Such a sad reminder of the fragility of life. A less sad reminder of the fragility of life? The hobo that was shot in the chest after butchering “My Way” at a karaoke bar in the Philippines. The Sinatra classic has since been removed from most karaoke bars in Manila for causing “fights and even deaths when patrons sang out of tune.” Fuckin’ circle of life, man!
