And the post-death messages that they like Ikea, or Chipotle, which are spooky, weird and tacky, all at once.

It really gives "famous last words" a whole new meaning since all your tweets and Facebook statuses are forever immortalized. It makes me wonder what seemingly mundane thing will be the last thing people see from me on social media and will in turn be the first thing people see on my page when they find out I'm dead.
It reminds me of Cory Monteith's (from Glee) recent passing. His last tweets were, "what the crap is Sharknado" "oh. IT'S A SHARK TORNADO." Just seems so odd to be remembered that way.

Very. Before my best friend passed, that morning his final tweet was "Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die." He died in a drunk driving accident in which he was the passenger several hours later that afternoon.

I'm sure that people who knew him (either personally or by enjoying his acting work) remember him differently. People who just followed him on Twitter, meh.

Death rarely waits for a convenient moment. http://xkcd.com/791/

Especially since he (presumably) didn't actually die in a sharknado.
