GreatWhiteNope Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=101124&page=1 What the hell is going on? That's the next story in ABC's cache after Reeve's death.
NoCalMike Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 is that fake or something? Why is the resolution and screen size so fucked up, and why is there a bunch of "x's" marking stuff out?
GreatWhiteNope Posted October 11, 2004 Author Report Posted October 11, 2004 is that fake or something? Why is the resolution and screen size so fucked up, and why is there a bunch of "x's" marking stuff out? The obituary is premade in advance - but it's next in line in their news cache after Reeve's death. Reeve's write-up looked just like this an hour ago.
2GOLD Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Ok, what is with all the XX's? Seriously, what is this?
2GOLD Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 I tend to agree, no way two major celebs have died on the same night. Although she was battling cancer but no way is this true. Those X's are making me think this is fake.
GreatWhiteNope Posted October 11, 2004 Author Report Posted October 11, 2004 She was 52 as well. I'm fucking freaked out right now.
Kurt Angle Mark Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 is that fake or something? Why is the resolution and screen size so fucked up, and why is there a bunch of "x's" marking stuff out? The obituary is premade in advance - but it's next in line in their news cache after Reeve's death. Reeve's write-up looked just like this an hour ago. it's like he said, Christopher Reeve's article looked exactly like that when it was first put on the site

Guest Nanks Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Shit, that site was pretty quick on the trigger for Reeve.
MrRant Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Hmm... could she really have died on her birthday? Since it's 10/10/52? Freaky if true.
Guest El Satanico Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Ozzy actually outlived her...amazing
MrRant Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Notice the only thing that is missing are dates. Odd if they prepare obituaries in advance....
snuffbox Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 I thought maybe abcnews just had all their obits lined up....but after the Osbourne story it goes to stuff about the Robert Blake trial... Im waiting for some serious confirmation on this one though...little too hard to believe that this night is this bad.
Guest El Satanico Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=101123&page=1 There's the Reeve article when it was first posted, complete with X's in key info areas.
NYU Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 I know for a fact that some websites do prepare an obituary in advance for celebrities that look to be getting close to dying. With that being said, a pre-written obituary for Sharon Osbourne doesn't seem to make much sense. Still, I don't think she's dead.
Guest Anglesault Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Notice the only thing that is missing are dates. Odd if they prepare obituaries in advance.... Reeve's was like that an hour ago.
Guest El Satanico Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Actually a pre-written obit for her does make sense, seeing as how she is battling cancer.
Chuck Woolery Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 They do pre-made obituaries for just about everyone, from what I understand, and it's not like Sharon wasn't in a lot of newsbits over the past couple of years. Still, if it is a mistake, one has to wonder how they made it. R isn't too close to O when it comes to alphabetizing, and ditto C to S. That's the main reason I think it's legit... you don't accidentally select to upload "creeve.html" and "sosborne.html" at the same time. Rest in peace.
Guest CronoT Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Okay, I've checked CBS and NBC news sites, and they have nothing on Sharon Osbourne being dead. [EDIT]-I also checked CNN.com and the Fox News Channel website. Nothing on Sharon Osbourne having passed away.
NYU Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Well, she WAS battling cancer. As far as I know, she had gotten completely rid of it and wasn't really suffering any ill effects because of it. If you're going to have a pre-written obituary for a celebrity, there just seems like there would be WAY more sensical people than Sharon Osbourne.
Guest El Satanico Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 They didn't report on Reeve for awhile either. ABC's site isn't showing this as a new headline, so it must be pretty fresh.

Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Is this true or not?
Guest Anglesault Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Is it safe to call this the night from hell? They're supposed to come in threes. Not three in a day.
Guest CronoT Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Is this true or not? Right now, the answer seems to be no.
snuffbox Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 They didn't report on Reeve for awhile either. ABC's site isn't showing this as a new headline, so it must be pretty fresh. They dont have the next stories numbered after the Sharon obit up on the front page yet either...
