We're sad to see the passing of television star Gary Coleman. Indeed life is too short. And we'd never poke fun at someone's death, especially if that person was an
80's sitcom star. But we can't help but wonder (
SATC 2 playing in a theater near you this weekend) the irony of dying via something that was spelled out in the name of your television show.
Thomas Gallant and I were going back and forth on IM discussing the potential ways other 80s sitcom stars might take the final bow in accordance with the name of their show.
- Alan Thicke dies of calf cramps
- Kim Fields goes while having rough sex
- Justine Bateman bites it through improper use of neckwear
- Mark Paul Gosselaar killed during an accident at the Liberty Bell
- Candace Cameron bled to death as a result of a paper cut in Las Vegas
- Patrick Duffy falls down three flights of stairs
- Ricky Schroeder chokes on an eating utensil made from a precious metal
- Kadeem Hardison dies in an explosion during a chartered flight to Mars
I'm sure you sick bastards can think of more. With my ticket to Hades in hand, I ask that you let 'em rip in the comments section.
