You people are just bloody unbelievable.
Tell me, what is disrespectful about telling the truth?
Straining at stool ... evacuation ... both proper medical terms.
Oh, and guess who invented the toilet? (Well, the balcock actually ... or is that too rude for here?)
Mr CRAPPER. That's where the name comes from!
Seriously, you people need to get a bloody grip.

And don't take the holier-than-thou approach and dare lecture me about what constitutes being an Elvis fan.

Getlo - cute'n'cuddly
Let me ask u something? Would u like to be refered to in that manner if u had died "on the crapper"? Or what if it were ur mother or father that died that way..It was very dispresectful of jimmy to say thatI used to like him and it wasent this comment that turned be against him. It was the fact that he like to hurt people

Son if you ever say another derogatory word about Elvis Aaron Presley I WILL KICK THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF YOU!~
Once again ...
CRAPPER is a perfectly acceptable term for the toilet, the commode, the outhouse, the dunny, the loo, the little boys' room ... etc
Would it be any more respectful if I had said "toilet"?
And if my mother and father had died that way - and were world famous personalities - I'd take any silly comments from the likes of Kimmel with a grain of salt.
And so should you.

Hell your right, we should start a thread here making fun of Elvis...i mean, heck just take it with a grain of salt makes it all okay don't it...maybe if you lived in the USA and knew how long these stupid old jokes have been told, and when you tell people you are a fan of Presley you hear the same ol lame jokes..and its sad!

I never heard about Kimmel before.. but now and forever, in my eyes Jimmy Kimmel – stupid jerk! No matter what.
I think that some people just enjoy upsetting other people,and no matter how truthful their words might be they know why they do it,it isn`t because they have an affinity for truth and honesty..it is because it makes them feel clever and important...at least to themselves.Yes, there probably is a place for the truth about the death of Elvis Presley...complete with the correct medical terms...but it isn`t on some tacky show by some half talented "entertainer"...or by some know-it-all on a message board.
What happened to being respectful of the dead? It is unbelievably disrespectful to use another human being's manner of dying as a public joke!! My own father had a fatal heart attack after getting out of the shower-naked, of course. It hurts me to think that he died in such an undignified way. I certainly would be very, very hurt if someone made jokes about the man I saw as the most important person in the world! I can only imagine how hurt Lisa Marie is when she hears these sort of things! It is just totally uncalled for and not the least bit funny!

ELVIS ALWAYS
Some people have no respect for others no matter who they are and in turn, have no respect for themselves in showing coldness, insensitivity and lack of manners. Choice of words make all the difference in the world as to how a person is perceived.

To come on this board and make those comments was just nothing but UNCALLED FOR. I'm sure you patted yourself on the back as you got up from your computer thinking "GOOD JOB GETLO"!!!
Forever Best Friends
WHILE I CAN CERTAINLY SEE GETLO'S POSITION THAT HE IS SIMPLY REPORTING WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED ON THE DAY ELVIS DIED, I CAN ALSO UNDERSTAND THE FEELINGS OF THOSE MEMBERS WHO ARE/MAY BE OFFENDED BY THE TERMINOLOGY USED IN GETLO'S DESCRIPTION.
SINCE WE ALL KNOW HOW ELVIS DIED, I THINK THAT IT IS BEST IF WE SIMPLY MOVE ON AND STICK TO THE ORIGINAL SUBJECT AT HAND....THE THOUGHTS OF THE FORUM MEMBERS ON JIMMY KIMMEL'S REMARKS ABOUT ELVIS DURING THE AWARDS SHOW. AND YES, I KNOW HIS REMARKS INCLUDED THE USE OF THE WORD "TOILET" BUT I THINK WE CAN POST OUR FEELINGS ABOUT HIS REMARKS WITHOUT HAVING TO REFER TO TOILETS (OR ANY OTHER ASSOCIATED TERMS).
TCB!

We will miss you dearest friend
