Anyone hear about Michael Jackson yet?

[Dewgong]

i don't know how many chain mails and text messages i've gotten about this.

and yeah, now micheal jackson jokes are just going to make everyone sad instead of laugh.

 

[Tigerclaw]

I liked "Beat it". That's an awesome song.

 

[Jack_the_White]

God bless the old michael jackson, not the peter pan wannabe one, but he had some good songs back in the day, one of the Kings of music are now dead.

 

[RandyPanda]

Well, now I feel lousy about all those lame pedobear jokes I've pulled over the years about him. I feel bad for the guy... he lived a tough life.

It was interesting yesterday, since this entire week I've been cut off from T.V and internet, some of my friends began getting texts saying that Michael Jackson was either in a coma, or already dead. I think by that point he had been pronounced dead.

Then today on the ride home we heard so many Michael Jackson songs, we began to get sick of it (Though I could've listened to Beat It over and over again). It stinks that he died, he had some really good music. His personal life went from sane to what the hell is wrong with this guy, but his music remains good.

RIP Michael Jackson.

Oh, and something lesser known is that Farrah Fawcett died the same day as Michael Jackson.

This strikes me a funny. Don't get me wrong, somebody dying is bad and a time for somber remembrance, but the fact that her death was COMPLETLY over shdowed by Jacksons is..
Well..
It's hilariouse to me.
We have the newpaper in our house right now and a giant picture of Michael Jackson is on the front. A GIANT picture.
Then off in the corner is a small picture of Farrah. Barely noticable. Her story is only five paragraphs long, not even half a page.
This is the kinda thing that makes me laugh, but feel a bit confused and dissapointed inside. :3

I dont even know who the heck farah fawcett is, but I've heard the name before.

 

[OrangeAipom]

Ed McMahon did too, and I don't know who he is.

I dont even know who the heck farah fawcett is, but I've heard the name before.

I heard she was this old lady with cancer that used to be in toothpaste comercials.

no seriously fuck off

She's one of the most famous pin-up models ever.

Ed McMahon did too, and I don't know who he is.

Nice old man who donated a ton of money to charities for no readily apparent reason other than bein' cool iirc

farrah fawcett was an actress and sex symbol in the 70s. a poster bearing her body was among one of the best-selling posters around the country back then.

ed mcmahon was the announcer for the tonight show with johnny carson. he also hosted star search in the 80s and early 90s, i think. in recent years, he had a lot of financial troubles and had to sell his home. i think he was still fumbling through all of that at the time of his death.

SKY SAXON WHY DOES NOBODY CARE ABOUT HIM

HE DIED ON THE SAME DAY TOOOOO

 

[Tigerclaw]

I dont think she was that old, and Ive never seen her in a toothpaste commercial. I thought colgate was still pining their hopes on dr rabbit XD

 

[Dinru]

There are people who think Michael Jackson didn't die and that it's a conspiracy or something. It's like Elvis all over again.

I must be the only person who seriously does not care about celebrity deaths. Crossposted from Facebook:

It's not that I don't care about death overall. I just don't see how celebrities that have not made any important impact on my life at all should matter to me. If a family member or a close friend died, I would care. However, Michael Jackson or Billy Mays is no more important to me than any of the anonymous everymen and everywomen who die every day from a variety of causes.

At the risk of sounding like a sad misanthropic bastard, of course.

I never heard of him, sorry.

Well, this is all sad. All these deaths. But we are getting closer to know the causes:

Jackson's may have been drug related
Fawcett's was caused by her cancer
Mays was probably because he was on that hard landing plane, so an accident

This.

I guess it's sad, but I'm not getting choked up over these celebrity deaths. I didn't know these people, and I wasn't a huge fan of them. It's sad that they died, but... yeah.

sky saxon was a 60s singer and he was cool.

Hey I'll admit that this does not affect me nearly as much as a close friend would. But hey, empathy (I do have empathy for all of the everypeople mentioned too). Is just that celebrities don't die often, and often they've made some sort of impact on many people's lives, from being the king of their favorite genre of music to making life a little easier with the help of Oxy Clean.
