Icy Simon Cowell wants to be frozen

Simon CowellAmerican Idol judge Simon Cowell (aka “Mr. Nasty”) says he wants to have his body frozen after his death so he can be brought back to life in the future, according to British paper The Daily Mail. He told guests at a private dinner hosted by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown: “I have decided to freeze myself when I die. You know, cryonics. You pay a lot of money and you get stuck in a deep freeze once you’ve been declared dead. Medical science is bound to work out a way of bringing us back to life in the next century or so, and I want to be available when they do. I would be doing the nation an invaluable service.”

    Yeah, be nice to still be young and beautiful in 100-200 years. Our clothes would be pretty outdated though.

    thats true lol we would have to have a shopping party, are you in tg?

    I imagine in 100-200 years (if we’re still around) there would be no need for currency, as we’d just tell the replicator what we want 🙂

    Guys you’re totally wrong about clothes being outdated. I mean the year 2009 is bound to have a comeback in the year 2300 or so…

    No thanks, guys, once I’m gone, I’m gone, no coming back! Actually my tissues (not snotty ones) and organs will be donated, so there will be nothing left TO bring back!

  9. mandee • February 26, 2009 @ 12:40 AM

    awww 🙁 we will be sure to miss you then!! and come to think of it, im an organ donor too!!! maybe ill have to rethink this a little bit, not sure i can survive without a heart?

    you guys are all idiots. NO ONE will ever be brought to life you dumbasses

  11. tributegirl • February 26, 2009 @ 8:45 AM

    Yeah, and no one will EVER walk on the moon either! Hey, wait a minute…..

  12. mandee • February 26, 2009 @ 1:40 PM

    reality, who cares if me and nancy are having a bit of fun? perhaps you have some underlying issues and reasons for trying to bring the 2 of us down for joking around about hanging out after being frozen, but good luck because its not going to work. for someone to call me an “idiot” or a “dumbass” for making light of a situation, you definitely must have had a hard home life, or perhaps you have a hard home life NOW? sorry about your past or present, whichever it is. you definitely deserve better 🙂

    reality, I know people who SWORE that no black man would ever be President of the United States…

  14. demigod • February 26, 2009 @ 9:54 PM

    lily, he’s half-black.

  15. Nancy • February 26, 2009 @ 10:41 PM

    Which half? LOL

  16. lily • February 26, 2009 @ 10:54 PM

    demigod, ANY percentage visibly black would have meant he couldn’t always drink from a public water fountain, never mind become President. I’m just saying we should never say never, much less call people “dumbasses” because they’re chatting about a new scientific possibility.
    Anyway, none of this story about Simon seemed all that serious, including the above posts, so — again — why so harsh, “reality”?

  17. reality • March 1, 2009 @ 8:35 PM

    we cant even bring back a jellyfish–which has alomost no organs. how could we bring back the complex human. it wont take science and it wont take time……………………………………….(just incase)….no magic dosnt exist..if that thats what your thinking

  18. lily • March 1, 2009 @ 8:48 PM

    Well, reality, a lot of things we take for granted today would seem like total magic to people a hundred years ago. How can you say for sure that it will never happen?

  19. tributegirl • March 2, 2009 @ 2:01 PM

    Yeah, if we went back in time 100 years ago, I’m sure the thoughts of cloning, space travel, motion-picture boxes (tv’s), communication other than face to face (telephones, computers), flying machines (airplane’s), would have seemed like foolish impossible dreams as well.
