Phantom 2,465 Posted January 20, 2016 Much like Glen Frey, they were big in the 70's, minor hit or two in the 80's, and living on that fame since... That's how the 80s Rewind shows work too. Even though the artist will come out to do a full set, they only screen the biggest hit on tv when they do the highlights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrorists & Topical Terrorist Targets Wait -- what? -- no! Terrorists is about a specific person, as is the word 'target'. If we see a link about a terrorist, it goes here. Not a terrorist ACT! That goes where I put it 'non-school massacre'. Any other interpretation is fucking obtuse. All school-related attacks go in the 'next school attack' thread.

As I understand it, TMIB requires that the other side also confirm his death before he qualifies for points. However, if TMIB wants to clarify and he qualifies on this basis, I'll add him to the next round up, but not yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll assume such folk need a qualifying obit from both the West and the Terrorists. That might seem blatantly easy to get, but the possibility is that some months down the line, the Middle East media report the confirmation from the terrorists and the Western media says, hey, we already know, we don't need to report this again.
