The item below appeared in yesterday’s (July 10, 2018) edition of the San Diego Union Tribune. It was included in the daily sidebar, “Off the Wall,” which contains interesting and humorous tidbits and a sports trivia quiz.
This particular item was so wrong, so bad on so many levels it caused me to laugh so hard i snorted my breakfast cup of coffee.
i hope you are not offended and also find it funny as hell:
Off the wall
…Touching tribute
After a young New Orleans man was killed, his grieving family chose to remember him doing what he loved: sitting in front of a TV with his beloved Boston Celtics on the screen.
The body of 18-year-old Renard Matthews , who died from a gunshot wound to the head on June 25, was dressed in a Celtics jersey at a Sunday wake at the Charbonnet Labat Glapion Funeral Home in the Treme neighborhood. WDSU-TV reported that his body was positioned in a chair and he had a video game controller in his lap. His favorite snacks were positioned on a nearby table and the floor.
The 18-year-old Matthews will be buried today.
Sad to see what we have become as a nation…
Ridiculous. What a way to have a viewing at funeral home
My brother-in-law is a Celtics fan….I’ll have to ask him if he would like to go out this way. Not the gunshot to the head, just the funeral part.
