So why the hell would we sit there and pretend he's perfect when imperfection was part of who he was. I want to remember the person, not some dumb made up image of a person.
Now here's the problem with celebrity deaths. We have no idea who he was. All we see is his celebrity presence that his PR team has carefully crafted. Just another reason mourning over any celebrity, let alone a potentially ####ty one, is stupid.

I haven’t been to many funerals where those details were dodged and not shared by the best friends. They usually are light moments where everyone shares a chuckle because they were treated that way, too.
But I agree, mourning over someone who couldn’t say your name if you ran into them on the street is just messed up. Especially when there’s probably people who are lonely and in need of love and connection right inside your own family or close circles. Spend your emotional effort where it matters, Jesus.
