Historically, I understand that one of the pleasures of Heaven was watching the torture of the damned in Hell. Christianity has a strong sadistic component.

Congratulations, **James Otto Sweetheart** :

At this moment, a Google search for “James Otto” “Mindy McCready” brings up this Thread on the very first page.

When I searched to see if James Otto had made any public comment about McCready’s death, I didn’t think at first to just find his Twitter account. Instead, what I did was I Googled “James Otto” “Mindy McCready”.

Right now, if any James Otto fans find themselves wondering “Gee, I wonder if James has said anything about Mindy McCready” should they then do a Google search they will, on the very first page of results, be greeted with **James Otto Sweet Heart and Damning Suicides to Hell**.

James Otto’s publicist fucking _LOVES_ you right now.

Just like so many other extremist Fundamentalists, that particular poster can’t spell worth a hoot. The user name is actually _James Otto Sweet Heart_.

Very glad someone is pitting Holly, aka James Otto Sweet whatever. Every post in cafe society ends with “God bless you always !!!”

This is entirely offensive. If someone feels it necessary to inflict the “blessings” of a god upon me, they should fuck themselves and realize it’s not so nice to everyone who hears it, ESPECIALLY if they mean Yahweh or Jehovah. I don’t want fictional blessings from a man-made and invisible, amoral being.

A good lesson for believers like her is to understand tolerance-- a concept unheard of in many sheep flocks.

Fully agreed.

There’s a big love for torture who are “not among us”. (The poor English continues. No surprise.) Schandenfreude is why religion survives. “Oooh, look! Someone who denied scripture is burning! Let’s watch and laugh.”

And now this thread is an auto-suggestion showing as the second result.

What a weirdo - from first result (in her bio data), under My 5 favorite books:

My next 5 favorites are Darryl Worley, Brad Paisley, Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, & Hal Ketchum.  
Talk about obsession with country music, huh?

Yeah, I don’t imagine there are a ton of people doing searches for the two of them together but I’m sure there is a not insignificant overlap of fans. It’s not too crazy to imagine that with her recent death in mind some fans may be Googling to see what’s being said by other artists.

Probably not at all a huge concern, still I’m sure that the man himself _really_ wouldn’t like the title of this Thread to show up in front of too many (or any at all) eyes.

If I had made it my life’s mission to spread the word about my favorite artist, I would consider a result like this, however inadvertent, to be a major failure.

I’m gonna avoid taunting Holly for now. The last thing I need is that crazy bitch praying for me.

I was going to ask for a link to that picture. Then I just decided to google “James Otto” and “Holly” and there was her twitter account. Check it out if you want to dip your toe in the crazy pool. She is the reason why entertainers have to hire security.

Yep, I noticed that James Otto (whoever the fuck that is) is a follower of HER. Probably to keep an eye on the cra cra.

Ummm . . . wow.

She actually responded to James Otto’s RIP message, a message that included “Prayers for her children & family”, she responded to this respectful RIP to declare it is “the Lord’s word” that people who commit suicide “WILL go down and not up” (all caps on “WILL”).

For YOU. That’s because Google biases their search results based on your browsing history. Different people will get different results. Someone who has never read this board will not see this thead anywhere near the first page.
