It’s one of those things that is so hilarious, it’s hard to believe that no one’s thought up this exact scene for a movie or a series. A case of life being more [...] -De MSN.es, de esta mañana. Pero qué asco son los medios masivos. Siguen con su rollo de siempre de convertir a la gente en objetos — fácilmente reemplazables para nuestra consumición — aunque la chica se murió hace sólo una semana. Pero una semana ya es mucho! Hay que empezar la búsqueda oficial de “nuevas [...]  She was a cypher, already difficult to know when she became humongous in 2006. As the years went by, what we saw became more and more tacky: wandering half-naked down the London streets, strung-out and incoherent, her bad implants popping out of her skimpy dresses. The continued public bad behavior; the YouTube video of her [...]  One of the most revolting and strangely depressing nature docs I’ve seen.

Then, when I [...] Bernie Arieff, 1928-2009. Hoy entierran a mi tío Bernie, en el mismo cementerio donde yo, junto a varios tíos en trajes negros, cargué con el ataúd de mi tío Bobby hace un mes. Recuerdo que, al entrar en el cementerio, pasamos por la lápida de la mujer de Bernie. En ese momento, Bernie estaba en urgencias [...] Acabo de enterarme de que anoche murió mi otro tío, Bernie.
