Alas poor Yorick I knew him by fiveplustwo

Alas poor Yorick I knew him

and to be (or not to be) perfectly honest, he was a bit of an arsehole. But we shouldn't speak ill of the dead......... or should we?

Why, when celebrities die, do we always hear so many tributes with people fawning all over them to make them out to be paragons of virtue and angelic, kind, perfect souls. Why isn't anybody ever honest?

Why doesn't somebody tell the truth for once. I would love to hear someone on the BBC news, just once, say "He leaves behind a wife and three children, who are all really glad to see the back of the miserable old bastard. He will not be missed at all, and his parting will leave a huge hole in their hearts filled with joy and happiness."

@fiveplustwo theme - drama

hahaha it is a question I have often asked - it appears that everyone is a paragon of virtue at death :)

This is a superb image, I love it! Great background choice. And oh yes yes yes, nobody who dies is ever awful, are they? Unless we have decided they are awful before they die, in which case the press forget all the good things they did..... we are a tad baby and bathwater methinks. All or nothing. I suppose a bit of balance is out of the question.......to balance or not to balance, dear Yorick.

You are always on point. When OJ died recently, I said, 'Good riddance. You murdering mother fu*ker' . I don't curse often, but when I do, its honestly spoken. Wonderful job!

when my asshole brother-in-law died several years ago, i said satan must be planning to retire. while his daughter sang him praises, i bluntly told what he was about. the old folks back home always said that 'only the good die young'. so when a young(er) asshole dies, i think they're so bad they just have to leave this earth.

nice holiday home. and a fabulous drama shot, good sir. aces!
