Um... you were dead?
So, did you see the white light but then turn away at the last minute? Damn those Votrons!

I've never been thought dead... that would be interesting. Where did the rumor come from? I hadn't heard it.

  People were just confusing him with Mr. Rogers.
  
  Understandable, imho. Mr. Rogers is just like an older, edgier Wil Wheaton.

What rumors? (Score:2)

Could you cite the rumors you're denying (from beyond, perhaps)? There doesn't seem to be anything in the news about it [google.com].
Also, subject line reference -- Bill & Ted? That's just on the tip of my tongue.... ahh, The Clash, ok. *phew* Yay Joe Strummer...

Your search - "wil wheaton is dead" - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:
- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
- Try different keywords.
- Try more general keywords.
Also, you can try Google Answers [google.com] for expert help with your search.

Maybe you should hire a new publicist or something. I don't think the current one's getting the rumors out there well enough.

There was a rumor that Wil Wheaton was dead. Some troll posted the "Truly an American Icon" post, except this time, Wil was the subject. Sadly, that troll was reportedly shot dead (according to Reuters news). He will not be missed.

    A.) Why is fan number important?
    Compared to most things in life, it definitely is not important. What is important, is that Wil is not dead. I was legitimately worried after reading those posts (just kidding) ;-).
    B.) You just post porn links, not discussion.
    There is plenty to discuss. More than there is to discuss here (Wil is not dead, what else is there to discuss? Nothing wrong with a little banter).
    C.) You prey on lonely nerds, infatuated so blindly that they think you are an actual woman.
    HAHAHAH! How in the world am I preying on anyone? You write as if I'm hiding behind a tree stump waiting to pounce on my fans. I'm just giving out links to free porn in exchange for fans. I'm a fan whore. Who cares? Free porn! If you don't want free porn (which many people don't, I respect them for it), then just don't look at my journal.

      I noticed you were on my short list of fans too (51 and adding about one a week, tho completely unsolicited). At least I knew who you were, cuz I've seen and replied to lots of your posts. Some of these folks, I've never heard of!
      
      Doesn't surprise me that Wil has a long fan list. He's a great guy in person, too. (And one of the funniest speakers I've *ever* seen!)

  To cause maximum confusion and anarchy amongst /. posters and mods Wil's death, when it finally happens, should involve a suicide pact with Stephen King.
  
  The obituary would probably read something like a J. G. Ballard story from the sixties (though who should play the part of Elizabeth Taylor is left as an exercise for the reader).
