Generally I don't give a shit about celebrity deaths. But here's one I do care about. Rodney Dangerfield was funny.

Rodney Dangerfield dead at 82

One of the few people who had a natural talent to be funny. Hmm, we need more comedians...

wow. i will really miss him. seems we're losing a lot of people our generations grew up with in pop culture. according to the story, he woke from his coma long enought o kiss his wife and smile at his doctors.

many people don't even get that chance. if there is a better place out there, i'm sure he's finally getting his respect.

Truthfully, I won't waste my time worshiping another mediocre star, but Caddyshack (the first one) was very funny. That impacted 90 minutes of my life, and it does seem that Mr. Dangerfield left his mark on the world.

SNL did a nice homage to Rodney Dangerfield this week.

A staple of american comedy. He was a very funny man who really " didn't get enough respect ". RIP.
