http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyO6fgSQrBg Eduard Khil, or as the westerner know him as Mr.Trololo, died of a stroke yesterday night related to his weak heart condition. His awards for arts and performance in Russia included the Order of the Red Banner of Labor in 1971(that's like being knighted) and the Order of Merit for the Fatherland in 2009. The Russian mourned his death and so did the internet trolls and fans that Eduard Khil openly embraced to his dying breath. R.I.P Eduard Khil 4 September 1934 – 4 June 2012 "I hope you are even MORE glad to be returning home now!" Lien ...Ok one last time...
You know what's most sad about this whole thing? The guy was brilliant and amazing, and yet he'll only be remembered for inadvertently being a part of an annoying trend because of asshats.
But he "embraced" those asshats, which legitimizes their efforts, right? Agreed, this guy was apparently amazing well before being found by the idiots of the internet. I can only imagine that in the Fatherland, he is missed more for his art than his meme.
You'll be pissed to find out he is still alive, wouldn't you? That's how trololol lovers will use his death. Anyways, I was one of the idiots that founded his music and posted here. R.I.P. Eduard
except you're wrong. he'll be remembered as brilliant and amazing by those who it matters to be remembered by. and won't be by those it doesn't. therefore it doesn't matter.
So you're saying the majority of the idiots on the internet don't matter/ I agree completely. Good point.
