Theo van Gogh dead.

Most of you probably don't know him (unless your dutch), but film maker Theo van Gogh was just shot and died in Amsterdam.
You probably think there is something familiar to his name : you think correctly, the painter Vincent van Gogh is an ancestor of him.
I liked him. He was confrontational, could express himself quite nicely and didn't care how he looked.
He was definitely not trying to blend in with the rest of the people (the "cattle" syndrom) and just did the things he wanted to do in his own unique way..
He was 47.
