(who, for purposes of this discussion SHOULD remain nameless, seeing how googlable we are here.) her suggestion was that someone float a fake obit. i wonder what it would take to start a bit of a rumor, complete with cause and place of death. you know, like heart failure during sex with………

yeah, it'll get debunked. but in that cycle before it does, a lot of stuff that ordinarily does not get mentioned will indeed get mentioned.
