Although if you think about it, the entire justification for taking pleasure in her death is that she believed something they do not.

Wishing people dead only because they believe/think differently from you... I think thats one of the highest forms of bigotry one can have.

You're a cool Transformer, but you've got some wack ideas, dude. :p

I don't think its wack to want people to just treat each other with some kind of respect. I'm sick of the thinly veiled bigotry people wear around here sometimes... its one thing to say "I don't agree with X" or "I don't believe in Z and here is why..." - but there is something wrong with saying "I wish people who believe this or that would all die slowly...".

I don't take any sort of pleasure in her death...but frankly...i just don't care.

Not caring is one thing... and I understand that as so many people die every day. But there is a HUGE line between not being able to care and openly mocking the dead person, you know?

for me that all depends on how they died. This one...i see your point. Some moron that drinks and drives and kills himself running into a tree...that one would be open to anyone mocking it all they want.

Maybe she should have held on the extra large tub of popcorn with extra layered butter, nachos, and the extra large bladder buster coca-cola.

When I watched Gremlins 2 at the theater I exploded during the Hulk Hogan cameo.

What the article fails to mention is if she had a pre-existing heart condition.
Since it wasn't mentioned, is it safe to assume she didn't?

I bet that was more entertaining than that stupid ass movie.

In a semi-related story, I saw a guy have an epileptic seizure during "The Ninth Gate". It hit just about the scene where Jonny Depp wakes up and Baroness Kessler drives into the flaming library. At the time I thought it was slightly disturbing to see that during a movie where a guy tracks down books reportedly written by the devil. Now it's just good nef bait.

/Yeah, I've got absolutely nothing.

Well, this convinces me not to go see this movie. I do not want to have a CVA.

Chris Tucker said it best. She won't be around for the sequel.

Hate to be so general but the movie really sucked. It's like watching 8mm, so painful.

Wasn't it fairly common for people to be taken to the hospital when watching The Exorcist when it first came out in theatres?

She was probably a fatty and just waiting to die at any moment anyhow.

No, it's save to assume that the article is a useless piece of sh*t. I'm sure I could write one that went "26 people last year die while wearing Ironman digital watches."

What was her age ? Her overall health ? Her weight ?

Yeah, no mention of any of that. Sounds like something written by a high school student just to stir ideas up.

She also could have been a Jeebus fanatic and became physically overwhelmed by the scenes in the movie. Religion can really do weird things to your mind which sometimes have an impact on your health.
