‘That’s how it works for most celebrities: After they croak, their circle of close friends just explodes. A dead celebrity can’t walk down the street without meeting a million best buddies he never met in real life.

Dying was the best career move Jeff Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy ever made. After Gaetan Dugas was dead, the number of sex partners saying they’d fucked him, it went through the roof.

The way Rant Casey used to say it:

Folks build a reputation by attacking you while you’re alive - and praising you when you aren’t’

- Chuck Palahniuk

(this is so true, you just have to look at how people act after a celebrity passes away, it’s as if everyone claims to have been their number one fan whilst they were alive. it’s a shame, really.)
