    That poor woman has been through so much. She certainly had her part to play back then but she seemed genuinely repentant and torn apart by her husband’s cheating. Bless her.

    And so ends the longest-ever animal testing of cosmetics. It was reported that she had 26 tumors, all in different garish colors.

    That was wrong, Funder… but it was still funny. lol.

    Tammy Faye was such a beautiful person, she was strong and funny til the end. I hope she’s happier, wherever she is.

    You know her bastard ex-husband never bothered contacting her throughout this whole thing? I hope he burns.

    Meh. She was a retarded dayglo squeaktoy, so I had to make her suffer a little at the end. I fuckin hate retards, I don’t know why Dad keeps cranking them out. The big irony is that her will says she’ll be buried in a giant vat of cold cream. Go figure.

    She was a thief and a con artist and used the gay community to further her career, but still, noone deserves to go that way.

    I read this site every day and I totally enjoy the irreverent style. I have to say, though, that when I noticed Tammy Faye’s picture I expected the caption to be the normal putdown. I was very pleased to see that it was a simple mention of her death. One problem with some putdown humorists is that they don’t know when to turn it off.

    Good for you.

    Ok…For everyone who had something bad to say about this lady, you should feel VERY bad! Never speak ill of the dead! She was very brave and made a point to show people everywhere suffering the same fate that death was something to be embraced because of what waits beyond it. RIP Tammy.

    I can not believe some people can be so cruel. It doesn’t matter what you were in life, leave it alone when someone is dead. It’s called respect. Thanks for having some Superficial.

  23. Bern | July 23, 2007 at 12:07 pm

    Yeah, anything she may have inadvertently done to gays, or anyone else, was likely 99% just that — inadvertent.

    Her douchebag husband used her as a pawn and her life became a series of unfortunate events that you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.

    She may not have been the President of MENSA, but I think she was a genuinely well-meaning human being, which is pretty much the best anyone can hope to be remembered as in their life.

    RIP

    It’s probably unnecessary to badmouth her now that she’s dead, but I fail to understand why anyone feels the need to wear a cyber-black-armband here.

    if you can be taken advantage of THAT MUCH, you fuckin deserve it. in the end, everybody is responsible for their own actions, and for the impact their actions have on others. even the most rose-colored glasses types get a clue after awhile, when they’re with the wrong person or involved in bad stuff, and after that there’s no excuse to continue on with a big fat fake smile pasted on your face. it’s not innocence, it’s lack of courage. her spineless apologists make me sick – what, she’s innocent because “Tammy Faye” is such a cute name? Grow up.

    Good, along with Falwell, another horrible person died. I don’t get the free pass this woman gets with the media. This bitch, along with her horrible ex-husband, took advantage of millions of idiots back in the 1980s. I love how in her last interview she talks about going to heaven. I mean, if she really believes in such nonsense wouldn’t she be going to hell? Good riddence.

    Who cares…lots of younger people die every day for far more tragic reasons. Jim Baker was a douchebag Holy-Roller swindler and she was a gullible semi-moronic, jesus-freak simpleton. She isn’t in a “better place”…in a few days she’ll be in the ground.

    I don’t think she was a bad person, but come on people….

    I loved this crazy bitch, back in the day. A bunch of us used to sit around, get high, and watch the PTL show until our sides were splitting. It was easily the funniest thing on TV – it’s beyond me how people actually fell for it. Tammy Faye was the best part of the show, because she always seemed really high herself, and always said the wrong thing with perfect timing:
    Jim Bakker: “These are deeply disturbed sinners, and we must-”
    Tammy Faye (tearful): “Offer our love to them!!!”
    Jim Bakker: “-condemn their evil actions.”

    Only Tammy Faye would physically improve after getting terminal cancer. Shame she couldn’t live longer with her new and improved looks.

    all of the cruel stupid ass people that are on this web site..that have anything bad to say about her…may god have mercy on your souls! She did not deserve to die like that! i damn near cried when I saw her on Larry King! It was so sad..to see her wasted away like that! I couldn’t believe my eyes! they showed previous clips of her on the “Surreal Life” and she was like the glue that held them together, and she seemed like such a joy to be around! GAAWD it almost makes me question..God why? I know that she isn’t the only one that has died from cancer, but it was like a rude awakening to me! She couldn’t eat solid foods..only Chicken soup, and rice pudding…BABY RIP, YOUR NOT SUFFERING ANYMORE!

    When she died and they pulled the sheet over her head, it created the whole Shroud of Turin effect. Except this time the image looked like a wrinkled rodent with a too-many-teeth smile and glittering unfocused psycho eyes.

    That was HER on Larry King?!?!!

    I was flipping channels when I saw that, and I assume that they had substituted a piece of beef jerky for his scheduled guest, so I just moved on to another channel. Had I know it was Tammy Faye, I would have moved on, but laughed first.

    It’s karma or something – at the end, she physically resembled a mascara applicator. Must be like owners eventually resembling their pets.

    #32 – Here’s are some new concepts for you to learn:
    1. forgiveness of sins
    2. repentance
    Start by looking their definitions up & then get back to us.

    I never understood why she applied so much makeup to herself the way she did, or why Jim Bakker found that attractive enough to want to marry her. Still, the way she was decimated by cancer when she was on Larry King’s show was tragic. May God have mercy on your soul, TFM.

    These two shamelessly ripped off a lot of gullible people who thought their faith-based donations were going to something better than an air-conditioned dog house and hotel rooms so Jim could get his freak on with Jessica Hahn. I don’t think God sent her cancer as payback because He doesn’t work that way – but I think she might be kinda shocked regarding the free pass to heaven she smugly expected after she died.
