30 September 2012

Death of another month

I did mention last month that today is to be the first awarding of a monthly Good Service Award. I don't have anybody in particular to award this to, so this month's award goes to everybody who is eligible.

But I do have a Bellend of the Month for September 2012, and it's Jason McCoy. It was reported early this month that the Colorado dad filed an obituary with a local newspaper, claiming that his son Seth "went with the Lord". He told the Post Independent in Glenwood Springs that Seth had died Aug. 8 in a Denver hospital, and even submitted an obituary for the boy on Aug. 30. But Seth is alive and well, and living with his mother, Jennifer Stretch of Arapahoe County. This is a stupid idea for a joke. There are parents whose children really have died. While not illegal, fake obituaries are just not cool, especially in a state where two months ago, a gunman shot at dozens of moviegoers during a midnight screening of the new Batman movie.
