I'm having a bit of difficulty adapting to life in post-Whitney society.

I would say about a year and a half ago, given that NYT style just wrote an article on this.

I'm wondering when they will switch to Pay Per View for funerals...

Whoops. I forgot it's 2012. Make that two and a half years, and a year ago for the NYT article.

I want someone to take my corpse out into the woods in the back of a rusty pickup and find a nice quiet place to dump me. If they want to film it for posterity, that's fine, I'm sure I won't mind.

Very practical. Shouldn't take up much bandwidth. Actually, just a static image should do fine. Maybe they'd charge more to make it an animated .gif.
