RIP Ted Turner

Another guy on the list of "People I thought had already passed."

Seems like Turner was a HUGE personality who was always in the news back in the 90s. But around the mid-2000s, seemed like he started to fade into the background, maybe on account of that infamous AOL-Time Warner deal?

I remember there was this rumor that Ted had personally recorded an "end-of-the-world" video to air on CNN in the event of hypothetical nuclear armageddon.
