time 8,626 Posted October 21, 2012 I'm not sure why you'd need an additional source, whether it be HP or anything else, but as you're in charge, its entirely up to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,543 Posted October 26, 2012 I can see the argument for Huff Post, but I don't like it. It's going to make "dying bride/mother who needs cancer medication/inspirational vlog recording dying teenager" obits a lot easier to get, which is the last thing the DDP needs. I'm gonna feel seedy enough making ol' dying Korean with religious parents broad my captain next year as it is, I don't need her accompanied by a supporting cast of similarly unfamous peeps.

Spade_Cooley 9,543 Posted December 8, 2012 Fair play DDT, it's not been as breathtaking as last year's win but it was a consummate performance. If last year was Brazil this year was Germany.

maryportfuncity 10,658 Posted December 16, 2012 I'm considering including the UK edition of Huffington Post from 2013 as a legitimate site for obits. Any thoughts? No strong opinions either way. They're credible enough, but only because a lot of others had already fallen to HP levels of celebrity tittilation before they arrived. It'll count for the Deathrace, but that's summat of a low-hanger fest anyway. The real test is what difference - if any - it might have made to this year's DDP result.
