“So why not pay your respects tonight at the Amy Winehouse Tribute by doing what she liked best – partying?”
No one else found this sentence incredibly tacky and tasteless? Shame on you Free Williamsburg. A woman is dead because of addiction and you are advocating “partying” in her honor?
I don’t know why I still read this website sometimes.
Eh. whatever.
You’re gonna ‘pour one out in her honor’? The woman who drank herself to death? You fucking idiot.
Umm, if Amy Wino had “poured one out” rather than down her throat a couple times, perhaps she wouldn’t be dead. Oh wait, yeah she would be because she was also a junkie. You fucking idiot.
Anyhooch, I was just getting tired of using Betty Ford’s death as the reason for my binge drinking, thank god this came along….
