Yes, it can often be difficult to know whether your favorite (or not-favorite) celebrity is dead or not. You can ask this site: http://www.didtheydie.com Didtheydie as it seems to have some helpful info. Seems some of the public think Bob Hope is alive - how amusing!

This is always a source of mystery for me: who is dead and alive? I just read in another post that Don Adams died. I really thought he had died before. Here is my list of uncertainties. Please clear up if possible: -Red Buttons -Red Skeleton -Red Auerbach (any other "Red" guy) -Art Carney -Fish (the guy from Barney Miller) -Dick Cheney -Six Flags Dancing Guy -Frank Gifford (okay, I know being married to Kathy Lee is living death) -Gerald Ford -Lady Bird Johnson -Kitty Carlisle -J.D. Salinger -various ex cast members of SNL There are more, but I can't think now with my daughter wanting Cheerios.

I found it a bit, ah, jarring as well, but very few of us strive to be satirically creative on an ongoing basis as does Peter. Sometimes it will work better than others. And I love Bob Hope, always have.

Sure, this may have been in poor taste, particularly within 24 hours of the man's passing, but it's satire. And I'll admit, when I first heard the news about Hope's death (an occurrence I find sad, even as I note how fortunate we were to have him for five-score years), I had to wonder whether the news was true. I recall the previous reporting of the man's demise all too well. In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco, too, is still dead.

A smug and ungracious article about a man who brought joy into more lives than a pretentious prick like Peter Petrisko ever will.
