What famous person's death would inspire you tp start laughing (even if you hated yourself for it later)?

Thanks to the Dodgeball thread I realized that the headline "Eric Stoltz Dies" would cause a long spurt of giggling. I don't particularly wish him any harm but evidently his passing would be cause for amusement.

Anybody you can think of? And how would you like to see them go?

I'd like to see Donald Trump lose everything... and live. Maybe as a security guard in Studio City. A broken, pitiful man with a bad credit rating.

So basically this thread is "Who Do You Wish Was Dead?"

NO! Read above where I note that I wish Eric Stoltz no ill will! Some people are taking the easy road, I'll admit.

Try to think of somebody who you're fine with having a long and healthy life and yet would probably start laughing if you found out they slipped on a bar of soap.

There are loads of people I think deserve death more than Jay Leno, but something about seeing the unfunny funnyman bite it would make me laugh a little.

Something about crappy comedians dying is just funny! Maybe it's their one chance at being genuinely amusing, I don't know.

Rocker Ozzy Osbourne turned into a soggy 30-lb. pile of dirt and dust today when most of the water that constitutes a human being just evaporated away. Doctors were unsurprised. "Mr. Osbourne should have died twenty years ago from all the weird chemical reactions he put to his body. It was just entroy catching up with him," said Dr. John Godtnohardt, a family physician.

See, you all are just coming up with silly ways for people you don't like to die. What about "legitimate" deaths?

For example, I smiled a little bit when I heard about Ray Charles today. He sure did pick one helluva week to go, like poor Robert Mitchum dying a day before Jimmy Stewart.

If Eric Stoltz died, a part of me would die.

I used to be so obsessed with him when I was 12. I had a webpage and a fanclub and I carried around a folder full of his interviews and pictures everywhere I went.

Now, I don't really understand where the obsession came from, but he was such a huge part of my adolescence.
