Gary Coleman RIP

2010-05-28 21:19:12.701206+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Jokes about plugging holes with BP execs? I laughed. Jokes about Gary Coleman's hospitalization. Found 'em tasteless. Gary Coleman, famous for playing Arnold Jackson on Diff'rent Strokes, dead at 42. Most child stars with unethical parents have a tough time of it, Coleman managed to keep his dignity and life, even working as a security guard or running for California governor, when his former co-stars were knocking over liquor stores and generally falling apart. And the character he created really was a part of defining that era.

"Watchoo talking about, Willis?" indeed.
