Not really. The chicken dance song sucks.

The term luminary shouldn't be thrown around so lightly.

/hehe

This list is incomplete, as it does not include Mike Levey, the sweater-wearing infomercial guy.
(And many others, but I wonder how many people know Mike's gone?)

Actually, Cracked can go over there to remedy it.

I'm not a huge fan of Cracked, but honestly the humor makes me smirk every once in a while and sometimes they are funny.

Whatever you may say about them, at least they don't specialize in lame ass web comics (see what ends up on Digg) and they don't do slide shows.

For that alone they at least deserve a golf clap for trying.

My favorite luminary who is not quite dead, yet, is the guy who decided that he could sell rocks, to people as pets.

I love a good fad now and then.

October 25: The Man Behind Deep Throat

It was said to be one of the first porno films with a plot and high production values, setting an example that not a single subsequent porno would bother to follow.


*chuckle*

 
AufDerFlucht76 2008-12-28 07:22:41 PM  
I had never heard of Killer Kowalski, and thought that the subby was referring to Marlon Brando's son as that before I saw that there was someone named Killer Kowalski.

Shows how much I know.

Snowydog: Where's the requiem for the ShamWow guy?

My hope is that Camera Guy as in "are you following this, camera guy?" finally snaps and opens a 55-gallon drum of WhoopAss on ShamWow Guy. Bonus points if Camera Guy is of German descent.

 
Oldiron_79 2008-12-28 07:46:08 PM  
These dead people in this list are more important than Heath "brokeback" Ledger or Tim Russert. Especially Vampira.

 
jcharney 2008-12-28 07:48:21 PM  
The funny thing is I heard of most of these deaths...from reading fark.

See how well that works? Don't like it? Don't click it.

What a world this will be once you learn the "shut up about it" part of the equation.

FTFY Subby.

After my usual 2.2 seconds of reviewing a Fark topic, this one rates a "#2 WTF"

 
Solty Dog 2008-12-28 08:06:53 PM  
It's an outrage that we place certain deaths on a collective pedestal while noble and humble, and occasionally, stupid people are planted in the dirt everyday. This is the one lesson we can learn from the goth freaks.

 
Norad [TotalFark] 2008-12-28 08:09:59 PM  
Dumb headline, yet another dumb Cracked list. Really dumb. Fark, you're slipping.

It's an outrage that some people are better than me.

 
ederosia 2008-12-28 08:17:58 PM  
dr forrester, that was better than anything I saw on the link. And to whomever is greenlighting these Cracked links: please stop it.

Sadly that bastard is still alive. However if you were to "accidentally" drop him off on my property, I may be able to rectify that.

 
ZAZ [TotalFark] 2008-12-28 08:25:14 PM  
...and they don't do slide shows.

Somebody here once observed, more or less, Cracked could find a way to split a one word article across two pages but a top 100 list would still only take two pages to read.

But when he dies, his ashes will be liquified in some cola, poured into a rug, and sopped up with a ShamWow. It will all be followed by the camera guy.

The chicken dance was composed by Strauss. It's a Viennese polka.

 
Studio Ghibli 2008-12-28 08:30:08 PM  
Sarcasm aside, some people are simply better than me in that they contribute more to society than I do.

So, when they decide to kick it, it's a damn shame.

Some people have trouble dealing with that.

/We can't do these kind of deals all day folks. Look at this absorbency!

 
Studio Ghibli 2008-12-28 08:33:34 PM  
I think the real outrage, however is this:

Why the fark are they lumping Heath Ledger in the same group as George Carlin?

 
Snowydog 2008-12-28 08:34:31 PM  
berylman: You mean Vince died?! NOOOOOOOO

Vince is fine, I just want the ShamWow career to die

Derkins 2008-12-28 08:41:07 PM  
So I'm watching a Washington Capitals game on tv, and they play the chicken dance at the exact same time I read "the chicken dance" in the headline. Weird.

I'm wondering if I should have shared that or kept it in my head.

 
Weisenheimer 2008-12-28 08:43:45 PM  
Cracked.com is one of the most consistently funny sites I've found.

You're posting on Fark, was keeping it in your head ever remotely an option? ;)

djscram [TotalFark] 2008-12-28 08:47:43 PM  
Cracked frequently amuses. Taking the time to comment in a Fark thread about how much you hate Cracked is an indicator of low "actual-life" levels.

 
Myownepitaph [TotalFark] 2008-12-28 08:53:42 PM  
I find it interesting that the guy who directed Deep Throat died of a stroke, I thought it would have been many strokes.

/Ticket please

Yes, I get it. You hate Cracked.

Yet you post. Astounding. Let's analyze.

At least he had a sense of style and even humor about his own death.

FARK didn't think it was worthy. Tsk tsk.

Somebody from The Warriors dies and they can't bump one friggin gossip link.

Where's the douchebag from the Bowflex commercials?!

"I gave all my fat clothes to my fat friends!" I rank him up there with ShamWow guy. They both need to fall off the Earth.
