What scum

CNN.com - Man admits hoax death e-mails - Jan 3, 2005

Maybe - I'm just trying to think charitably here - he thought he could provide some kind of closure for their grief?

Although I have to admit it reminds me of how my mother, irritated by people who dialed the wrong number, would snap "He's not here, he died last week!" and bang the phone down. A short fuse, Mom had.
