Subject: Necropedia
Written By: Howard on 04/29/13 at 7:05 am
Now, here is a website that anticipates some celebrity's death but what they're saying is that this website is an anticipated obituary(ies), by definition, an obituary written BEFORE the death of a person. It is common for news agencies to keep pre-written obituary for public figures, famous and high-profile people who are still alive.
It is by no means a death announcement nor an anticipation of death.
So you can type in someone you love or hate (a celebrity) and it'll write a fake obituary about them, how do you feel about this website?

Meh, nothing special. In fact the "obits" are so generic as to be worthless. Looked up 5 people, all it said about them was "they died". The only person I saw with anything other is Yoko Ono, which also mentioned John and Sean Lennon.

I'm indifferent about it but this reminded me of one of my favorite eps of the Mary Tyler Moore show
"Better Late....That's a Pun....Than Never"
In the ep Mary is tasked with writing obits for prominent citizens and celebs. Late in the evening- delerious with tedium- Mary and Rhoda write a sarcastic/funny obit. Ironically ;) That guy dies the next day and Ted reads the obit as written on air. ;D

Why would this website make up a fake obituary? ::)

Howard, quit looking if it creeps you out. It is a stupid, made up website by someone who had too much time on his or her hands. It is not a prediction site.
