I would be pissed that they had spelled my last name wrong. Really, it's not that hard, but everybody gets it wrong. I'm sure my obituary will be no different.
Hm. It would be weird, I'm sure. I would hope they'd use a good pic. I hope they wouldn't say all the normal bullshit, but then again, I would be obstensibly dead, so what would they care what I thought?
Flagging a post will send it to the Goodreads Customer Care team for review.
We take abuse seriously in our discussion boards.
Only flag comments that clearly need our attention.
As a general rule we do not censor any content on the site.
The only content we will consider removing is spam,
slanderous attacks on other members,
or extremely offensive content (eg. pornography, pro-Nazi, child abuse, etc).
We will not remove any content for bad language alone, or being critical
of a particular book.
Whoops!
On a side note, there's a poll in that article about reacting to your "death". So how would you react if you read your obituary in the paper?
