Boing Boing: RIP: philosopher Jean Baudrillard, 1929-2007
Topic: Current Events 5:02 pm EST, Mar  8, 2007

Jean Baudrillard, the French philosopher who described America as the world's "only remaining primitive society," died this week at age 77.

BoingBoing's link is probably the best for this event, as they pull together news stories, and excellent wikipedia article, and an entertaining YouTube video in which someone dubbed Baudrillard's commentary over scenes from Grand Theft Auto. Baudrillards' response to 9/11 was discussed on MemeStreams a few years ago (well, by Jello and I anyway, but the observations are good.)
