Re: Celebs are still dropping off....
I'm in no way a fan of Caroline Flack (not that I knew much about her) but we have a ridiculous relationship with celebrity in the modern era.
She had a domestic and did some stupid stuff. The CPS have to do their job and investigate, they have to follow the law. Suddenly, Caroline Flack is demonised, harassed, vilified in the media and so on, it all gets lapped up.
This is so bad that she kills herself. Suddenly, Caroline Flack is a Saint, wrongfully accused, or could do no wrong etc. People coming out the woodwork calling for a change to laws, blah blah blah.
The reality is that Caroline Flack is a person, a human. She's flawed, emotional, brittle perhaps, did a stupid fucking thing. Pretty much like loads of the population in one form or the other.
We've lost the ability to have a middle view of celebrities and forgotten that they're actually people along with that. I appreciate that they often don't help themselves but ffs we need to learn something from this. Doubt it though.

Also Ming the Merciless, Three-Eyed-Raven and the narrator from the Skyrim trailer. I had no idea he'd had such a prolific career until I had to look up the immediately-recognisable-but-can't-quite-put-my-finger-on-it character he played in The Force Awakens.

Don't we all technically die from "heart complications"?
