With the audience laughing and not having a clue that he was dying
I can remember my Grandparent's telling me about watching that live. It was the sorta thing that he was known to do, it did seem like a joke he would pull. They laughed at it, thinking it was. Once the curtain fell it became clear that something was wrong. His family released a statement after saying that that would have the been the way he would have wanted to go - making people laugh. And that's probably he would have wanted to, it's not some sympathetic statement.
His death seems like a testament to his life, he managed to make people laugh and enjoy themselves with his last breaths.

It's ok that people try to find at least some bit of humanity in that guy, but I'm afraid that there is none to be found.[/QUOTE] Who are we talking about here? I've been tracing your conversation for several pages and still don't know who the fuck everyone is talking about.

[img]http://swick.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Battle_of_Gettysburg.jpg[/img] This photograph has become synonymous with The Battle of Gettysburg, which was the most bloody battle of the American Civil War. Photographer Timothy H. O’Sullivan documented and recorded the battlefield, and this picture became a sensation. For many, this was their first chance to see, first hand, the true extent of the Civil War. However, it was not until 40 years after the battle that the pictures were mass produced, as photo-engraving had not been established. The picture shows dead confederate soldiers on the battlefield, and has earned its place in history as an iconic photograph.
It doesn't look too shocking.
[QUOTE=proch;35956737]It doesn't look too shocking.[/QUOTE] If you're getting used to seeing dead people, I'd recommend you to take a break from this thread.
I'm planing that, actually. But I guess it's rather that back in those days, people barely saw photographies, so It must've been a shock as a "first dead on photo".

The bodies are real, but he rearranged them and took 2 photos, and said they were two different situations and places.

[img]http://www.spadesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/nirvana-nevermind-album-cover.jpg[/img] Fuck, the Tommy Cooper video's depressing, so here's some light entertainment! The Nevermind album cover shows a baby swimming toward a US dollar bill on a fishhook. According to Cobain, he conceived the idea while watching a television program on water births with Grohl. Cobain mentioned it to Geffen's art director Robert Fisher. Fisher found some stock footage of underwater births but they were too graphic for the record company. Also, the stock house that controlled the photo of a swimming baby that they subsequently settled on wanted $7,500 a year for its use, so instead Fisher sent a photographer to a pool for babies to take pictures. Five shots resulted and the band settled on the image of a three-month-old infant named Spencer Elden, the son of the photographer's friend. However, there was some concern because Elden's penis was visible in the image. Geffen prepared an alternate cover without the penis, as they were afraid that it would offend people, but relented when Cobain made it clear that the only compromise he would accept was a sticker covering the penis that would say, "If you're offended by this, you must be a closet pedophile."
