I know it's horrible that someone like Fred Rogers died... The guy dedicated his life to making people happy...

There's is some jack a** over on the MDb Message Board that said "YAY! I'm glad he died, I don't like him"... needless to say, he's recieved some serious flames.. even by TJ (the guy who runs the MDb, and dosn't tolerate Flames)

People are entitled to their opinions, but desecration of the deceased isn't appropriate anywhere.

I agree people are entitled to their own opinions, but in cases like this it's best not to say anything, rather than saying "Im glad he's dead"

Some people just have to be idiots for attention. Because they know that a bunch of people will back lash at them. Clearly that person's parents did not raise him/her with a shred of moral behavior twards those that have passed away. There are only a few people (throughout history) that it is okay to be glad they are dead and one of those is NOT Mr. Rogers!

I can understand saying "I'm glad Hitler's dead!" but Mr Rogers... man that's just cold...

And I agree, about being idiots for attention Im wondering if that's all the kid was doing now

Apparently, Fred Rogers was quite a killer in his Vietnam war days, though that's just hear-say from a radio show and some of my friends. :P

All the classic celebrities that made tv worth watching throughout my childhood are dying off, and I can't help but think that Mr. Roger's death is another milestone in the ending of a great era. First Sharry Lewis of Lamb Chop fame, now Mr. Rogers..not to mention all the animation legends whose work could never be followed in quality. Man, this is depressing :\

Yeah, thats a classic urban legend. It's just like one that says John Denver was a Sniper in Vietnam.

Man, this is horrible, of all people to get cancer....

I think 74 is really good though for his time and he did contribute so much to society, it really is unbelievable...

This and the death of Howard Ashman hurt me in the heart, they were great people when I was growing up....
