2017 killed 2016 -- May the murdering spree finally end.

Absolutely NO ONE so far. We're off to a great start.
-
The Queen hasn't been seen for 11 or 12 days, apparently down with some kind of bug.
2017 might start its list off with a bang.

Ignore me!
ETA: Correcting wrong date
-
I thought he was a few days ago? I remember this on the other thread.
-
Oh maybe? The article I read said it was today but they may have the date wrong?

@TNP The thing I love about Betty White is that she was around before sliced bread was mass-produced. So if anyone asks what the best thing was before sliced bread, it's Betty White.
@GangOfDolls Yeah, he was the last one grabbed by 2016. (At least, I saw the stories before it hit midnight here, and I'm EST +1)

Ok 2017. Don't get any funny ideas about QEII

I already called this one, man! You can't uncall my call! Uncool!

Fixed!

@Kanye-Qwest Do ships count though? I mean, I'd be sad to see the first cruise ship I ever set foot on be scrapped - even if she's laid up at present.

@Tinuviel I'd say it could count, in a sense. It's still a cultural icon, even if not a person, and there's a genuine loss whenever we lose one of those.
Oh fucking well.
-
@surreality Mmm, I suppose so. Does it count as a "celebrity" though?
He/Him
-
@Tinuviel Eh, I'd count it under a well-known cultural icon, really. It isn't a person, but it is a celebrated part of culture.

You guys are so morbid.

John Berger, English author, critic, and painter, died yesterday. Maybe not the kind of celebrity we're used to, but.

'Ways of Seeing' is an incredibly important work, especially when it comes to studying subcultures. We'd never have gotten Hebdidge without him.
