Marcel Marceau
irritating mime artist, has karked it.
‘Oh look, he’s miming dying again. He’ll be fine.’ Now can we stop having people pretending to be against plate glass windows in public, please? Where I used to live we had a schizophrenic gentleman who patrolled the town centre and dealt with them really well, and those dickheads who pretend to be statues, they really couldn’t stand a shower of thorazine saliva and soon started moving in the general direction of away. He should have been awarded a small stipend from the town.

I’m glad to see that there is someone else out there with a hatred of all things mime. I can’t even explain why I loath it so much, it’s utterly visceral.
Cheers, to the death of mime and may I recommend Vetinari’s take on them in the Discworld:
“Mimes who violate the ban usually find themselves trying to climb invisible ladders out of Vetinari’s scorpion pit whilst reading a sign saying ‘learn the words.’”
