That appalling obituary has inspired this highly entertaining hashtag

People are channeling their frustration on #MyOzObituary.

EARLIER TODAY, THIS obituary of celebrated author Colleen McCullough caused quite a stir online.

The obituary appeared in The Australian and the reference to her appearance in the opening paragraph did not sit well with many.

So much so that people are now penning their own highly entertaining obituaries under the hashtag #MyOzObituary.

Authors Caitlin Moran and Neil Gaiman weighed in.

Comedians Craig Ferguson, Katy Brand and Adam Hills participated as well.

As did many others.

You can read all the brilliant responses here.
