- if you think someone here is gonna say such things about you, then you're really an idiot -- nm - dogbert Jan 28, 11:24 1
  - sigh -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 28, 11:27
- You had no choice. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 28, 11:23 1
  - technically, I had a choice - tRuMaN Jan 28, 11:24

If you were a tv news producer, would you send a cameraman to the Salinger funeral? -- nm - Loyola Jan 28, 11:14 26

- who said there was going to be a funeral? -- nm - tik tok Jan 28, 11:17
- they should have sent a poet -- nm - cameraman Jan 28, 11:16
- if I were a producer, yes. If I were following my own moral sense, no. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 11:15 20
  - what's immoral about covering a funeral? -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 11:15 19
    - my picture was in the paper as a pallbearer last year. I got calls from 6 different people saying they saw it. - dogbert Jan 28, 11:23 2
      - "Congratulations on getting the paper!" doesn't seem quite right for that situation. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 11:24 1
        
        exactly. the first call was "hey, I saw you in the paper". I thought "really? that's cool." (I've never been in a paper that I know of). he told me - dogbert Jan 28, 11:27
    - I wouldn't say it's immoral per se, but Salinger would have probably *hated* it. -- nm - Loyola Jan 28, 11:18
    - depends whether it's open casket. -- nm - mafic Jan 28, 11:17
    - grieving family members might see it as an invasion, by shark-like people hoping to profit off their grief -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 11:17 13

        *laughing* News stations are probably already inflating the blimps. -- nm - Loyola Jan 28, 11:21
        
        Hee. Not that kind of angle. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 11:20 1
        
        "A local cemetery owner has installed a skycam to cover celebrity deaths. We went to interview the family of JD Salinger to get their response." -- nm - Max Jan 28, 11:23
      - By that definition, it could possibly be immoral to cover the funeral of a president if the family wanted it private. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 28, 11:18 7
        
        except the president in a emminently public figure, therefore covering his funeral is relevant and newsworthy. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 11:26 6
        
        funerals get in the paper when a) the person is significant b) the manner of their death was significant. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 11:28 4
        
        obituaries, yes. funerals, not in my experience. - znufrii Jan 28, 11:37 3

Too Human managed to do one thing for me that Borderlands didn't: I farmed my ass off in TH. -- nm - Shaun Jan 28, 11:02 9
- farmed? I'm not up on the lingo. What do you mean by farmed? -- nm - crash davis Jan 28, 11:13 6
  - TH had a set of epic armour for each classes. They dropped very rarely but you got an ach for getting the whole set, so it was something to work for. - Shaun Jan 28, 11:17 5
    - hmm, maybe, but borderlands is more fun, and has more dlc coming, with a level cap increase -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 28, 11:23 2
      - Still doesn't solve the loot system. -- nm - Shaun Jan 28, 11:25 1
        
        I'm the opposite, I don't get the farming for a game I'll stop playing once I'm done with the farming - Guigue Jan 28, 11:28
    - ah, thank you -- nm - crash davis Jan 28, 11:17 1
      - And considering you can probably get it for less than $15 now, it's worth a look. I spent 100+ hours total on that game. -- nm - Shaun Jan 28, 11:19
- ass crops? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 11:07 1
  - Wasn't he Attorney General? -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 11:07

    - I'm really starting to hope that Tebow turns out to be a stud QB. - Jim Jan 28, 11:36
