I know this isn't funny. We are talking about someone dying. The picture that CNN.com decided to use is kind of funny. If they catch it I'm sure they will change it. I saved the pic just in case. Nothing like a good double finger pic to report that someone tragically died.

Here is the pic that is attached to the story right now...

LOL...most of the guys trolling around the acurazine "lounge" or their Ramblings section aren't Acura owners anymore. (it's been over 3 years for me now) It's just a hilarious forum. I've been going to that forum almost daily for the last 4 years.

BTW...update. It looks like they already changed the pic. I'm glad I saved that.

My wife and I are on vacation in Barcelona and will be seeing Madonna in concert here on July 21.

I hope we're not sitting too close to the stage.

A very tragic story.

Scott - If Madonna gives you the finger, what are you going to do?

Avoid the collapsing stage?

Tragic story indeed. It's never good to see these things happen...

As far as the early CNN web page featuring a stupid picture of Madonna that providenceleaf captured goes, it's funny but I happened to catch an earlier version of the story and thank goodness I also saved a copy. I think CNN was still trying to find a good photo of Madonna so in an effort to break the story first, I think they threw a page up featuring Madonna's lead guitarist and his car! Again, I'm really glad I saved a copy of it -- here it is...

I think that pic MUST have been placed on purpose in that article - you know, "any publicity is good publicity" -type of thing...
