It's okay to make light of death, as long as the person who died did porn.

I was just reading an article (Carolin Berger, German porn star nicknamed Cora, dead after sixth breast enlargement surgery) and saw a comment that made me furious. Here's a piece of the article:

It's believed that Berger suffered two cardiac arrests after the surgery. According to reports, she decided to go under the knife to keep up her publicity.

"The brain damage was too great," her husband, Tim, told The Sun. "Her blood pressure dropped steadily, physiological functions gave out - then she went to sleep quietly."

And the comment:


 Apparently, all porn stars are unintelligent... and only intelligent people are allowed to be remembered after death? (Also, what qualifies as "intelligent"? Not being a porn star? IQ score?)

These kind of comments make me furious. Also, just a sample of some of the other comments:

"I'm still freaking out about the 75 B-jobs unbelievable! What the hell is wrong with people, the girl needed to be committed."

"This porn star really got f**ked this time."

"Think this chick had daddy issues? jeez, what a dumb way to die."

I'm not sure how giving 75 blowjobs = needing to be committed. I'm also not a fan of people making light of mental institutions, but that's a whole different post.

This is a woman who had two heart attacks after surgery. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if she died after breast augmentation surgery or heart surgery -- she died, and since the police are investigating the doctors (says the article), I'd say there's a good chance they could've prevented it. Regardless of that, people don't care because she was a porn star.

sex work, sex
