    Wealthy man dies in his pool sized Jacuzzi. Entire world expected to be sad.

    Kids living in abject poverty are starved and made to drink salty water before being bombed into atoms. World expected to be largely indifferent.

    News at 11.

      Yes other people are suffering, but can we just let people care about things? My dad read Perry’s book and felt real emotional attachment to the man, through both their struggles with addiction and mental health. He was completely devastated when we heard about this. Yes there is worse shit to talk about in this world, but Mathew Perry meant a lot to some people, in his acting career and otherwise.
