Lazy Guide to Net Culture: Never say Di

excerpt:


By far the best psychic website featuring the late princess has to be the Diana-Morrissey Phenomenon, which claims that her death was foretold by, wait for it, the lead singer of The Smiths. (Needless to say, the site is not endorsed by members of the band.)

This intricate theory draws on works as diverse as The Smiths' album "The Queen is Dead" and the film "Carry On Cleo" (No, I'm not making this up.) Here is a sample of its rigorous analysis:

For the cover of this album whose title announces the death of a royal female, Morrissey chose a photo of a French man named Alain, (actor Alain Delon). The first public announcement of Princess Diana's death was made by a French man named Alain, (Dr. Alain Pavie, head of the Cardiology department at Paris' Hospital de la Pitie Salpetriere).

Morrissey named THE QUEEN IS DEAD after a chapter title in the Hubert Selby novel LAST EXIT TO BROOKLYN. BROOKLYN is the largest of the five boroughs that comprise the city of NEW YORK. Diana's fatal car crash occurred in an underpass tunnel in which she was headed toward the EXIT TO THE AVENUE DE NEW YORK...

    This is how I found The Smiths! (Score:1)
    Thank God for these websites. I first discovered the Smiths by reading the prediction theory about Diana's death on a website then downloading the song (There is a Light) on Napster! I was hooked from the on!

    Such a little thing in my life makes such a big difference.

      Morrissey is Brooklyn Beckham's real father and Alain Delon is really the father of Alain Whyte and they all live in a giant shoe in Watford with Barbra Windsor, who is related to the Queen of England ( Windsor...geddit) who is really a shape shifting lizard - who ordered Princess Margaret - another shape shifting Lizard to be made into a pink coin purse for Nancy Sinatra after she died ( I've seen the pictures!! ) and Nancy Sinatra is really Nancy Reagan. Its all true - I tell you, an arab chap on the bus told me just after I found his wallet on the floor and gave it back to him...he also told me......

      Oh for christ sake, keep up the medication.

      di's death (Score:0)
      maybe these silly theories are around so people will think all theories about her death are bollocks. after all, it's totally bloody obvious that she was killed off by the royal family, yet everyone is too thick as pigshit to notice. she hated the royal family, they hated her. even henry "war criminal" kissinger said she was a political nightmare and hence the need for her to be removed.

        It is known that musicians have an extra sense. *musicians in tune by jenny boyd, M.D.*
        Highly superior human beings like Morrissey "feel" more than the average human being. We all know Morrissey is extra sensitive, and reads and write a whole lot. He is the type that knows what the public wants. If all this stuff about DI is true, than so be it, Morrissey knows a lot more about God than we do.

          Diana is Julia (Score:1)
          When I went to see Moz in Liverpool I got talking to a bloke who told me that Julia is really Diana. Diana faked her own death so that she could stop pretending to like George Michael and listen to some decent music.
