  • Hunter Stockton Thompson (18 de julio de 1937 - 20 de febrero de 2005) fue un periodista y escritor estadounidense, creador e ícono del periodismo gonzo, un modelo de periodismo que plantea eliminar la división entre sujeto y objeto, ficción y no-ficción, y objetividad y subjetividad.
  • Born: Prickle-Prickle, Confusion 53, Year of Our Lady of Discord 3103 Died: Sweetmorn, Chaos 51, Year of Our Lady of Discord 3171 Born in Louisville, Kentucky, as a child, he quickly grew into adulthood in a mere eighteen years. After a brief stint in Jefferson County jail, and a not so brief tour in the Air Force, Hunter wrote for several newspapers from New York to San Juan. In 3132, YOLD, Hell's Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motercycle Gangs was published. This provided a stark look into the twisted lifestyle of California's Premier outlaw gang.
  • Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (July 18, 1937 – February 20, 2005) was an American Hero—a true American Hero—not the kind of weasely hero the flashy periodicals try to sell you along with some new pharmeceutical that'll make your dick harder than Chinese algebra, no, not like the type they teach pimply-faced schoolkids to adore because they kept America from being a Communist Russian Resort, no, more like the type that should have his ever-lovin' mug carved on Mount Rushmore, a true American that loved his country and loved it's guns. Big guns, little guns, guns that shoot the shit out of anything that moves or gets in the way, those kind of guns for that kind of hero.

  • Born: Prickle-Prickle, Confusion 53, Year of Our Lady of Discord 3103 Died: Sweetmorn, Chaos 51, Year of Our Lady of Discord 3171 Born in Louisville, Kentucky, as a child, he quickly grew into adulthood in a mere eighteen years. After a brief stint in Jefferson County jail, and a not so brief tour in the Air Force, Hunter wrote for several newspapers from New York to San Juan. In 3132, YOLD, Hell's Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motercycle Gangs was published. This provided a stark look into the twisted lifestyle of California's Premier outlaw gang. In 3136,YOLD, Hunter ran for sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado on the "Freak Power" ticket. After his first article for Rolling Stone, "The Battle of Aspen", was published, the Republicans and Democrats (in a shady backroom deal) conspired to steal the election as polls showed Hunter to have a slim lead in the three way race. Stung by the Two-Bit-Whorishness of both parties, Hunter returned to journalism with a new found edge. Gonzo journalism was born and although brief hints were present in Hell's Angels, his article, "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved" is considered to be the first full flowering of his new style. Manic, desperate, a stream of consciousness writing style blurring the lines of subjective and objective, fact and fiction, fueled by adrenaline and whatever drugs were to be found. This savage new school of journalism was to propel him to fame in his seminal book on the death of the American dream...

Yes, kids, this does mean your guidance counselor failed to explore all feasible career options for you. You could have been a goddamned American Hero. Instead, his sad legacy is simply of a man whose writing is to be forever pathetically imitated by students of American creative writing and literature. (Like all the contributors to this article - this piece needs to rewritten from the ground up by the unsmitten - then it might have some content worth reading. As it stands it's a public circle jerk.)
