Ling Ling Dead Dead

Ling LingTokyo's most famous zoo critter, Ling Ling, has taken the panda express to that great bamboo plant in the sky.

Officials say Japan's only giant panda died of old age in his cage yesterday. At 22, Ling Ling was the equivalent of a 70-year-old human.

18. Sadly...All things come to an end and now that Ling Ling has passed away... Please all know he is in now a much happier place called Rainbow Bridge... a place where animals go in Heaven ...and live forever...

19. Aww poor thing. Trapped in a zoo. No way for an animal to live. I hate zoos.

20. Quit letting elementary school students write your headlines. That was in very poor taste even for TMZ.

21. Once again, TMZ...very insensitive. That is becoming your trademark and you should not be proud of that.

22. Wait a minute! --Checks facts. This isn't the same Ling Ling that was at the National Zoo in DC. That Ling Ling died in 1992. Thought so.

25. So sad it was Japan's only giant panda. We have to protect all animals especially the endangered species. We can all do something.

26. For just a split second as I was scrolling down the front page, I though it said "Bai Ling Dead Dead". I got a little excited.

29. I view your web site everyday....but I have to say, sometimes your postings are very insensitive. Ling Ling Dead Dead is a terrible thing to say. Do you have a heart at all?

30. This is a really cruel way to word this story. Don't you have any decency in TMZ? It's one thing to ridicule someone deserving of it (such as the prince von-hole, etc.), but an animal that was so popular and loved by so many visitors? Shame, shame! Just plain RUDE!
