Oops, posted the same shit in the prisons thread. Either way, he's worth a watch and - mebbe - a punt.

Maryport is a disappointment for which there is no cure, but the annual Deathrace thread hereabouts provides welcome distraction.

Bernie Madoff's son, Mark Madoff, has committed suicide by hanging.
What are heavy? Sea-sand and sorrow;
What are brief? Today and tomorrow;
What are frail? Spring blossoms and youth;
What are deep? The ocean and truth.

That's like really sad and everything. At least hanukkah was early ths year and he waited until it was finished with so it wasn't all spoiled. (the Madoffs are Jewish) Will they let his dad out for the funeral?

In the good ol' US of A, Mark Madoff's death actually received more media coverage than Leslie Nielsen's passing!!!!!!

You would think that Mark Madoff was you know, actually a real celebrity. Of course he ain't!!!
Will 2011 be it for the following?
Fidel Castro, Kim Jong-il, Dick Cheney, Margaret Thatcher, Billy Graham, Aretha Franklin, Ariel Sharon, Peter Falk, Elizabeth Taylor, Annette Funicello, Gerry Rafferty (RIP, gone right down the line to Heaven), Kirk Douglas, Zsa Zsa Gabor, James Garner, Jerry Lewis, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sir Richard Attenborough, Dick Clark, Harlan Ellison, Michael Douglas (joker)

Irrelevant.

Leslie Nielsen was much better known than a Madoff son.

Then how do you account for the greater coverage?

because the whole Madoff story is such a big deal, a symbol of the corporate greed of our times, and such a train wreck.

I can guarantee you that very few people knew the name of Bernie Madoff's son before his death. However many millions knew of Leslie Nielsen.
