  1. Not sure if this thread is allowed or not. But since I'm starting to be a regular user - I kinda want a thread that focus on Denmark + i got my own dead pool in my signature, so that's that. Not sure if there are any other danes on this site or any none-danes who has interest but here goes.

     

    First death of 2020 (and this decade) that has shocked us. Loved actor, Søren Spanning, died today. 68 years old. Super shocked, didn't know he was sick. He appeared in many TV-series and movies.

  2. Not trying to be ignorant or anything. But can you name some of those 'well known in the UK' Indians? Because, I cannot name one single Indian athlete or politician I'd imagine being a "breaking news"-death or even have a headline on the frontpage. 

     

    Not saying that's why they don't include Indians. Which noteable Indians are missing and are due to a visit from the reaper?

     

    EDIT: Oh yeah they could be racist bastards on the committee. Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Reaction to his death in the U.S. is absolutely hysterical. 
     

    Americans idolise sporting stars and actors like they’re demi gods.

     

    Not only that. But people where I'm from, where basketball is literally the least broadcasted sports from America (NFL, NHL etc.), people are losing their mind. I doubt anyone knew what team he played for, what position and what he accomplished. 

     

    To be fair, I only know him due to my students using the term "Kobe" when tossing something succesfully. But other than that, nah. I feel just as sorry for the other victims. But the amount of tribute and whoring for likes over his death is hopelessly ridiculous considered it's coming from people that don't give 5 shits about basket. But each to their own, I guess. The hysterical reaction to Michael Jackson was a bit more understandable though it was a different time. But, I'm already tired of this.
