Death

This posting of Bob Dylan's death was a HOAX
The legendary singer-songwriter was found dead yesterday outside his hotel room in Oaxaca, Mexico. He was 71.
So Is Bob Dylan Dead? NO, this was a hoax. He was alive when this was made, and he has won a Noble prize for literature since then, so nope, not dead.

The lead singer of '60s band The Monkees died of a heart attack in Florida this afternoon. He was 66.

Where were YOU when Bob Dylan died?

And they're hologramming EVERYBODY.

To be fair, we never talked about her while she was alive because you never know what you've got until it's gone. #bigyellowtaxi #jonimitchell #notcountingcrows

Some Valentine's Day this is.

Oh god, is it too soon for "disco is dead" jokes? We on the internet don't have a filter for that kind of thing. Regardless, the 5-time Grammy winner and Queen of Disco, Donna Summer, passed away this morning at the age of 63 following a battle with cancer. She was known for such hits as "Last Dance", "Hot Stuff", "She Works Hard for the Money," and "I Feel Love."

Kids kill the darndest things.

You may have already heard how Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe was arrested in Prague for the 2010 death of a concertgoer. The internet (particularly the Metal Memes subreddit) reacted in characteristically swift and tasteless fashion. If it isn't too soon, it's probably not on the internet.

Beloved science fiction writer Ray Bradbury passed away today. Here's a song by someone who beloved Ray Bradbury a little too much. It's also extremely creepy if you don't know that this was made before he died (necrophilia: we don't endorse it here!).

Video also contains extremely strong language. If you're reading this, Grandma, please don't click the sideways triangle at the bottom left corner of the picture. It turns the picture into a movie about naughty things and you'll be so upset you might miss evening mass again.

Eduard Khil, or "Mr. Trololo" as he was known to millions on the internet, died today of complications following a stroke. He was 77.

Khil enjoyed popularity as a singer in Soviet Russia during the '60s and '70s before stepping down from the public stage in the early '90s. Then, in 2010, Khil achieved the dubious honor of Internet fame after a video of a 1976 televised performance went viral.

Khin replaced the lyrics of the song, titled "I Am Glad, 'Cause I'm Finally Returning Back Home," with alternating "lololols" and "lalalalas" because he was afraid the Soviet government would censor the original lyrics. Which proves that in Soviet Russia, memes make you.

This is supposedly meant to teach kids about death, but it'll leave them with more questions than answers.
