Romance, 8,427
Romance, a method of courtship defined by mystery and subtlety, died February 28. It was 8,427 years old. Though it was plagued in recent years by painful bouts of bloat and Reese Witherspoon, the immediate cause of death was Del Taco manager Josh Rivkin uploading a video of his girlfriend squatting above a canister of Pringles, filmed with a camera inside the canister. Born in early Sumerian civilization, romance was responsible for countless sonnets, serenades, and chivalrous acts. It thrived on veiled meanings and longing. It left no survivors.

Romantic Comedy, 81, Dies
A once beloved film genre about two strangers who overcome a seemingly insurmountable obstacle and end up as a happy couple, romantic comedy died in a conference room on the Warner Brothers studio lot Friday, as screenwriter Joe Bernstein was pitching a Kate Hudson vehicle about the romance between a dairy farmer and a lactose-intolerant woman.

The cause was exhaustion. Observers close to the genre feared romantic comedy would die upon the release of the 2005 Reese Witherspoon/Mark Ruffalo movie Just Like Heaven, about the unlikely courtship between a ghost and a landscape architect, but it persisted in a vegetative state for three more years.

My crush on Megan Fox, the actress from the Transformers franchise, died February 5, in my friend's living room. The cause was a magazine article in which Ms. Fox told an interviewer that her farts smell like Chinese food after eating at a Chinese restaurant and that she often forgets to flush the toilet.

My Wife's Crush on Kiefer Sutherland, an actor best known for his work as an intense federal agent on the Fox drama 24, died April 11 on our couch. The cause was the revelation that Mr. Sutherland has formed an indie record label. The crush was four years old. Born in November of 2001 with the premiere episode of 24, the infatuation was a surprise to all. My Wife's Crush on Kiefer Sutherland had been in declining health since she discovered that Mr. Sutherland had moved to Montana in the mid-1990s and joined the rodeo circuit. The immediate cause of death, however, was an Extra interview in which Mr. Sutherland plugged his record label, called Ironworks.
