Hunter S. Thompson
, creator of the "Gonzo" style of journalism and renowned sex, drugs, rock & roll, and firearms advocate, has apparently taken the pussy way out and shot himself. He was 67 years old. You can relive Thompson's glory days in the classic 1980 Bill Murray comedy Where the Buffalo Roam:



Or the 1998 Johnny Depp Criterion Collection version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas:



He will be missed.
