One thing the internet is responsible for, and will continue to be responsible for is numerous death hoaxes. Last year, everyone was aghast with the rash of celebrity deaths.
If celebrity hoax deaths were to be believed, everyone from Bill Gates to Brad Pitt to Richard Simmons would be belly-up somewhere. There would be no teen idols, as they’d die tragically in car accidents. Justin Bieber would be in North Korea, and Miley Cyrus would’ve spontaneously combusted when her duck teeth were laced with explosives – she’s just bein’ explodey Miley. But there’s one celebrity that nobody has touched until now.
Bill Cosby. What would the point of spreading around a Bill Cosby death rumor? So he can use it in his next touring comedy show, alongside new material about how people need to stop being so ghetto? Bill Cosby’s death was a trending for the entire day today on Google, prompting many people to worry that the prolific comedian, comic who launched 10,000 comics, and Mark Twain recipient had suddenly and unexpectedly kicked the bucket. The comic himself took to Twitter to refute the rumors.
And reminded everyone that he has an iPhone app coming out. Which will probably make comedic clucking noises.
