Yahoo Deletes Journalist's Pre-Paid Legacy Site After Suicide
New submitter digitalFlack writes "Apparently Martin Manley has been a popular blogger and newspaper journalist for many years. For his own reasons, no indication of illness, he decided sixty years on this planet was enough. He designed a 40-page website with sections such as: 'Why Suicide?' and 'Why Age 60?.' Martin planned his suicide meticulously, but to manage his legacy, he picked Yahoo. He even pre-paid for five years. After he left this mortal coil on his 60th birthday, Yahoo decided they don't want his traffic, so they took the site down. Sorry, Martin."
if more people went that way before they became resource sponges then the quality of life would be better for everyone (well everyone still left alive anyway)
now if only we can somehow prevent anyone over the age of 60 from holding elected or appointed government positions we would be on the right track
and really since he was planning on dying anyway why not kill off a few people who really deserve it on your way out? i mean it isn't like you will feel guilty about it later
hopefully that isn't the only place he published his manifesto and he has other locations
