Which of these recent celebrity deaths affected you the most?

None of them really, except I think about MJ's kids. Kind of young to lose a parent.

None of these affected me even a little bit. I don't even know who Billy Mays is.

I was just thinking about making a survey like this.

Carradine... I started watch Kung Fu since his death. I love the bits of eastern wisdom in it.

Michael Jackson is just tragic... but, I also have a lot of his music in my head now.

Michael. The rest I wasn't familiar with enough. Michael, though, I used to follow his many changes-of-face with interest and liked a couple of his songs-saw him on MTV back when I used to have a TV. Fav song back then was "The way you make me feel." I liked HIM as a person - I could kinda relate to his "Peter Pan"-ness cuz I never liked the idea of growing up either.

David Carradine's death affected me the most. Me and my friends used to watch Kung Fu every week. Michael Jackson affected me the least. I haven't paid any attention to any of his music since he covered Rockin' Robin as a kid and did that song, Puppy Love around the same time. Billy Mays, well, now they have to find someone else to sell Oxi Clean I guess...

Michael Jackson and Billy Mays were both my age (50), so I put those highest. And Billy Mays was particularly close in age; he was born on July 20, and I was born on July 21.

The only way in which I was affected by any of these deaths is that I spent a few moments reading about them. Well, three of them - the other two I haven't even heard of.

They have affected me

Naturally we feel saddened by anyones passing, but I think Billy Mays surprised me, bothered me more...he was so young, and died possibly by a freak accident. Mr. McMahon was somewhat expected, being well into his years. Sadly Ms. Fawcett from a dreadful disease, and the other entertainers, nothing surprises me.

Michael, because I just really want to know more about him and stuff.

I don't get what the big deal with Billy Mays was, all I know he did was market things.

None - well, maybe MJ's bothered me the most because that's all everyone was talking about and it got old like after about 15 minutes...

Wasn't Puppy Love by Donny Osmond?

> Wasn't Puppy Love by Donny Osmond?

Mighta been, I don't really know. A lot of those songs back then were kinda like cars to me, and I can barely tell a Volkswagen from station wagon.

Well, Karl Malden died today too. I guess I sprung this survey a little too soon, eh? But if I waited any longer, bill woulda beaten me to it...

Funny, I could tell a Duster from a Demon from a Dart or I could tell the difference between a 1967, 68, 69 Camaro back then but now; they're all boxes with wheels to me. The only cars I recognize now are the models I've driven or am driving! I can't even recognize the same model as my son's car and I hear it's a really hot car, yet...

Ha! I found a picture just like his on the net!! Same colour and everything!


Ok, I cheated... I knew it was an Acura but I didn't even know it was an Integra, let alone what year it is... I just happened to have his registrations on my desk!

Even the mags look the same... But his is more of a cream colour, not so white. Nice looking car now that I've taken a good look at it but I still won't recognize another one if it passed my on the street.

I would say Michael Jackson. Not because I liked the guy, but becasue every idiot on the TV has to go on and on about him and every show has to cover all the stupid crap about him and all the mindless drone fans are sobbing, slobbering, and crying and making an ass out of themselves over some second rate twit. I will be glad when the fool is finally 6 feet under ground and hopefully the idiots will shut up about him.

David Carradine. Between Micheal Jackson and Elvis, way too many drugs, that did them both in. I love both of their music, but they did themselves in.

Hey, that's what DVD players are for...

I have better things to do than let those dumb celebrinty affect me.

None of them affected me personally at all - I didn't know any of them and I wasn't an avid fan of any of them. The last celebrity death to actually make me truly sad was Heath Ledger - because I was actually a fan of some of his films and I thought he had so much potential left in him.

None of them really affected me, to be honest.
