Tony Todd, 69.
How? Was it a really fat bird?
John Prescott
More importantly, Milhouse.
Neither actor nor character are dead - unless you're mourning 30 years since Richard Nixon's passing, which would be entirely understandable.
Voice actor retired = character dead. We'll have no Maude Flanders replacement voice actors on my watch, thank you very much.
(Note: I don't think I've watched The Simpsons in about 10 years at this point)
Only 10?

I rewatch the golden years all the time. It gets better and better.
Fully deserved. Stay in your lane, members of the public. Otherwise we won't remember you.
The speed of that jab from Prescott. You never lose it.
Quality left. Farage has always pussied out.
RIP
Saw a William Hague tweet an obit of Prescott and got very confused because I thought Hague was also dead.
Eminem’s mum.
Fuck you, Debbie!

Wonder if we'll (he'll)speak at the funeral.

I doubt it, that would take ages.Originally Posted by Shindig
I'm up for it if someone else will too.
Kiko's got a eulogy ready in six languages.
Eddie Stobart
If you'd asked me I would have said he died, maybe, 75 years ago. A new record for 'thought he was dead already'.
Another CEO gone. Good riddance.
Yeah surely this is junior?
The younger worked himself to death turning the dog and pony show the old man had into a national concern, allowing the parents to sit around bible bashing and living to a ripe old age. There must be a metaphor in there somewhere.
If your business idea had taken off would you have been obliged to kill yourself?
That was the dream.
No because I could never be a cunt which is why it failed lol.
And in a nutshell, that is what everyone thinks.
What a sad view of the world you have.
You misunderstand me I think. No one (or very few people) go into these things actively trying to be a cunt, let alone believing they are and they will come up with a myriad of reasons why they're not and that they're doing things for the greater good overall. Some are, some aren't. Being a CEO no more automatically makes you a cunt than not being one doesn't.
Bull. Shit.
Believe what they want. To hold a position of power that holds corporate ideals above human ones makes you a complete cunt.
The personality traits and behaviours which are virtually prerequisites to climbing the corporate ladder to the level of CEO are those of a cunt.
It isn't though is it, other than it more likely marks you out as a probably well connected wrong'un at elite level, and a bit of a div if you are calling yourself a CEO of your one man band homemade cat food enterprise.
And what Yev is saying is that the people who work for Nestle, the people who work for whoever else, that do questionable things in the eyes of some, the people who don't adequately respond to concerns about children being abused, don't do them for knowing badness, they do them as 'part of their job' and they use that to rationalise themselves as not bad people.
I say again, is Warren Buffet a bad guy? What about that Patagonia guy who gave all his money/his company away to charitable causes? Bill Gates?
Being the CEO of a company doesn't make you a cunt. However, choosing to work in an industry that leads to poverty and the death of poor people makes you a cunt, and being the CEO of said company makes you a super cunt. You can't choose to work in an industry that is so horrific and not expect to face any blowback.
Yeah, fucking Doogie Howser MD, burn the cunt.
In attempting to justify the extrajudicial killing of somebody on the basis of their 'corporate ideals' you are doing exactly this you massive mong.
How many CEO’s have you spent any time or (ideally) worked with?
This is the bit I simply can’t get my head around. “Killing is wrong, well, apart from those times where I really don’t like the person”.
I mean, what in the actual fuck?
You’ve been watching too much Succession (or the like) as this is absolute nonsense. In some cases, sure, but you’re basically marking them all as exactly the same which is moronic.
I mean, how many tears did you cry when Osama Bin Laden got shot in the face? Not many, I imagine. Why would anyone sympathise with a scumbag dying?
I didn’t cry any tears, but I sure as shit wasn’t celebrating it either and I maintain to this day that unless it was absolutely necessary it shouldn’t have happened.
And it’s not about sympathy, more about the right thing to be doing and (unless an actual war is happening) killing people is not the right thing to be doing. Celebrating it is fucking weird and for me marks someone out as an unhinged.
Even Henry?
I'm a twit
Which makes me think, marking all CEO’s out as scum is merely a reflex action to defend a position said unhinged person knows is wrong, isn’t it?
No, because as I have exhaustively reiterated, I fundamentally disagree with the death penalty regardless of how scummy the person is. Whether that's delivered by the state or vigilantes.
I don't celebrate this guy being killed. My position is that if you squash people enough and make inequality extreme enough, this kind of thing is an inevitable outcome. Whether I agree with it or not (I don't) is irrelevant.

Just playing devil's advocate here. Why does one country deciding to declare war on another (eg. Russia on Ukraine), suddenly making killing people acceptable?
It doesn't, necessarily, hence war crimes etc, but isn't the point that killing people is somewhat of a necessity in a war situation, so if the war is just, then so might be the killings?
At what point does it become "just" for the people to go to war with the powers that be?
War is when reality wipes its muddy feet on the doormat of good intentions that governs our lives the rest of the time.
