Musician Aaliyah, dead at age 22. by Anonymous Coward · 2001-08-26 05:41 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I just read some sad news on the internet - musician Aaliyah wass found dead in her Michigan home this morning. I'm sure we'll all miss her - even if you didn't listen to some of her music, you've probably listening to other people bitch about it. Truly an American icon.

  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.

  Too bad, she was pretty bangable.
  
  But it's her own fault, all that money she's making and she's too cheap to FedEx some luggage instead of overloading a small plane with all of it?

You should put in your little "news" blurb that this technology will only be used in the UK. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE US, yet. What terrible news skills you have.

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

The official "[insert name here] found dead" troll is reserved for dead people and Stephen King. Please stick to the rules or I will raise from grave and send legions of Übermenschs after you.

A decent troll is never a direct insult unless it sets off a good conspiracy theory or is very original.
