Don't know about the jerk part but I agree with the rest. It has become pop culture and politically correct for society to openly mourn and make a spectacle of celebrity deaths. People crying over famous people they really know nothing about except the persona they put on in public and in front of the media. I guess in this age of media not acknowledging real heroes that give their lives for the public, or the great innovators who bring us miracle cures, or great inventors or benevolent world leaders the media instead focuses on entertainers to be our heroes and the gullible public trips all over themselves worshiping them and they have done nothing but speak a few scripted words for a charity, organization or some cause they probably don't know much about except they are being cast as a talking head to represent whatever the cause of the day is. Its a sad time alright goes to show how screwed up societys priorities are.
