy Higgins, one of Australia's greatest jockeys, died suddenly on Saturday night in the Melbourne Private Hospital.

Higgins, 75, won a record 11 Melbourne jockeys' premierships and 2312 winners despite a constant battle with weight and was a revered figure of the Australian turf.

Dubbed ''the Professor'', Higgins won most of Australia's major races, including two Melbourne Cups on Light Fingers (1965) and Red Handed (1967) for Bart Cummings in one of the great partnerships in the sport.

Higgins was inducted into racing's hall of fame in 1987.

Former Age chief racing writer Tony Bourke said on Saturday night that Higgins was not only a great jockey of strength but he also rode in an era when Melbourne jockeys were considered inferior.

Yet he shattered that illusion by being highly successful in both Melbourne and Sydney.

''He was one of the greatest jockeys this country has ever produced,'' Bourke said.

Higgins became a household name not just for his racetrack achievements but as one of the first jockeys to embrace the media.

Higgins was a regular on the popular Channel Seven Sunday sports show World Of Sport.

During his career, and after he retired, Higgins was forever courteous, engaging and informative when phoned by journalists on any racing-related matter.

Higgins and fellow rider Pat Hyland became part of racing's folklore in the famous two-horse race at Flemington, the 1970 Queen Elizabeth Stakes, when Higgins on Big Philou narrowly defeated Hyland on Rain Lover.

In recent years, Higgins ventured into racehorse syndication with his good friend Wylie Dalziel.

He won a race at Flemington eight days ago with Bring Me The Maid.

Born at Koondrook in northern Victoria on June 5, 1938, Higgins began in Deniliquin with his master, Jim Watters

The AFL community in mourning following the death of former Melbourne coach Dean Bailey

Dean Bailey has died overnight aged 47.


CROWS senior assistant coach Dean Bailey died this morning.

Bailey, 47, was diagnosed with cancer — that filled one of his lungs — in December.

Adelaide Football Club players, coaches and staff gathered at their West Lakes headquarters at 9.30am today to learn of his death.

Melbourne co-captain Jack Grimes and teammates Jack Trengove and Colin Garland have paid tribute to Dean Bailey, speaking candidly about Bailey's influence on their AFL careers.



The news of Bailey’s death will be met with shock and sadness around the AFL community where Bailey was admired as one of the game’s much-loved men and sharpest tacticians.

Bailey first learned of his predicament after becoming acutely ill late last year before doctors identified his condition as a cancer in the chest area.


Despite being on indefinite leave, Adelaide’s strategy and innovation coach continued to play a role at the club, inspiring the players with visits between treatments.

The Adelaide Football Club today paid tribute to Dean Bailey recognising he had battled “cancer with his usual resilience and positive attitude”.


Adelaide Crows Chief Executive Steven Trigg and coach Brenton Sanderson reflect on the life of Dean Bailey, who died on Tuesday morning.

Adelaide chief executive Steven Trigg remembered Bailey as “a hard-working, family man.”

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Dean’s wife, Caron and children Darcy and Mitchell,” Trigg said.

“They know that the entire Crows family is here to help and offer support.”

“Few understood the game of football better than Dean.

“He often told how he gained most pleasure from teaching and helping young men become better players and more importantly, better people.

“Dean’s dry sense of humour also provided many priceless moments.

“His influence stretches far beyond the Adelaide Football Club, given his involvement in the game across three states.”

Adelaide chairman Rob Chapman last saw Bailey on Sunday and described his death at 47 as “bloody sad ... and unfair”.

Chapman worked closely with Bailey to defend the Crows assistant coach last year when he faced sanctions from the AFL in the Melbourne “tanking” saga of 2009.

“From those walks along the beach to the nights we’d shared a glass of wine, I learned a lot about football from Dean,” Chapman said. “I will treasure those times.

“Dean had a great sense of humour and a great sense of family.

“He also wanted to achieve so much with the Adelaide Football Club. He leaves us to fulfil those dreams — and with us all remembering his part in making the club stronger and better.”



Herald Sun AFL writer Mark Robinson has paid his respects to the late Dean Bailey, remembering the former Demons coach as one of the game's greatest minds.


His passion and dry humour made him a popular figure around West Lakes.

Last month, after it was confirmed that Bailey had returned to hospital, Brodie Smith said the players’ thoughts were constantly with him.

“It’s just a sad and unfortunate event,’’ Smith said.

“He’s such a great coach and such a good guy around the club.”

Some of the players and coaches shaved their heads as a token of support when Bailey was undergoing chemotherapy.



Port Adelaide veteran Kane Cornes has described Dean Bailey as “a really great footy person’’ who played an integral role in the club’s historic 2004 premiership.

Cornes said he was “shocked’’ by Bailey’s tragic passing and that “everyone at the club is really feeling it today’’.

“He was such a huge part of our premiership side,’’ Cornes said.

“He was a really great footy person, really smart and had one of the best sense of humours you are ever likely to come across.

“The best thing about footy is the people you get to meet and spend time with and he was one of those people I stayed in contact with.

“I’m in shock about how sudden it’s all been and he certainly won’t be forgotten.’’


Bailey’s career in AFL football began as a player in the Essendon midfield in 1986. He played 53 senior games until his retirement in 1992. He then turned to coaching with outstanding credentials as one of the game’s deepest thinkers and calmest men in high-pressure matches.

Bailey left Essendon — where he was a development coach — to be a vital part of Port Adelaide’s 2004 AFL premiership triumph as an assistant coach for Mark Williams. Late in the 2007 season, Bailey was appointed Melbourne’s senior coach — a demanding job he kept for 83 games before his departure midway through the 2011 season.

Bailey returned to Adelaide in October 2011 to be the senior member of rookie coach Brenton Sanderson’s panel at West Lakes.

Former Macedonian NT goalkeeper Petar Milosevski has been killed in a car accident in north-east Macedonia, aged 40.

Wesley Warren Jr, famed for ‘freak’ 45kg scrotum, dies after long battle with health problems


This story was published: 19 hours ago March 16, 2014 12:19AM


A LAS VEGAS man, who shot to worldwide attention last year because of his 45kg scrotum, has died.

Wesley Warren Jr, 49, reportedly died after suffering two heart attacks when he was hospitalised because of complications from diabetes.

Warren grew famous after a publicity campaign to raise money to get surgery on his enlarged scrotum, the result of a condition known as scrotal elephantiasis.

He went on the radio show of US shock jock Howard Stern to draw attention to his plight — he needed to raise $US1 million to pay for surgery.

“I don’t like being a freak, who would?” he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal at the time. “But I figured that the Stern show is listened to by millions of people and they might want to help me. I hope some millionaire or billionaire will want to help me.”

Going public led to surgery last year which corrected his condition.

His friend Joey Hurtado, who shared an apartment with Warren, told the Review-Journal the surgery played no role in his death.

Mr Hurtado told the paper Warren had battled for a long time with health problems related to his obesity.

Mr Hurtado said: “I kept trying to get him to lose weight so he’d be healthier. He’d get depressed sometimes that he wasn’t healthier than he was.”

Scrotal elephantiasis is rarely seen outside of the tropical areas of Africa and Asia and is usually caused by a mosquito-spread parasitic infection.

Warren had never travelled to tropical areas and believed the condition was down to an accident in 2008, when he caught his testicles with his leg while twisting in bed. The next day Mr Warren said his scrotum had grown to “the size of a soccer ball”.

After a British company made a documentary about his condition and the subsequent operation — shown in Australia under the title of “The Man With The Biggest Testicles” — and after a host of TV appearances, Warren was accused by some of being hungry for fame.

The suggestion angered him.

“Who would want to live like this?” he countered.

L’Wren Scott dead: Rolling Stones cancel entire Australia and New Zealand tour



The band told fans they were 'deeply sorry'


Jenn Selby Author Biography

Wednesday 19 March 2014


The Rolling Stones have cancelled their entire tour of Australia and New Zealand following the tragic death of fashion designer L’Wren Scott, who was Mick Jagger’s partner of 13 years.


In a statement, the band told fans they were “deeply sorry” to have postponed the seven dates.

“"The Rolling Stones are deeply sorry and disappointed to announce the postponement of the rest of their 14 ON FIRE tour of Australia and New Zealand following the death of L’Wren Scott," the statement read.

"Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood wish to thank all of their fans for their support at this difficult time and hope that they will fully understand the reason for this announcement.

"The Rolling Stones are planning to reschedule these postponed shows at a later date."

The announcement came just hours after Jagger released a heartfelt personal tribute to his late lover, who was found by her assistant in her Manhattan apartment on Monday. Police are treating her death as a suspected suicide.

"I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way," he wrote on his website.

"We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves.

"She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me.

"I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received.

"I will never forget her, Mick."

The band had already cancelled a scheduled performance in Perth this evening.

The other shows that have been pushed back include Adelaide Oval on 22 March, Sydney Allphones Arena on 25 March, Melbourne Rod Laver Arena on 28 March and Macedon Ranges Hanging Rock on 30 March.

Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 2 April and Auckland Mt Smart Stadium on 5 April have also been cancelled for the foreseeable future.
