2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Honestly? Not really. He did not age well. But it was part of his charm. Why should only attractive people have lead roles?

I mean they didn't have to use one of him in his last few years.

I mean clearly that's not his death bed picture?

I've seen plenty of obituaries that use youthful pictures or senior pictures from more flattering years.

Those may be the pictures "from more flattering years"... death bed pictures tend to be creepy AF.

(source: we recently used a more flattering picture of my mom in the obituary, you wouldn't want to see the open casket one)
