Americans love dead people

let's face facts, Americans love dead celebrities

This has to be good...someone dead is in it. The new Batman movie opened this weekend, and I'm interested in seeing it. I've been a Batman fan for years. Batman movies have done well over the years, but this latest film has become the biggest opening weekend movie ever. Why is this? Did more people finally identify with Batman as a troubled hero? Did they draw comparisons to their own lives? Are we all just silly? Nope...it's because the movie has a dead guy in it.

It's time to face it, we have an obsession with dead people. Think about it, this movie is making millions, and some are calling for Heath Ledger to receive an Academy Award. I'm sure he would have preferred to receive it while he was alive. But now that he's dead...he's got to win!

This phenomenon is not new. Kurt Cobain and Nirvana have sold thousands of albums and other merchandise AFTER Cobain decided that he had too much money and needed to die. Elvis Presley leads the list in top earning, dead celebrities. Who would have watched those "The Crow" movies until Brandon Lee died in the making of it? Can anyone name something worthwhile Anna Nicole Smith was in? Yet the E! channel treats her like Mother Theresa. What about Selina? Who gave a crap about her music until she was murdered.
Friends, what it comes down to is that we all like each other. But we like each other better when we're dead. Let's face facts, if you want to be sell more books, movies, or music...or if you just want to be better liked... you're better off dead.
