Just saw that he died. Great.
Now we'll be inundated with at least three weeks of nothing but coverage of his death, rememberances, the huge honkin' funeral (live on TV, with many repeats, I'm sure), biographies, the works.
I think the execs at all the major media outlets just ejaculated.
You mean like this?....
