    First they came for the shoplifter. Because I was afraid they could one day come for me, I shot the cops.

    Okay, this is not that funny - Aaliyah really is dead!

    Look at this CNN article: she was killed in a plane crash.

    I'll probably get modded down for replying to you, but I think it's crazy that you posted that and she really is dead.

    Maybe it's forgivable, since she does have some geek signifigance. She had a major role in the upcoming Matrix movies. Production will probably be further delayed.
