Russell Brand: Robin Williams’ divine madness will no longer disrupt the sadness of the world
The Guardian ^ | August 13, 2014 | Rusell Brand

Posted on 08/13/2014 7:25:48 AM PDT by Biggirl

I’d been thinking about Robin Williams a bit recently. His manager Larry Bresner told me that when Robin was asked by a German journalist on a press junket why the Germans had a reputation for humourlessness that Williams replied, “Because you killed all the funny people.”

New F.R. Rule

Every Time this idiot shows up in the news, just like Marueen Dowd. The pic of the Ex is posted.

In this case, Katy Perry

Absolutely no sympathy whatsoever for this Williams guy. There are people right now in the middle east having their children beheaded for being Christian, Islamo-Nazis starting the Holocaust 2, and nobody is helping them because we have a US President who encourages it, who BTW Williams supported, and this guy is awwwww depressed because his ex-wives took $30 million from his $130 million dollar fortune, and awwww....he has to “take movie roles he doesn’t like”?? AWWWW. Give-me-an-effin break. A lot of suicides are done out of spite and that seems to be the case here “I’m going to make my ex-wives feel like crap for taking MY money” Please spare me with this crap. Let’s see how suicidal he would feel running away from ISIS with his kids in tow.

Enough of this maudlin coverage of a fading star, whose death wouldn’t have merited more than a paragraph of coverage had he not killed himself. What kind of lesson does this adulation give to the mentally unsteady and/or teenagers? The media should be ashamed of themselves.

The minority party of psychologists deserving of respect might call this “projection.”

Excerpt:

“Do you have time to tune in to Fox News, to cement your angry views to calcify the certain misery?”

Just another clueless leftist that continues to swallow the lies of a Marxist propaganda media.

Stalin’s “Useless Idiots” at the NYT & its readers continues to support the communist overthrow of America.

” whose death wouldn’t have merited more than a paragraph of coverage had he not killed himself. “

Ironic about the “World’s Greatest Dad” plot.

We must pray to WR. He was the only true light in todays world. Those who did not listen to him BEFORE his suicide will be saved only after watching one of his movies./s

The British press are reporting that friends said Williams was very worried about money - and lack of well-paying jobs in his immediate future. His divorces cost him a lot of money - and while they didn’t say where the remainder went, I assume much was pissed away.

At the time of his death, he was living in the original house his mother had owned.

I concur with the new rule.

But also note that there are better pictures of Perry that can (and should) be used.

True of many women, but particularly so for Miss Perry -- too much of her "beauty" is makeup:

Excellent point and one that crossed my mind after observing the widespread dismissal of suicide — expressed here.

>> The media should be ashamed of themselves.

More than the media.

Yeah, we know. You’ve only posted the same thing about a dozen times. For someone with no sympathy, you sure feel a great need to express your opinion over and over again.
