The Obituary Column

I don't understand why anyone under 40 cares about Betty White.

It's rare to see a celebrity no one dislikes.  Her and Dolly Parton come to mind.

Also depends on your definition of "care". I'm not going to her funeral, but I grew up watching the Golden Girls with my Granny.  I liked her.

Because young people are a bunch of Cunts

Add The Golden Girls to the already long list of shows I've never seen.

[Derek Smalls]

I never watched any of the shows she was on, but she seemed funny and nice.

But you're right, maybe I should say people age 30 and up.

Match game was priceless.

Dolly Parton actually does stuff worthy of praise though. Post-GG Betty White just existed and seemed nice. Of course anyone old enough to remember GG has a good reason to be fond of her.

She's peppered in enough fun guest spots throughout the years that I can see the appeal of someone going back to her old work and enjoying it.

Betty White was big on animal rights apparently. If you care.

[bojanglesman]

I'd do her.  Yes I'm drunk.

. True, as with another distaff Carmel denizen, Doris Day.

Sidney Poitier, 94

[Heismanberg]

Crazy that he was younger than White.  He always just looked old as hell. 

[CatoTheElder]

They call him Mr. Tibbs.

At some point I realized some people just look old for about half of their life.

My dad and I attended the same high school 30+ years apart. The same baseball/basketball coach was there both times. I saw a pic of him from the 1970s and he looked old even back then. I think part of it is just the 20th century lifestyle compared to now.
