Poor old Patrick Swayze. To hear your own obituary once is bad enough. But now he’s heard it twice, which seems a little extravagant.
And it’s all thanks to our old friend the internet. Yesterday afternoon an announcement on a Florida radio station led to internet reports claiming that Patrick Swayze had lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. This in turn led to a tidalwave of sad-face emoticons on Twitter – officially the greatest sign of bereavement that the internet is sanctioned to use.
Thing is, though, Patrick Swayze hadn’t died – of anything – and now he’s a little bit pissed off.
