Here's one I just heard."When Farrah Fawcett arrived at heaven, God granted her one wish. She wished for all the children to be safe. So God killed Michael Jackson."
Ba-da-boom.
Not trying to be enlightening... just giving my opinion, same as everyone else.
I read it here first. Which is more than a little disconcerting.
Watching his music videos on youtube. Weird childhood flashbacks. For years I've remembered a sequence from Thriller as a bad dream. How strange to see it and realize it was an actual memory!
1,500 plus CPDRC inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, Cebu, Philippines at practice! This is not the final routine, and definitely not a punishment! just a teaser. I ♥ the man in drag. :) I hope Michael Jackson's demons can rest now. Bless his heart.
I agreed with a friend's rant about the media frenzy over this. She basically said she's "disgusted at this media Michael Jackson frenzy. It's easier to canonize a dead man than to grant a live one the benefit of the doubt, isn't it?"
My kids said "who is Michael Jackson?"I'm old.
He turned into quite a wackadoodle, but in the 80's he was my idol! I found my love of dance through Michael and I thank him for that.
Cosmic Sher, thanks for the joke. Now I can head Zu off at the pass. She loves to tell horribly distasteful jokes about dead celebrities. She has a thousand about Diana.
Am I the only person who's a bit put off by how quickly a revisionist history of Michael Jackson's already been written? I will heartily grant the man's unique gift to music, but I find it very hard to separate his genius from the fact that he was one seriously fucked-up individual who incredulously couldn't seem to comprehend just how inappropriate his behaviour towards other children quite possibly could be. I mean, a 40-year-old man sharing a bed with a child who isn't his own child?
I'm reading a lot of justifications for his behaviour in his personal life, and, frankly, I'm pretty bothered by it. For example, I love Miles Davis; truly, the man was a gifted musical genius who changed the landscape of American music in his time, but, frankly, the man in his personal life was an abusive wife-beater, a junky, a terrible, often neglectful father who left precious little to his children, and generally acted like a cunt to his peers. Again, I love his music to this day, but I can't separate the talent from the person. And no one should do that to anyone.

Gus, I just posted something similar in True North, this massive switch from super-freak, to someone whose death slowed down the worldwide internet with an outpouring of eulogies portraying him as a godly icon.
The librarians in France have lost their minds. Or, at least one of them has...http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php...
A couple things I learned on this thread, both Tonight Show related, oddly enough:Ed McMahon died????
Andy Richter is back w/Conan?
I can see we're going to learn far more about Michael Jackson's private life than we ever wanted to know...

I knew someone who donated her eggs waaaay back in the day. She got a HUGE sum of money for them. But she was a real PIA while she was taking the hormones required for it.

I was totally gonna sell mine (since I'm not gonna be using them, why not?), but I'm too old now. They want young woman eggs w/very little chance of genetic abnormalities. *drat*
