Am I the only one creeped out by the "In Memoriam" ads in the classified section? You know. The ones that are written to the deceased?
Well, these put in the Daily News by the Gotti clan are particularly disturbing and, well, almost threatening.
For the record, I'm alive and I refuse to read the Daily News. If you need to get ahold of me when I've left this mortal coil try something a bit more literate.

The whole "In Memoriam" thing is big down south, where the bereaved are prone to writing very bad poems about lost loved ones. Kind of like that dinner scene in Meet the Parents.
Posted by: Vernam on June 10, 2003 11:42 PMFunny, I've lived in the South my whole life and never heard of this newspaper thing. In Memorium poems have been around forever, though. Of course, it was always creepy/sad to see In Memorium yearbook pages to the students who'd died during the course of the year.
