Michael jackson

[Nex]

When i heard this morning that he had died i didn't believe it, until i heard it on the news for myself.

Michael Jackson dead: reports - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

good riddance.

[Fuggle]

good riddance.

Now while I think Maths post is a little extreme, I do believe the response of the public is a little over the top. The truth is if you had a national poll today and yesterday about your thoughts of MJ, 95% of yesterday's would say Lunatic/Crazy or Child Molestor w/e the **** other negative shit, and today it'd be all Loved Hero. Now while it may sound cold the MJ we respected and loved "died" 15 years ago. Ever since, whether due to his ****ed up raising as a child star or drug abuse or thousands of other catalysts, he's been a completely different person. His death is already being cashed in on, look at iTunes. They are advertising his music like nobody's business on the front page of the store for 1.29 a song, now all his songs are in the top 100 downloaded. It's a shame. I feel bad for his family, not only for his loss but for the debt they'll be inevitably inheriting.

And of course Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon's deaths were overlooked which is also a shame. CNN had a maybe 15 second long clip about the 2 of them. Sad week.

Gogo first (and maybe last post) in forever.

Actually yea, me too. I didn't believe it at first. This guy is only 51!.. I do care and don't care. Beat it has to be one of my favourite music videos but this whole ordeal takes the Iran issue outta of the spotlight
Which is not good

Beat it by Pierce the Veil is pretty awesome. They did a good cover.

I guess it's sad he died, but I don't think he did himself any favors by living the way he did. He made himself frail, and it killed him in the end. I think it's ridiculous the celebrity pop culture stars get to. If Obama died at the same time as MJ, I think they'd have to compete for the spotlight instead of the President getting first priority. It's rediculous.

^Ridiculous is spelled with an "i".

Although I believe MJ definantly had some sort of misconduct with children, I believe that some of the childrens' suits were fake and only intended to get money from MJ. I like MJ's music and pity more than abhor him for his personal life (Although molesting children is a big no, no matter what your personal state is).

he was also rumored to have cancer. no source cause i didn't buy the magazine that said it.

[LaserBack]

He had lots of diseases. Very serious diseases, I heard that...

[Nethran]

i herd he wuz haff aliun

[Aka Gambit]

I laughed when I saw all these kids crying on the news lol I am sorry but I could care less about his death...I care as much as I would when a fly farts.

I totally agree with Fug, it's a shame that he isn't going to be remembered as probably the greatest music artists who has ever lived, instead his legacy goes down with child molsestering, bankruptcy, among other things.

[Mathalamus]

you can ruin your reputation with just one bad action. its justified.

Beatles was far superior.

He was determined to be 99% plastic, so instead of being cremated, he will be melted down into plastic leogs so kids can play with him for a change.

[Nethran]

I heard that earlier... That's one hell of a fast moving joke. 'Cept the version I heard was that he was going to be melted down into Legos.

[Aka Gambit]

I heard he is being melted down into plastic to be used in new bottles cause RECYCLING IS GOOD! "Remember kids, everyone has got to do their part to help mother nature!"

[The Mob]

ouch people ouch..
not that i care. but the cause of death is most likely linked to overuse of prescription drugs.

you would think that they would have learned by now.

[Nethran]

Elvis died at 41? The cause: abuse of prescription drugs. The King of Rock.

Michael Jackson died at 50. Abuse of prescription drugs. The King of Pop.

Lets hope the other "kings", when they are so named, will learn from the mistakes of their counterparts.

I said it too many times, forgot the lego part.

Depends on the genre. Rap is doomed, considering the momentary best in the business and probably considered to be the all time best can only seem to go through drug addictions. Presuming he doesn't get shot first.

all the actors and actresses could take a page out of their books as well.
