Dead and Over With


Break-ups suck. There really are no two ways about that. Even if you both knew it was wrong and you're both relieved to kick each other to the curb, deep down there is usually even the smallest twinge of sadness. And no, I don't want to hear about all your awesome break-ups and how you guys are still best friends and whatever. Not the point.

What is the point is that break-ups are crappy. And we all know that it's the crappiest of situations that spawn the best ideas. See below.


Killing off your ex never felt so good.

Breaking up is hard to do, and radio reporter Kathleen Horan knows it first-hand. So she created
relationshipobit.com, a Web site where the recently broken-hearted can write an obituary for the love they just lost.

"Most people go through break-ups at some point in their life, and it's hard because you have to let go of the number one person in your life," she said. "Writing an obituary for that dead relationship is like putting the final nail in the coffin."

The relationship obituaries are written just like a regular obituary, and include a cause of death, the survivors of the failed coupling, and any famous last words, like the classic excuse: "It's not you, it's me."

Check out the rest of the article here.

Good old closure. If anything, it's a much better idea than offing your ex...
