It's dead Kate's birthday

KateI had a somewhat bizarre automated email from Bebo reminding me that it is Kate Modern's birthday on the 1st October.

Kate Modern is of course a fictional character in an online soap opera - but she is also dead, having been murdered at the end of series one.  There's a good clue to this in her screen name: RIP Kate.

So if Bebo can't suppress birthday reminders for fictional dead people, it makes me wonder how well their system works with real dead people.
