re: Robin Williams has died - suspected of suicide

I posted this in the M/TV board at first, but will post it here for those who don't go over there.

Honestly, if you really think about it, the world has lost the single person who probably gave more smiles than anyone in history. I can't think of anyone of any walk of life who dislikes Robin Williams. If you want family entertainment, he's got it. If you want ridiculous vulgarity, he's got it. If you want a kind humanitarian who can lift a person's spirit in the moment of death, this guy has it. The man was a walking bundle of joy and a cartoon character come to life.

When Christopher Reeve wanted to die, Robin comes to his room in disguise with a Russian accent and says it was time to spread em since he immediately needed a proctology exam, which helped give him the will to live. He called Speilberg every other day while on the set on Schindler's List in order to brighten up his dampened spirit when filming it. And his wonderful work with Saint Jude.

The man was an absolute godsend, and the world is a less happy place without him. RIP Robin. You helped shape my childhood and helped millions more remember what it was like to be one without a care in the world. You will be gravely, gravely missed by the entire world.
