Is This Irony?
Was looking for tasteful pornography earlier, and instead stumbled across the news that actor David Carradine, star of Kill Bill Vol 1 and Vol 2, has died.
David Carradine, with Jesus now.
After the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Monkeybone, and Gandhi, Kill Bill (Vol 1) is probably one of my favourite movies of all time, so I was more than a little bummed to hear about this. Apparently it was suicide as well. Hectic.

“Kung Fu” and “Kill Bill” actor David Carradine was found dead Thursday in a Bangkok hotel room, his manager told FOX News. According to police, the 72-year-old actor appeared to have hanged himself. The officer responsible for investigating the death, Teerapop Luanseng, said Carradine was staying at a suite at the luxury Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel. “I can confirm that we found his body, naked, hanging in the closet,” Teerapop said. He said police suspected suicide. [via] |
Nice of them to point out that he was found naked. I’m sure it’s something we were all wondering about.
Anyhoo, rest in peace David Carradine, you had a good innings (he was 72).

Ummm…. When someone is found hanging naked in a hotel room we should all think “wank gone wrong!” and not suicide.
@Primate,
We’re all thinking it, but we’re just too shy to bring it up.
It’s the elephant sitting naked in the corner of the room.
The elephant with his tie slung round the rafters having a bash?
ha ha.. Not an ideal way to go by any means.
How could you NOT have Kung Fu Panda in your top movies. It was much better than Kill Bill.
I didn’t know him personally, but ill drink to it.
Is Shaun dead?
