why people get upset when celebrities die? There's a girl in my office that's *in tears* over George Carlin... 
Why do people give more respect to people after they are dead than when they were living?

its not just about celebrities I think its about anyone who touches your life you grieve over them. A bit unfeeling to think otherwise

says
Yeah, I understand emotional attachment to people, but what possible emotional attachment could you have to someone you've never met >>
... and someone who doesn't even know you exist?

Of course, this is the same co-worker that cried over Princess Diana, then said that it was "just time" for Mother Teresa.
