Hadn't heard of this, having been outside of the general goth scene for quite a while... but I do agree with you entirely. It's like these mass displays of public grief that seem to be going on all the time since that blond horse face bint that shagged the son of a large department store died and just about every other "high profile" death since. If it isn't someone I know personally then I really don't see the point in stuff like this - and to be honest even if I did know them I would probably do something more useful than sticking a bench somewhere with a meaningless message screwed onto it.
Just so I don't seem utterly callous - I did know a guy paralysed from the neck down following a big mountain bike accident. He was rescued, and his life saved, but the Air Ambulance Service which depends entirely on donations... so as a result I will do what I can to help raise money for them :-)
