Buzzfeedreports that the #nowthatchersdead hashtag was started by the one-joke website "Is Thatcher Dead Yet?" which now reads "Yes."
This is easily the greatest misunderstanding of a hashtag since a tragic cluster of injuries resulting from Tweeps (yes, this is a word now) who were entirely too eager to test the veracity of the hashtag #penismightierthansword.
Still, just in case, Yr Wonkette wishes to pre-memorialize Cher with that awesome X-Files music video that she now regrets not appearing in, from the 1997 episode "The Post-Modern Prometheus."
We also join Wonkers who are Of A Certain Age in mourning the passing of online classical music comedian, A Net Funny Cello.
Believe me, if Cher died, EVERYONE would know. We Ghayz would be howling, shaking, and rolling on the floor in mourning.
from your mouth to god's ear.
