Teddy 21 Posted August 3, 2005 It says this with me - Peter Charles Jennings July 29, 1938 - July 21, 2005 Sorry Windsor, if you look at the history for the page, you will see someone did put in a date of death, but this has been revised, as he isn't dead yet.

Guest Guest Yank Posted August 4, 2005 A supermarket tabloid (while not the most credible source) is reporting this week that Jennings is near death with only 4-6 weeks left to live. I saw that article...apparently the Yeti is also doing poorly these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EastTXNewsProducer Posted August 7, 2005 On August 7th, an ABC News spokesman denied reports that Jennings's death was imminent. Rumors had spread on TV industry blogs that ABC had alerted key affiliates to prepare for Jennings's death, and that the general managers of those affiliates were alerted by phone. No such alert was ever sent, an ABC News spokesman says. Having worked for and ABC affiliate before they do tend to send affiliates messages that are not true through their N-A-S Network Alert System. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Blondie Posted August 8, 2005 How awful. I can't imagine not seeing his face any longer. I am so sad for his family, his friends, and his viewers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IYG Posted August 8, 2005 After a quick looksie, no one had Jennings on his/her list. Even though him having cancer weas announced 4 months ago I was expecting maybe one person having him on a list as a wildcard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dismayed Posted August 8, 2005 I don't understand how a game revolving around people dying is in any way right. One would suppose that once "You" make your list you then as a competitor would have to hope/wish your picks will die so you can win. That, in my opinion, is f**ked up big time. Deriving pleasure from the suffering and eventual death of people is wrong folks. Look at it honestly and I'm hopeful you'll agree. Enough said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deriving pleasure from the suffering and eventual death of people is wrong folks. Look at it honestly and I'm hopeful you'll agree. Enough said. Just a guess here, but I'm thinking that the inclusion or exclusion of someone's name on another person's celebrity dead pool list has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not said person lives or dies. In fact, if you read thru the thread, you'd see that no one had Mr. Jennings on his/her list. But he passed on regardless. And as for your comment that we 'derive pleasure from the suffering and eventual death of people' is patently false. No extra points are awarded for suffering.
