Who wants to hear a story about how stupid I am

Every single time I hear someone reference Madonna as still being alive (like when they mention her Tumblr or Instagram), my brain immediately goes, “wait, no. Madonna is very definitely dead.” Like, I am CERTAIN that Madonna is dead. It’s a rock solid fact of my existence, there’s simply no way she’s alive, that’s “proof you’ve woken up in a parallel universe” kind of shit.

Madonna is not dead. But I keep forgetting that, and being dead certain that she is. I remember watching documentaries about her, about her history of being abused at home and in the industry, about her courage and skill and how she was taken advantage of, about what an iconic actress she was. I remember the outrage when that Playboy jerk got buried next to her as “the ultimate blonde”.

Now, people more astute than me might have noticed that I have confused Madonna with Marilyn Monroe. I usually don’t get this far in the proceedings. I usually go, “oh, I must be confusing her with someone else. Who is it… oh, Marilyn! It’s the M’s that must be tripping me up!

I’ve confused Madonna with Marilyn Manson!”

Who is also still alive, though I genuinely wish he wasn’t.

I was confused by this reaction so I googled Marilyn Manson and it turns out I have also confused Marilyn Manson with Eddie Izzard.

How many celebrity victims with this identity trolly claim before you find someone actually dead?

#I get those two confused too 😭#also. this is a safe space so I will ask#is marilyn manson not a serial killer 

WHEN I REALISED MY MARILYN MONROE MISTAKE I ALSO THOUGHT THIS but no apparently he is a singer and I don’t know what the serial killer’s name is

Charles Manson. Who is in fact dead.

lostsometime

To be fair, Marilyn Manson deliberately chose his stage name to reference Marilyn Munroe and Charles Manson, so he wants you to think of them when you say it.  It’s kind of the point!

tribblehugger96

okay but Eddie Izzard?

derinthescarletpescatarian

I just hear the name Marilyn Manson and I think “oh yeah that’s a genderpunk rockstar name”

And yes I did think that Eddie Izzard was a rockstar. I… may have gotten her a little bit confused with Ozzie Osborne.

maximum-mom

Ok. Well Eddie Izzard is alive.

But you did finally stumble upon someone who is dead. Apparently Ozzie Osborne died literally 2 days ago.

Best part is that none of these people look anything like each other

Just to add some more confusion to this the reason Max thought Ozzy was dead was because there was a Twitter death hoax that got picked up by some fans not realizing it was a fake post and it snowballed a bit.
