People that fake death reports are not high on my favorite people’s list at the moment.

I have no clue why there has been an uptick in fake reports of celebrity deaths as of late, but it has gotten to the point of being annoying, and it certainly isn’t funny.

The other day I wrote up a post about the passing of drummer Chuck Biscuits.  It has now been revealed to be a hoax, and Mr. Biscuits is alive and well.  While I am thrilled that he is alive, I couldn’t be more annoyed with the person who started spreading this rumor.  Now, I do not blame the original site, JG2 Land, he reported this news in good faith, and he believed himself to be in contact with the wife of Chuck Biscuits from as far back as this summer.  So, just to be clear, I do not feel that blog is at fault for this.

This is just one example of the numerous fake deaths reported this year, and I wish I could figure out what sort of sick and twisted individual gets a thrill out of leading friends, family and fans to believe someone is dead?  Is your life really that sad that you have to get your jollies from depressing other people?

Whatever the case may be, luckily Chuck Biscuits is alive, and I can now just go back to wondering what sort of idiot this person is that started this whole thing.
