Celebrity Death Pool 2018

It should be noted that Irwin gave up his points about 27 years ago, the first of the 12 to walk on the moon to do so. He started the High Flight Foundation, the name of which I suspect was taken from this thing, which I recall one local TV station running as a prelude to their late-night sign-off.

Never heard whether he actually ever found the ark, though.

There are now 4 living moon walkers. Musk and Bezos need to step it up ad bring their ‘A’ game.

In the top spot now. Catch me if you can

Unless I’m missing something, I think I’m 15 points up on you :slight_smile:

Maybe I’m just extremely cynical but I think on the small chance that he actually ends up in prison, it will be a comfortable prison with a chickenshit sentence, like he’ll be out after maybe a year, and probably will spend it stuffing his face and beating his meat. Someone like that would never get put in “gen-pop” because he’s too high-profile and would create a distraction. Also, guys like that never seem to kill themselves, unfortunately. Their egos are too big.

OK. I’m not really invested in points or anything and I fully realize that picking low-hanging fruit isn’t exactly sporting either, but YouTube celebrities? Really? The only time I even know who a YouTube celebrity is if they do something so stupid that they make to real news (Diamond and Silk, that other idiot with the blond hair whose name I can’t even remember … I’m looking at you).

How exactly does followers on YouTube make one an according-to-Hoyle celebrity?

Sorry, it was I that missed something > you having Francis

My money’s on him pulling a Roman Polanski.

I saw on the news he’d had to surrender his passport.

Hmmm, that explains why no one else seemed to be reporting it… Can I plead insanity?

Just say you were stuck in a major mountain jam.

Well at least for a moment, I’m in the top 5. :slight_smile:

What makes anybody a celebrity? An obscure member of a professional sports team from 1974 could be considered a celebrity enough for this particular game. My measurement right now is if they have a Wikipedia article, they’re a contender.

Like it or not, but internet fame is a thing, and Twitch and YouTube are shaping up to be as significant as any TV network, projected to be even more so in the future when the millennials run the world. Progress is change.

Points is points.

Is Philip Roth a genuine celebrity? I’m sure Jenna Marbles has more fans than Roth does.

It’s 2018. Time to accept that the internet is a legitimate medium.

Or points…
