From Yahoo News:

"The body of deceased Angel Pantoja Medina stands erect and leans against a wall by his coffin during his own wake in his mother's home in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Monday, Aug. 18, 2008. The last wish of Medina, 24, who was found dead on Aug. 15, 2008 underneath a bridge in the capital, was to be standing at his own wake, and was embalmed for the occasion."

Not so creepy. Maybe he was a comedian and he wanted to do one more stand up comedy act without the comedy...., unless you think this was funny in which case he would have succeeded in one last stand up comedy act with comedy.

I don't think it is creepy. Every one wants to have there own immortality...or 15 minutes in the sun. Perhaps this was his.

At age 24...I cant imagine why he was even thinking about death.

My Father wanted to be standing as well. He wanted one of the telephone drills to dig his hole and just place him in a body bag standing up...he always said that it would save so much more space, if everyone was buried that way.

The guy that invented the Pringles can was buried in one. What a sense of humor! I have a post on my blog about it: http://babyboomeradvisorclub.com/index.php?s=pringles+can

How funny is that?

Southern smiles and world peace,

I speak my mind and all of the sudden I "have no spokes". At least I have a spine. I used six words multiple times, and you immediately disregard the message that I'm trying to, very bluntly, convey.

If that's not what you're trying to get at, I just checked all 64 of my spokes. They are all in place, tight, and my rims are true.

To take the time out to write your 6 words over and over again on two questions is senseless when you, yourself, have participated in many debates and popularity questions without so much as a cry of "foul" from you!

Perhaps what you don't appreciate, above and beyond everything else is the way CD gloms all the debates together on the first page no matter what category it's in. If you don't like this debate or other contests then don't participate in them or click on the area that interest you! You have no right to denigrate me or anyone for putting something up that you don't care for. What you did is not speaking your mind...it's the "pay attention to me" tactic of an immature bully. AMEN!

Amen is a way of saying "so be it" and to mean that one is in agreement with something. You ended what you said by saying "so be it". Here's a recap so you get it:

"I'm super-unhappy with you! You are so mean to me! You are like an internet bully! SO BE IT, I AGREE WITH THAT!"

I didn't write all of that "over and over again". I wrote it once, copy and pasted.

You have seen me in other debates? What were they about? My point proceeds from that question.

I do understand that every cat. hits the front page, I don't like that in entertainment is dead people. What seriously is the use of an "entertainment" "DEBATE" that seeks to know if dead people creep living people out? Is it important? Is it really entertainment???

I do click the areas that interest me. Who said I didn't? Also, I do have the "right" seeing as you posted the debate ON THE INTERNET that everyone has access to. If I want to say something, I will say it. Oh well. Welcome to these united internets of all humanity.

Now, understand that I'm not defending myself completely. You know that I've apologized for the act already, and it is because this isn't my internets. It is all of ours. I know this already.

I am defending my point in principle though.
