ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The government is shut down. There was a deadly chase in the nation's capital. But the reason Albuquerque Journals are selling out across town has nothing to do with all that seriousness. Fans are clamoring for copies of Friday editions with a fake obit for Walter White.

Placed by "Breaking Bad" fans who said they wanted "closure" after the series finale Sunday, the notice appears on page A4 of Friday's Journal (http://bit.ly/158KZzg ). It's headlined "White, Walter" and includes a photo of Bryan Cranston, the actor who played the chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin on the popular AMC drama filmed in Albuquerque.

The obituary says the 52-year-old "founded a meth manufacturing empire" and he died "after a long battle with lung cancer and a gunshot wound."

Journal Editor Kent Walz says his digital team reports online traffic for the White obit and a story explaining its origins is about 40 times that of a typical story, and the library says calls for copies of the paper have been nonstop.

...


The Journal did get one complaint, he said, "from somebody who says he had avoided knowing what happened to Walter and was going to watch the episode later. He said we ruined it for him."

3. At what point does the world move on without these holdouts?

The Japanese soldiers eventually had to come out of the mountains of The Philippines..

11. That's my thought. The world is supposed to not talk about things.

Guess what else? Old yeller gets rabies. Dorothy kills the witch. Rosebud is a damn sled and Rhett finally has it up with all the p
psycho drama shit and walks the fuck out.

6. Breaking Bad is a 62 hour cinematic masterpiece.

Hell there's very few, if any movies made in the last few years that can compare to the cinematic scope of Breaking Bad - brilliant writing, brilliant filming and acting, there's nothing else like it.

7. Now I will need to get the DVD's and watch it again.

More slowly.

To listen to the music.

8. I've been going through all the seasons.

Have the last 8 on my DVR, and the rest on Blu Ray. I just finished watching "Fly" last night.

9. I cleared off the dvr now.

The dvds will have extra info.

I really did like the music.

I guess I know what my christmas present to me will be.

10. The Fly was good.

Did the fly ever get caught.

I don't remember.

13. Yeah Jesse killed it while Walt was sleeping.

12. They are on Netflix. Except for the very recent onec.

Yeah. That entire series with all the extras would be an amazing thing.

[texanwitch]

14. I don't buy many dvd sets but this one I will.

I don't have Netflix anymore.

To many shows so little time to watch.

16. The Finale was sooo good.

No show will top that.
