Benoit.

Over the weekend the massively talented and well-respected WWE performer Chris Benoit apparently murdered his wife and child of seven years of age, then killed himself on the Monday. Details such as motive or murder weapon haven't been released as yet, but according to Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard...
"The details when they come out are going to prove a little bizarre."

Obese Racist Dies.

Expect to see a lot of "Racist? Naaah mate! 'Ee was the salt o' the Earth, loved 'his old muvvah 'e did" bullshit over the next day or so. Don't buy a bit of it. You don't spend fifty years of your life making racist jokes on stage and screen unless you're a total, dyed-in-the-wool cunt. Let's have a look at him being made a twat of- among others- on Brass Eye.

From digitalspy:

"A reality TV show which claimed that it would follow three young patients competing to win a kidney transplant has been revealed as a hoax.

The Big Donor Show - created by Big Brother producers Endemol - sparked outrage when it was announced by Dutch network BNN. The public was led to believe that the show would centre on a dying woman choosing a recipient for her kidneys.

However, Endemol have now announced that the programme was a hoax intended to create awareness of the shortage of donors in the Netherlands. While the show's "terminally-ill patient" was in fact a healthy actress, the three contestants are genuinely in need of transplants. All three were aware of the programme's true nature."

Okay, I got hoaxed. But it backs my point up completely that so many fell for this- in a world this fucked-up it sounds totally acceptable.
