Websites you know will react when a famous person dies

In addition to this site, with a thread in Cafe Society, and a post in the Death Pool, what other sites will react when someone of note dies?

Besides the SDMB, the 100% example is the Westboro Church saying "so-and-so is in hell" because they didn't spend every minute of their life screaming about how homosexuals should be killed.

I've seen some other interesting ones. A anti-aspatame board asked if Heather Ledger was killed by his diet soda habbit. Someone responded "Only if he used them to wash down the pills." The "notmilk" site tends to cite a person's milk habbit (the Pope?) as what "really" killed them.

I shudder to think of the state of this place when Cecil kicks the bucket.

I think you'll see some changes here when Abe Vigoda dies.

Any amount of sites in the U.K. concerned with politics or with society in general will have a lot to say when Margaret Thatcher dies.
