Michael Jackson is dead!

[a happy song]

He made one of the best albums of all time, a collection of brilliant pop songs, and was one of the greatest performers to ever grace the stage.

Rest in peace, Michael.

[Diamondeye]

Rest in peace, Michael. You will be missed.

[sheganican]

He didn't deserve The Beatles music.

His music was pretty cool.

I wont miss him.

[Mae]

If this had occured around ten years ago I'd be upset, but now it's rather pathetic.

Yeah, it's pathetic when people fall over and die.

[Rhekatou]

They're still figuring it out, but pain meds are a possibility.

[乳头的早餐谷物]

im pretty pissed now that a bunch of people who didnt give a shit about him prior to today all of a sudden have bleeding hearts and lame facebook statuses saying how great he was. A couple a years ago everyone wanted him in jail.

That would be because the guy is dead. Whether or not you think he belonged in jail or was a freak of nature is irrelevant. As long as they weren't mass murderers in life, showing respect to the deceased is both accepted and encouraged. You didn't have to like him. Just respect his death and move on.

Those who wanted him in jail back them would have believed him to be a child molester, which I don't think deserves any respect in death. I'm not one of those people, by the by. This is a rather sad and (somehow fittingly) bizarre way for the man to go out. Yes, Michael Jackson may be dead, but he's not going to be gone for a while.

After all, plastic can take thousands of years to decompose.

(Yeah. Sorry.)

[Pixon]

50,000 Africans died today ;_;

Hey, no one looks bad at his own funeral.

I personally don't really care about his death. I mean, I liked his music, and he was a kick-ass dancer, but I'm not nearly as distraught with it. It happens. I guess, since I'm not as old, or as into music as the rest of you, I can't really relate. Sorry.

[Cheez]

Well, now there's the issue of who's going to take care of his kids.

O_o

funny. ha. ha. ha. ha. ha. ha.

No, I'm being serious.

You do know he was married for a time, and had kids, don't you?

What on earth is up with this Rhekatou kid.

How disrespectful do you have to be?

[McP]

i dunno i thought it was a better post when it was a pedo joke

[Donfuy]

It's not that I liked him that much, but I do realize the importance of Michael Jackson to pop music, and I do like Thriller and Beat it. It's really a shame that he couldn't even start his ultimate tour

Like many great musicians, he lived too much, too early.

Did his death actually transform him into a former flying cancer-curing rainbow unicorn, though?

Like, really. My problem is that everyone *loves* him now because he died, rather than them simply saying R.I.P. like most of the people in this thread. It's like the girl at Skyline's school who died while speeding without a license and texting at the wheel (Only the Good Die Young.) People thought she was a bitch, but for a while afterward she was a fucking angel. It bothers me.

[Ampersand]

*That's how it fucking works when someone dies*.

[otters]

*That's how it fucking works when someone dies*.

I'm highly skeptical.

Because we all know that Michael Jackson was completely non-notable before he died. His death is the only thing that will make him remembered for anything at all. That whole "King of Pop" title he's gotten over the last few days? Ridiculous.

[T3chno]

*That's how it fucking works when someone dies*.

I'm highly skeptical.

Have you now heard of Warren G. Harding in the Teapot Dome Scandal? Jeez, that guy was let off the hook.

[Aphex]

not with hitler...


anyway, I respect that Michael Jackson was a musical legend, but im scared of our celebrity culture and how everyone is blowing it out of propotion, as laurie pixon highlighted:

50,000 Africans died today ;_;

Those 50,000 Africans didn't do a damn thing. We lost the one that did.

[otters~1]

Oh, are we not capitalizing his name now?

Anyway, everything that needs to be said has been said, most especially by Dave at the top of the thread. I will say that it'll be a different feeling now every time I come across an MJ song on my iPod.

:(

[ninja143]

[bobaganuesh_2]

I wont miss him.

don't worry, you young people (Tunco and Mae as well) will learn to love him and appreciate music.

in pace requiscat, Michael.

I received a text reading, "Because MJ was 95% plastic, he will be melted into lego blocks so little kids can play with him for a change." I cringed but laughed. Anyway, I heard on the radio that has a bunch of Jackson memorabilia which included a bunch of unpublished music. That would be interesting to hear.

Lots of fake MJ jokes goin' around. Another popular one claims that MJ died from eating 12 year old nuts.


I hope you people get that one. :/
