Found In the Woods

Some people jab at me for playing a lot of WoW, but on the flipside I point directly at this steamy pile of shit:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/In-Loving-Memory-of-Lawrence-Kutner-on-House/63172043443?v=feed&story_fbid=62328588089&nctrct=1239135106140

For those of you unlucky souls who can’t see this, it’s a tribute page on Facebook for a character on a show called House. The character, played by Kal Penn, is named Dr. Kutner, and apparently he died in the TV show. Yes, Dr. Kutner died. Not Kal Penn. The page is entitled “In Loving Memory of Lawrence Kutner on House”. At first I thought this was a joke. But then I read on. And got scared. Not only is it not a joke, but people, who are obviously VERY detached from reality or complete media whores/slaves, have posted replies like these:

I still can’t wrap my head around this. I cried like a little baby at the end of the show. I don’t understand a single bit of it…. But why was Taub so disconnected from his death. He was the closest to him and it seems like he was just pushing it away as if it didn’t happen. Sure he cried at the end… we all did. I sure as hell hope that this is some kind of bad dream that someone is having. I don’t know what to think of House and its writers. Bad move.

That was sad. I hope my boss hires a grief counselor and offers me some time off, I could use it!! I think it sucks big time but I understand why they did it. It’s another mystery for House to solve. I would’ve preferred either one of the other two though. The next couple weeks should be awesome. I love House. 🙂

I DIDN’T KNOW HIM PERSONELY BUT I REALLY LIKED WATCHING HIM ON HOUSE. HE SEEMED LIKE SUCH A NICE YOUNG MAN. HE WAS OBVISLY HURTING IN SOME WAY AND I WISH SOMEONE CLOSE TO HIM COULD HAVE SEEN IT IN TIME TO STOP WHAT HE DID. HE WILL BE MISSED ALLOT BY ALL WHO KNEW AND WATCHED HIM…….. MY CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO WATCHED AND LIKED HIM…….. REST IN PEACE LAWRENCE…………

I love this last one from someone who OBVIOUSLY WORKS IN THE ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT. The comments on the pages go on and on like this. Some folks are level-headed, discussing the character and the implications of him leaving the show, how it will affect the storyline, the actor’s choice/reasons for leaving, etc. But so many more of the posts are heartfelt “OMG” and “WTF” posts, with people expressing real emotion to the “loss” of this character. Wow. This is mind boggling. I will never in my life come close to comprehending this nonsense. It just completely baffles me. How shallow are these people… and I suspect that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Sad.
