Michael (NBC's The Office): I lost Ed Truck. And it feels like somebody took my heart, and dropped it into a bucket of boiling tears. And, at the same time, somebody else is hitting my soul in the crotch with a frozen sledgehammer. And then, a third guy walks in and starts punching me in the grief bone. And I’m crying, and nobody can hear me. Because I am terribly, terribly, terribly alone.

when people feel sad about something that doesn't really affect them, just because the enjoy feeling sad. most of the population do it when someone famous dies. people pretend to know the deceased, or have some connection with them, just so they can enjoy some grief.
Example 1. When JLB Credit goes under in the TV series Peepshow, Jeremy is sad even though he has only been working there for a couple of hours.
Mark: You're free loading on my trauma. You're a grief thief.
Example 2.
Person 1: Why are you wearing black and crying?
Person 2: Didn't you hear? Trevor that we used to go to college with died.
Person 1: What? And? You never even spoke to him in four years of going to college with him, and I seem to recall you thought he was a knob jockey. you have had no contact with him for the last 7 years and his death will have exactly no impact in your life what-so-ever. you're such a grief thief.

unbelievable, shocking, something that is hard to imagine though seems to happen on a potentially recurring basis.

The practice of making unorthodox memorials to the recently deceased, like airbrushed t-shirts featuring the likeness of the dead or MySpace tribute profiles featuring lots of animated images and bad original music. So named because the people who do this sort of thing often belong to a very specific socioeconomic segment.
Did you see Keesha's family on BART last night? They're all wearing those ghetto grief shirts from her cousin Shontaine's funeral.

Grief porn is a form of masturbatory frenzy engaged in by the media and politicians when there is some form of disaster. It exploits the basic voyeuristic nature of humans who get their rocks off by feeling good by looking at the suffering of others.
A recent of example of grief porn here in Australia was the mawkish obsession with the four-year-old girl thrown off a bridge by her deranged father, and the ongoing obsession with pictures of the poor girl in the local media. A similar example is the excessive presentation of baby photos of adults children and babies recently incinerated alive in the recent wildfires in Australia.

“Somebody help me. I just fucked a lady”
“Somebody help me. I just fucked a lady”
