John Landis. The man is an absolute tit, who blows his own horn on any nostalgia/greatest countdown that will have him. I hate him and his crappy name dropping anecdotes with a passion.

Fine to discuss a big story like Michael Jackson, or Obama when he gets shot, but Matt Lucas' ex 'husband' and the bloke from Manzone, no thanks.

I do sometimes get annoyed with collective mourning for people who not only you didn't know, but who had no impact on your life in any way. I'm not talking about Patrick Swayze or MJ but people who had never even heard of before they hit the headlines.
The Mawkishness surrounding Ken Bigley where it tranformed from "lets show our support for him and his family" into "we're mourning as a city! We're such a wonderful city to do this!"
Baby P was another one. What happened was horrible yes but that memorial. They're called memorials because you're supposed to remember what they were like when they were living. Most people didn't even know his name. Rather than buying a teddy for a child you never even saw, buy a teddy for a childrens hospital and make a suffering child's day.
I guess I suppose I'd find it insulting if someone who knew absolutely nothing about a loved one's death mourned alongside me as if they'd known the person all their lives.
