All tag results for 'obit'

While we understand the need to have things like this at the ready, we've gotta side with Apple on this one.

Everyone, including us, was eager to hear what Steve Jobs was going to announce next for the Apple line of products and operating systems.

Well, almost everyone. The folks over at AP somehow decided that it was the proper time to start calling around to major sources for new quotes to go on Steve's newly updated obituary — before it was even known if he'd be making the keynote speech because he'd been on medical leave.

Awesomely enough, he was there. While he looked thinner than usual, he was in good spirits and looked to be in good health as well.

When Apple caught wind of AP doing this, they were not happy at all. They even went so far as to contact the same sources as AP and ask them not to give any quotes or help AP in any way!

The good thing is that most of them had refused anyway, regardless of being asked.

Like we said — we get that AP has a job to do, but it seems like the wrong time. Especially right before a major event with everyone watching.

Do U think it was okay for them to do this??

Ouch!

This is disturbing, tragic, morbid and yet not surprising!

Girl, people are already planning for your DEATH!

Sources claim that several media outlets have pre-written obits for Lindsay Lohan, just in case her dangerous and crazy love of pAArtying finally has her meet her end.

Sources a major news outlets explain:

"News outlets need to be prepared. However shocking a story it might be, they are in the business of breaking news fast and any preparation that can be done ahead of time is them just simply doing their jobs. We all scrambled when Brittany Murphy and Heath Ledger died and don't want that to happen again."

Don't give these people the satisfaction of the headline, LiLo! Fight it!
