Dead people's Facebook pages

Yeah, you guys are right, but it's still a lil weird.

[Mrs. Gooch]

Well it's weird when it is just normal activity - like RSVPing to an event - not memorial type stuff.

[bubbles4ksu]

seems like a pretty good way of remembering someone

some families are great with it, but i've seen several who are awkward or just plain attention seeking.

internet in the afterlife confirmed.

You can follow Mitch Hedberg on twitter. And royalswild. I say quit being freaked out by death. When I die, I hereby license goEMAW to retweet all my rants as they inevitably become relevant again.

Does his status say "right behind you"?

[420seriouscat69]

Yeah, good call Felix. I want SD to take over my account when I die party rocking after a natty.

No but I am going to the event he is "going to" so now I'll be looking for him.

What if, in addition to the Facebook legacy page, they also had an urn with his face on it and it was pre-loaded with all his classic sayings so at parties you could shake it like a magic 8 ball and ask him questions?

I'm pretty sure I want my family to do that with me.

I think it's fine, an Ememorial.

by the time I am about to die of old age at about 150 they will be uploading people to google drive.

i like to look up facebook pages of local people when they die to see what kind of person they were, and try and decide how they died.

it would take someone at google a week to make an algorithm with a more relevant and fun bbs and twitter personality than 90% of sports fans.

what if someone were to create an entire fanbase to unleash on internet message boarding?

OK so what about when the dead person starts posting on Facebook? Is that weird?

Not dead.

Not dead.

As do I.  I do the same on people who get arrested, too.

[michigancat]

grief is a weird thing. So is facebook. So there you go.

also, prayers for royalswild.

[OK_Cat]

what happened to royalswild?  too much seagrams?

[felix rex]

Beer pong tragedy

[Mrs. Gooch]

Is it normal to make a Facebook event for a funeral? (Not from the dead person's account, I just thought this was the best thread to discuss this.)

[420seriouscat69]

Seems pretty efficient to me.
