Truth is absolute. Whether one accepts that fact, it does not change the fact. Two options for everyone, accept what Falwell was proposing or deny it. Most here seem to deny it and mock him via this mindless teletubby invention of the BBC (I think we all agree that British TV, just like dental hygine in Britian sucks). Step back, remove all passion and prejudice and listen objectively again to what Falwell was proposing. You have two options. If one listens objectively, can you do it, listen objectively? You already concluded the one option when you heard him the first time which was to deny what he was proposing. Now, objectively, listen to what he is proposing as if there is a possibility what he proposing is True. Can you be objective when making decisions?

The teletubbie was relevant when used for the death of Jerry Farwell because he made an issue with that particular tubbie when he disapproved of it because it was perceived to be 'gay'. But what association does it have with CNR except for the fact that people think CNR was gay? CNR never came out publicly and said that he was gay. If he was that was his business. He didn't go around flaunting it. Also, he was married to a women.

Yea Maya...........
My friggin point is to just have a cartoon character ALONE to announce the death of a fine celebrity is tactless and undignified.
Get you dumb head out of your stupid ass............
If you don't see the offense then you are deranged.

Why would you use the teletubby and not a photo of the man?! It's blatantly disrespectful!! I mean come on, show some respect for the deceased. You may not have liked him, but you don't have to mock him in death. You don't even say what he died of (natural causes, illness??in this, just the years. I hope you are provided the same courtesy in your death.

TMZ grow up - You need a better dictionary. Your definition is too narrow. As I suspect you are.
A harbinger, along with the definition you chose, is somebody or something that announces something.

LMAO...........okay, I admit this is kind of funny. Being an openly gay man myself, I get the humour. Especially after TMZ used the same Tinky Winky memorial for Mr. Falwell. But seriously, Charles N. Reilly was a wonderful and talented individual who was never afraid or ashamed of being himself ( unlike Falwell ) and I will always remember and honour him for that. Fondly - The Duke
