Patrick Swayze is Not Dead
Note to Jim Johnson: Further proof Twitter is not news. Twitter users spreaded the rumor that celebrity Patrick Swayze is dead. Swayze publicist sent out a press release to debunk the rumor.
"This is to confirm that Patrick Swayze did not pass away this morning contrary to severely reckless reports stemming from a radio station in Jacksonville, Fla. Patrick Swayze is alive, well and is enjoying his life and he continues to respond to treatment."
Twitter users could have e-mailed Swayze's show The Beast to find out if the story was true. Instead they used morning shock jocks as a news source. Way to go Twitter.
What would any mention of Swayze be without Roadhouse. Kevin Smith talks about the bad movie classic.
