One by one...

Late last month a legend and one of my personal idols Hunter S. Thompson snuffed his own candle almost a year to the day that they found the drown corpse of Spaulding Gray another immencly talented and emotionally screwed up icon. Why do the best always seem to do themselves in? Do marginally talented people with little to contribute to the cultural landscape kill themselves in a dramatic matter and we just don't hear about it? I'm begining to loose faith in my personal heros does all that talent just become too much to handle?

It only seems to be the really talented ones who kill themselves. So here is my purposal in order for people like me and the impressonable children of the world not to think that we should follow suit everytime on of orr icons kills themselves. Every time a cultural titan dies at their own hand... a less talented celebrity must also take their life to counter act the loss.
Example.

Kurt Cobain+Shot gun blast= Copy cat fans killing selves
Kurt Cobain+ Shotgun blast \ Michael Hutchence+ belt =
Cobain fans not wanting to be mistaken for INXS fans in their deaths
For the deaths of Hunter and Spaulding I call for the immediate suicides of Marlon Wayans & Jackie Collins!
