    "Morbid curiosity and ridicule have replaced respect for the deceased"?

    Isn't this just a more in-depth obituary? Sure the title is catchy to this story, and it grabs the reader, but is it true?

    I think it is a cool way to post a death.This kids my space was all about him, his likes, who he was, or wanted to be at that time in his life.If people want to know that about him, what better place to see it? Usually kids' my space is very revealing, right? it's in your face,honestly who they are.What better way to honor them, than to let everyone see that?Sheesh.I bet he would think it was awesome.I think obits in the paper are just notices of a death.Most don't really tell anyone about the person themselves.How is that respecting the dead?

    Shout from the rooftops about who he was.Celebrate it.That is honoring someone in death.
