Guess he wasnt so fast and furious, somewhere there is a tree with a pink slip to a Porsche GT

The jokes are easy to imagine but I really wonder how people can joke at a decent person's death. He was an okay actor, driving with a friend (some reports say he was the driver, others not) and died tragically. You may have no care for what people say about you after you pass but what about a joke told of your friend's/father's/mother's/teacher's/favorite waitress' death?

They are idiots, simple.

The car is almost exclusively carbon fiber, they basically shatter if bumped by a shopping cart.

Not everyone who doesn't share your emotional response or sentiment is an idiot.

And yet, so far he's been proven correct.

Truly sad, I really enjoyed the movies, the way he died is worst of all, the amount of jokes, the lack of tact that people will have, again we get to see people poke fun at how someone died.

As opposed to faux sadness about a person we knew through some films where he played a character?

Someone dying isn't exactly an occasion to jump for joy but many people enjoyed his work, will continue to enjoy his work and all the memes that will spawn from this could be considered his 'legacy'. Isn't that what actors yearn for?

I'm still waiting for the Paul Crouch death thread to pop up.

This slithered across my facebook feed. Yes, what a way to show your support. I wouldn't even call that a photoshop. More like paintvomit.

Someone called him a hero, geez. He was just a guy that got extraordinarily lucky.

People get attached to celebrities it's understandable, almost feeling like they really know them. I'd probably cry like a baby if Derek Jeter died :o

Unfortunate that Paul was a long for the ride, but not feeling the slightest bit sorry for the driver

Joking about someones death and feeling sad over that death aren't mutually exclusive. Gallows humor is a thing. These are celebrities and as they are hounded in life so too are they in death. To compare them to random people is both unfair and missing the point. I go again to Steve Irwin who has been the butt of every joke from:

to

Insensitive? More like irrelevant because we didn't know Steve Irwin the same way we didn't know Paul Walker. We knew a character. We knew their livelihoods. The crocodile hunter lives on, he's probably gained more fans since dying (that skyrim meme is some five years after Irwins death) and this fame will propel people to watch all his crazy antics (money for the family) but more importantly his message about loving animals and protecting nature.

tl;dr - trolls gonna troll, try to see positive in a persons life because they're dead and nothing is going to change that.

I dunno, it takes deliberate insensitivity for your first commentary on a person's death to be crude. Yeah, trolls want that attention.

You make it sound as if they're just expressing their sadness in their own way.

On top of that, the subject matter is too easy. Star of big-budget soulless racing films dies in crashing an expensive car. I tried to, and couldn't, think of an analogy that could be exaggerated to be more fitting. He's been in other films, but he was something a one(six)-hit wonder.

Guess there won't be another fast and furious movie...

7 was filming so they might have gotten his scenes down. As long as Vin Diesel is up for it, they can continue the franchise.

I doubt it, there are supposed to be 3 more, can't see it going on without Brian.

They were planning 3 more but the focus was shifting more to Lucas Black's Shaun character.

Sorta the same about Amy Winehouse. Yes she was an addict but that doesn't make her death less tragic. She was a great singer to me still. And she was a very easy target to make fun of.

I would say that's a fair assumption.

I don't know if a car that can go from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.9 seconds is able to do the speed limit.
