How can we a) provoke a snowball of Multiiple Death Syndrome and b) monetise it?

1) Set up website, covered in ads.
2) Regularly tweet "XXX has died!" - where XXX is a 3rd tier celebrity. Heck, even one that's still alive.
3) Make sure that said tweet points to your website.
4) Profit!

It certainly could have been.

Although I'm not convinced by alternative keyboard layout fans:
