Yesterday marked the passing of actor David Carradine, who was partially responsible for the mainstream popularity of the martial arts today through his popular TV show Kung Fu, and his unpopular TV show Kung Fu: The Legend Continues. Carradine also enjoyed a film career, which is highlighted with the title role in Tarintino’s Kill Bill, but should be better remembered for the huge amount of senseless fun movies like Lone Wolf McQuade and Death Race 2000.

He was found dead in his hotel room, an apparent suicide. Then today, more details were released.  Carradine was great; he doesn’t deserve the news article describing his passing to start out with the phrase: “…whose body was found in a hotel closet in the Thai capital with a rope tied to his neck, wrist and genitals.” That hurts, but unfortunately, the truth does that.

I could comment on this, but Joe, August, and Luc would likely slit my throat if I did, so I’m going to let George do it for me, because A) he’s better at it, and B) he’s already dead, and thus immune to bodily harm.

Do you know who’s the happiest guy in Hell right now? That dude from INXS, because now people will stop making fun of him.
