It’s literally just rehashing an older headline (in this case it’s reusing the one Etta James had). They seem to be doing more of that lately (Gorby rehashing Castro is another)…

Oldest debutant is still living, so I’m going with Desmond Morris

One of those rare instances where the clickbait website was onto something!

It’s also true that there are much worse cases of octogenarian not being fit for the job. I’m looking at you Diane Feinstein and Chuck Grassley

A lot of those frustrations was for other reasons though looking back at it (like Gissoo posting every single nonentity in this thread). As for those mostly frustrated by actually posting in this thread, it seems to be only three or four people who actually yell at members for that, and I personally don’t think three or four people should dictate if this thread should be able to be posted in or not.

Just because someone believes that it’s anyone right to post any death here doesn’t mean that they have to do it themselves. It’s just more that people don’t deserve ridicule for posting here. Who cares if someone posts here or not? That’s there choice. No need to call them out here. Not everybody is an active contributor on the forum, and I think as long as they don’t post a death in a thread that said death was already mentioned in its perfectly fine to post in any thread that makes sense.

Tbf, he is the father of current US Secretary of State so it’s not that surprising when you factor that in

Five years later and I’m still alive? Drats, don’t think I can win this pool guys

I honestly assumed all of MLK jr’s brothers and sisters have died at this point, but no he has an older sister (Christine King Farris) who’s still alive at 95!

Admittedly stomach cancer can prove to really be a dark horse of a cancer

Seems like original alt obits host Amelia has died. Definitely an end of an era for some people

Honestly you could’ve just posted in the 100 club and be fine.

Ah yes, I too rely on the express to tell me if the Ayatollah is gravely ill or not
