5. Yea, this is not a good way of say that he died. Kind of shows a lack of sympathy

8. That is SO out of line. I could take everything but the superimposed image of Vanna laughing. WRONG. I wouldn't blame Vanna for suing you for that for portraying her in a false light. RUDE to both of them. I'm ashamed of you TMZ - and I'm not easily offended. But making fun of someone's death is NOT COOL.

10. At first I thought that your way of announcing his passing was tacky. But thinking about it for a moment I think he would have liked it. I remember he said that when he died his head stone was going to say "I told you I was sick" So you see he had a unique sense of humor so I think he woul like the announcement.

12. Gotta agree, TMZ. The image is in extremely poor taste. Take Vanna off of there and stop letting the weekend folks have that much control over graphics.

13. TMZ-----that is VERY disrespectful.......please take down that photo. I'm really surprised that someone would approve putting it on your site.
