I know he was great and all, but when he was alive no one would give two about him. Now hes dead and every person who has mearley heard of his name goes apeshit crazy.
asdf, that might be true of Paul Walker, but Nelson Mandela has been hugely, hugely influential for decades. We don't hear a lot of it in the west, but even here he's been widely respected since before he got out of prison.
but I would expect that from a little shit such as yourself.
