For pretty famous people, there's obituaries ready to go for them all. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 15:02 10
- I still love the MTM episode where she had to rewrite the Obituary file - amoxy Jun 25, 15:07 1
  - so many classic moment from that show -- nm - zork Jun 25, 15:08
- Do they actually have people who write pending obits? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 25, 15:04 5
  - that's what interns are for -- nm - zork Jun 25, 15:05
  - They don't write themselves. Anyway, they're really biographies. They would be used (or cribbed) for any big story on the person. -- nm - mara Jun 25, 15:05 2
    - Or accidentally sent live with minimal changes, with an apology afterwards. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 15:06
    - I wonder if they resemble something like a wikipedia entry, only with more quotes -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 25, 15:06
  - I'd assume so. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 15:04
- almost everybody, really. -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 15:03 1
  - *displays his obituary on the fridge* -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 15:03
Yep -- nm - con_carne Jun 25, 15:01 3
- but the most likely to go are usually the most complete -- nm - zork Jun 25, 15:03 2
  - You'd be surprised. Sometimes these things are prepped just because the person is that famous. MJ, for example. -- nm - con_carne Jun 25, 15:06 1
    - of course, the really big names have to be ready -- nm - zork Jun 25, 15:10
