The Onion's Announcement Of Falwell's Death
Edited on Wed May-16-07 05:37 PM by EV_Ares
Televangelist Jerry Falwell Dead
Moral Majority founder Jerry Falwell died yesterday after being found unconscious in his office. What do you think?


Cathy Breger,
Systems Analyst
"It'll be interesting to see how Jerry Falwell is able to blame the ACLU for this."

Ron Boyd,
Veterinarian
"Does this mean my Liberty University online class is cancelled today?"

Carl Furman,
Phlebotomist
"He was committed to preaching God's Word and for that he's earned his reward in heaven…unless, of course, he was completely wrong about everything."

1. Noble death
Falwell probably choked on a ham sandwich.

5. cardiac arrest, right?
I'm guessing he was jacking it to a copy of Hustler--maybe even a copy of that (in)famous Campari ad about his first time with his mother--and his fatty heart couldn't take it. :evilgrin:

3. The Onion's Announcement of Falwell's Death
Please, people. The man was a force for all that is wrong in Creation. I know that personally, having met him once. But ridiculing him in death (as I did once, I readily admit, to my eternal shame) only makes us look the worse. Don't stoop. Please.
