At least it was only herself she put at risk and ultimately killed, so I still have sympathy for her, unlike that drink-driving bellend who died the other week. R.I.P.

I do agree with the judgement not really being anyones business, im just more questionable about how 'fame' somehow makes someone more important. Facebook has completely exploded with statuses and comments yet the norway tragedy saw barely any. Im not saying she deserved it or whatever, I didnt actually mind her as an artist, but I feel the perspective needs to be pointed out. I dont really think such a thing should be glorified. There must have been some point where she allowed herself to go under so badly. I know that contradicts the concept of addiction, but meh. I have mates who have been the same, and its hard to have sympathy.

Because you can make off hand jokes about Amy Winehouse dying, whilst the death of 80+ Norwegians is a bit harder to satirise.

If people must make 'amusing' replies to spambots could they please at least report the spam posts so the mods know it's there rather than just waiting for one of us to stumble across it before it's removed please? Thanks :yes:

To be fair, it didn't click to me it was a bot, just a really annoying n00b.

Wasn't pointed at anyone in particular (though there was discussion about this latest thing being a bot and a, now deleted, post quoting it and calling it the 'worst spam ever') and no-one thought to report it.

It's just something that's happened a few times now and while personally I'd prefer it if these posts weren't replied to (particularly if the spam post is quoted) as it just makes more posts for me or Noodle to get rid of, I know that's never going to happen so I'm just asking if people could report the posts as well as replying to them, cheers :)

Has anybody worked out what the hell that spambot was actually promoting?

Re: Amy Winehouse - And now we're going to be seeing her plastered everywhere as some sort of martyr to "Rock and Roll, man." Because people are stupid and miss the point utterly.

It's very sad, and if it was an OD (which hasn't been confirmed yet, actually), it's an absolutely awful way to go.

You're right, she should stop complaining.
