63. I understand that you were probably not trying to be tacky, but couldn't you have said 'Merv Griffen RIP" or "Merv So Long". Or leaving the board as is, should have left Vanna out. I'm sure it could have been worse! I believe your heart was in the right place, the execution however . . .

I'll always love Merv as the serial killer in The Man With Two Brains. . . . We'll miss ya!!

68. All the posters are not up in arms that Merv died is the way TMZ is reporting it. Very disrespectful and I would feel the same no matter who it was. As far as comparing the 5 American soldiers who died yesterday and Merv's death is ridiculous. A human life is a human life. All deserve respect and sensationalizing Merv's passing without even the decencey of an article is beyond belief. Remove this picture NOW. BTW not even a Merv fan and unless TMZ does the right thing here, will not be a fan of this site either.

69. Unbelievably tacky.

Either change the message or remove Vanna. It looks likes she's applauding his death.

71. In defense of all the nitwits & morons we are according to you 3 or 4 extremely brilliant and sooo far above us idiots - this is tmz, not salon.com or the newyorker -

tmz, the same media company that although they have access to pick and choose from thousands of photos that paps get of the celebs each day, they chose the MOST UNFLATTERING PHOTOGRAPH OF ZAHARA JOLIE-PITT OUT OF THE BUNCH Photorazzi has over 60 shots of Angelina walking from her suv to the entrance in which Zahara wasn't looking as "rough" in the facial expression department as she did in the photo they chose to show of her.

The photo which caused a heartbreaking outpour of nasty comments about her looks & as per usual a big unnecessary race war, not an intelligent debate over parenting or proper hair care...

So please don't give TMZ writers, writers that are usually in such a hurry to defame someone they misspell words and use improper sentences, these are not brilliant, clever, witty people - they are young, classless Hollywood jerks without tact.

This site is called The Media Zone & one the most influential MEN OF MEDIA died and all they could muster was a "witty" photoshop tribute?? He should have had this whole front page filled with "witty" things.

72. NO CLASS!!! Of course, nothing really new...but you would think some would show through at times like this. Guess not. I bet your families are so proud of all of you.

73. THIS IS NOT COOL,
THIS IS TACKY AND A CHEAP SHOT.

RIP MERV.

74. Very poor taste! Merv was a classy guy and deserves more respect. I am sure Vanna will be horrified as well. At least Perez knows when to draw the line!

75. Merv had a great sense of humor, and was incredibly proud of his gameshow creations. I am sure he would love this. RIP
