President Kennedy Injured in Dallas?

Well I did get some good news today... I just got hired by General Dynamics to work on the TFX project. Maybe something good will finally come out of that information science degree after all.

We have this American high school kid, Oliver, staying at our place as an exchange student. He's totally hysterical about this whole assassination thing, you should all the weird-ass loony theories he's coming up with. He says that when he gets back to the States he's gonna "convince them all of the truth!". I think he's lucky if he manages to convince the neighbour's dog.

The print setter at work just told everyone some American president got shot, and something about aboriginal kids no longer being kidnapped by the government. Most of the people here don't know what America or aborigines is. If only we had a worldwide electronic information resource.

ok i was watching tv and that negro what's his name, muhammad x, is all like "lol you get what you pay for" or something did anyone else see this?

c'mon dude, he is one of the "good ones"

amateurist the point of this thread is to sound like you would've back in 1963

All I saw when I went to that page was a giant penis.

yeah they've locked it now, after the whole Vincent Price 'I AM A TOASTER' meme was all through it

ok, i don't know if this is inappropriate but was anyone else thinking what i was thinking...

John Kennedy has changed his relationship status to "single".

?!?!

Jacqueline Onassis has removed "Dallas" from her interests.

Can someone ask the mods to update the thread title now he's been declared dead?

why so many?

Dallas has a suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald. Apparently, he is in fact a Communist.

Since when did the media start adding middle names to these guys? They never did that with Charlie Starkweather. Probably just a trend.

John Wilkes Booth!

Okay him. But at least they gave it a rest for Charles Guiteau and Leon Czolgosz.

But really. I can't even believe that we're talking about the president of the United States dying today.

xxp What a day. CS Lewis died today, too.

And Aldous Huxley! ZOMGWTF!

Flags at half-mast (half-staff?) here in Little Rock. Can't stop watching the news on TV. Probably going to be like this through the weekend.

Imagine if channels always ran news nonstop like this. That'd be so cool.

i can't help but feel this is some kind of cosmic justice for the stolen election of 1960. chickens be comin' home to roost, is it not so?

There's a good side to this though, because one day you'll have a mad republican president who invades all sorts of countries and can't manage the economy and is shit, and he'll be assassinated too. Clouds and silver linings and all that.

too soon

:(

Hey guys. Just got back from Frankfurt. I saw the most amazing group of gay English boys play that rock and roll. I told them they would be a smash in America. (Of course, I was being selfish because I want to see them closer to home, lol.)

oops, wrong thread

JFK RIP

Can a mod please kill/lock some of the new/revived threads:

Robert Frost has also died :-(

RIP Big Poet.

(btw best ilx thread ever)

Oh this is so sad. Puts our grumbles about the snow into perspective.

I wonder how David Frost will cover it on TWTWTW.

Let's hope they don't make the mistake of going all gooey and sentimental, like getting Millicent Martin to sing "Three Bells" or something.

guys... this totally sucks. :(

Phil Spector Christmas Album now going for £2.99 on Amazon...

Is it just me, or have all the radio stations stopped playing music?

Are Gerry and the Pacemakers "Merseybeat"? What's a Mersey?

Good riddance to another vapid, mindless celebrity.

I don't want to be the one to call out the instant canonisation here, but this guy was kind of a dick in South America, remember?

Anyway, I bet the Americans bomb Cuba to fuck over this - we could be in the early days of World War 3 already :(

At least the suspect is safely in police hands

US radio stations USELESS!

A nation in MOURNING and all they can do is play BLAND POPIST PAP by fly-by-night NME hypes like the BEATLES!

Systems thinking can solve this mess - all radio programmers to be SACKED and REPLACED by AWARE PROACTIVE programmers with full knowledge of diverse music spectra including developments in HARD FORMALIST ORNETTECORE, VARESE SPUNKWAVE and TRAD FADELA.

TRAD FAVELA even.

In the light of this, I think all competitive sport should be suspended immediately. I can't see the point in continuing with a triviality like the current English football season.

the games must go on...we're all PATRIOTS now...

LIVERPOOL THRASH ARSENAL 5-0 TO WIN LEAGUE

Benitez Given Job For Life; Police Talk Wenger Down From Archway Bridge

oh man now I'm really bummed out, although I hadn't even checked out that much Kennedy. Any recs?

any word yet about a JFK Memorial design competition?

Robert Frost has also died :-(

Again? Didn't he die like a year ago or something? Something there is that doesn't like the grave.

Police correspondent Alex Drake quipped "it's all a dream, I'm in 1963world" at a special press conference.

"Don't try it" added 34-year-old British tourist and witness to the shooting John Ravenscroft.

Ummmm hi? Some guy just walked directly up to Lee Henry Oswald and shot him on TV I am crapping you negative

It will take Billy Joel to put this into some sort of meaningful context for me.

guys my roomate's uncle Abe was there and had his home movie camera.

he just uploaded this to youtube:
