Anthony Bourdain dead at 61
 

Apparently it was suicide ? Very sad !

That´s really fucked up.

stfu. really? checking tmz now

holy sht you're right... RIP

Nah, fuck him

sad news :(

I was watching his show a few weeks ago and thought to myself "he looks terrible and miserable."

Dang, sad to hear.

Loved his show,

Asia Argento was the last nail in his coffin . . .

You should be embarrassed at some of the crap you write.

It is gross what he wrote, but you shouldn't call anyone out on embarrassing posts.

he was a cool guy...

Says the guy who is going to need to be surgically removed from Trumps anus when this is all said and done.

Girl you start 5 new threads daily about Trump don't derail this with your nonsense.

what an assholey selfish stunt.

Loved his show.
It sucks
Rip sir

I rarely make a thread on here. You on the other hand spend every waking moment putting out Trump fires. Project much?

Pigshit :2 cents:

he came to Chile to eat the "completos" (hot dogs with tomato and abocado and mayonese)

R.I.P.

Nothing in this post is true.

Snappy comeback.

Maybe he was choke wanking or what ever its called

good point.

Asia Argento can't be killed, cause that would be too obvious, so he was. Interesting to see who wins this long term.

WTF...these fucks offing themselves are selfish cunts

Stranglebation.

I don't get it. Gets to travel the planet to any exotic place he chooses, eat all the best food from these places, is worshiped by his followers and fans and decides life is not worth living.

What a shame. He was great at showing us the good sides of other cultures.

RIP.

i dont get the peoples public opinion sometimes. would the GP rather read mass casualty headlines or single person suicide headlines? like really at least they have the decency to not harm other people once theyve lost all their marbles. personally i have too much hate in my heart for many people to ever give the world the satisfaction. some people just cant seem to find solutions in their head because its a lot of work to self heal.

People have their demons. I know he used to have a heroin addiction, never know what goes on behind closed doors. Heavy is the head that wears the crown sometimes

He had the only good show on CNN. I've watched Bourdain for years and really appreciated how he wasn't self important and could find beauty in anything and always good things to say about any dish, any city, any people. I always thought it was awesome that recovering from his past drmons would come up now and then and he always dpoke about iitopenly giving hope to others. I feel so sad for his little daughter.

I saw this episode, yes this conversation is an insult to anyones intelligence, but to put their stupidity into perspective:

The German guy is a classic example of how a lot of Germans are: Molded since birth by their schools and mainstream media into having constant guilt because of WW2 , even though anyone born after WW2 has ZERO to do with that era, including this guy.
The result of this indoctrination is the naive utopian fantasy world view (as he admits himself) this guy has. Everything is racist in their view, you cannot talk to them objectively about issues like the mass immigration crisis (even though Merkel herself admitted it was a huge mistake).

Bourdains view is simply based on lack of knowledge on this particular subject, simply because he is not living there, has zero experience on this particular crisis and clearly hasn't informed himself at all. He probably knows more about illegal immigration in the US, which is incomparable to what's going on here. Apples and oranges.

Loved his work. RIP

Depression is a hell of a thing.

It's interesting you say that. Not too long ago my girlfriend and I were watching his show and she said much the same. She thought he looked exhausted and like he really didn't want to be there.

No Reservations was one of the coolest and funniest shows ever. So sad. He was amazing.

Sometimes people who commit suicide aren't depressed.

Robin Williams didn't want his mind to degrade more with his Parkinson's disease and he didn't want to be a burden on anyone.


It's possible Bourdain, a smoker, was diagnosed with cancer and opted for suicide rather than go through the pain of chemotherapy, or maybe he was diagnosed terminal brain cancer. It's too early to tell right now.

You fucking idiots calling him selfish, it's his life, if he wants to end that's his decision.

Strange as it may seem to some of you, being super rich and traveling the world doesn't equal automatic happiness or fulfillment. Strange huh? Let that sink in for a second, if you're even capable of rational thought.

i don't care how rich he is or isn't, suicide is NOT OK. and suicide is entirely selfish by fucking definition.

and a few million is hardly rich. super rich? please.

He has another series I just found out about today called Raw Craft, here's a link to the full series on YouTube :thumbsup

No Reservations was SO MUCH better than the newer CNN show.

It's definitely wrong, but in the end it's his life, which he has to live. I don't agree that it's selfish. I would look for another word to describe it: tragic, hurtful, regretful, sad, etc. But I can't agree that it's selfish.

Rich or super rich isn't the point. The point is money and fame don't equal fame, in fact, it's usually quite the opposite.

Super rich people also commit suicide, too.

You have to wonder about wealthy men who've travelled everywhere and done everything, at what point does your life turn into a rerun of what you've already done? How many reruns can you watch without eventually wanting to turn off the show?

There can be some of that, obviously, but this guy struggled with heroine addiction for years. That (any addiction really) can fuck you up and cause long term depression. Anyone can be depressed and see life as dark tunnel with no light at the end, thus, not worth living.

I didn't consider how much he's worth, I think it's ultimately inconsequential in suicides except for those truly down on their luck. I stated in the kate spade suicide thread that if I were a billionaire and hadn't given most all my resources to helping people and animals then I'd kill myself too.

We disagree on selfish acts. no worries. BUT. suicide is a huge massive problem and growing. you know that. We need to stand up to it in every way we can. Being firm about it NOT being OK at all ever is something I feel strongly about. I have reasons for that.

You don't have to be depressed to see life as not worth living. A lot of people have really really aweful shitty lives, a lot. Rich people can have really shitty lives too.

Someone like Anthony Bourdain who has done so much good work at some point might look at themselves and think I've done everything I've ever wanted to do and I've done it over and over again what more do I have to offer? Maybe he was just tired and bored with life? Maybe we'll find out more about his mindset soon I'm curious. Sucks he's gone he was truly unique, kind & giving.

You haven't posted anything on this board besides whiney Trump hate nonsense.

Should someone knowing they are dying prolong their suffering?

There is an ignore button, use it.
