The man behind such cracking reads as "Jesse Jackson and the Jews", "The Holocaust Explained", "Jewish TV: Sick Sick Sick" and "Boycott the Jewish Weapon", Eustace Mullins, is presumably spending the afterlife being sodomised with menorahs after dying aged 82.

Less, more, less.

There really can be no journalistic trend worse than padding out the obits of civillians with quotes taken from their Facebook wall.

One half of the Brisco Brothers, and the (one of the many) man who (claimed to have) discovered Hulk Hogan, Jack Brisco is dead at 68.

He's clearly forgotten he said that already

Brother speaks righteous, sister says "funky".

If Sara Payne is well enough to give statements to the press about anything other than her immediate death, it's probably fair to say that anyone who picked her for 2010 has a busted flush.

Totally stoked for the movie version of Catched In The Rye directed by Diablo Cody and starring Michael Cera as Holden.

Howard Zinn is history aged 87.

Lord Raglan, direct-line descendant of the man responsible for the Charge of the Light Brigade, extinguished aged 82.

"Lady In The Lake" killer Gordon Park found dead in his prison cell aged 65.

And here's a UK obit for him.

Turn-of-the-90s New Jersey MC Apache has smoked his last peace pipe age 44 after battling a "long illness". If anyone else that dies this month does anything as great as " " at any point in this career, I'll be stunned.

From this week's Wrestling Observer: Should obit in The Sun when he goes for DDP purposes.

There may be a suck-out at some point later in the year when one of the broadsheets runs their yearly "EVERY NOW AND THEN A REALITY TV CONTESTANT KILLS THEMSELVES HERE IS A LIST OF THEM WHAT A PSYCHOLOGICAL DISASTER" article, but even then, it'd be hard to shoehorn her into that.

Welsh radio mainstay Gary Price has been taken off the airwaves aged 64.

Rapper Waka Flocka Flame has been shot twice in the chest at a car wash and is currently in critical condition...

Let's keep it romantic: February 14.

Kate McGarrigle is done aged 64. Neil McCormick demonstrating he has no idea who she is by just typing her name into Spotify and then talking about her talentless children for a bit instead.

All I'm picturing is:

On a similar note, Bis frontwoman Manda Rin has been battling multiple sclerosis for over a decade now, which while not being a short-term health concern, probably marks her down as a potential suicide risk. Rin was memorably described in an NME review once as singing "like a stuck pig on a sugar rush".

Chess Records artiste and songwriter Bobby Charles is out aged 71. Tracks penned by him include "See You Later, Alligator", so you can do your own pun.

Well, if you didn't know him by now...

DJ Too Tuff. I went back and forth on whether to have him in my team as captain or not at all, but erred on the side of caution. If Roc Raida's death didn't even make the Guardian music section, then it's probably safe to say that the bar for UK obituaries for mid-range hip-hop DJs is pretty high.
