Some wag on the radio this morning said that since he's 90% plastic now, they are going to melt him down and make him into Legos.

That way kids can play with him for a change.

I don't make 'em up, I just report 'em.....

Michael Jackson was an incredibly talented musician. Farrah Fawcett was apparently hot at some point. The end. I'm truly sorry for their families (especially Jackson's kids, who are reportedly left with $400,000,000 in debt, and no mommy)

But with Obama's Cap & Tax mafia-style protection racket bill being rammed through right now, which will likely increase the cost of everything you buy, including your electricity, do we really need the 24-7 hero worship? Somebody please wake me when it's over so I can turn the "news" back on.

/rant.

Is it soon enough to start the jokes?

What do the Atlanta Braves and Micheal Jackson have in common?

They both wear a glove on one hand..

for no apparent reason.

I'm not trying to be cold, just adding levity to a sad event; I saw the Jackson 5 back in the early 70s. The first time I saw him do the "moon walk" to Billy Jean, I almost fell over!

Dayam that boy could dance.

I heard on CNN Wolf E36 M3zer said """ The Michael Jackson neighborhood smells like farts from the collective unclenching sphinctours of young boys in the area ""

When Farrah Fawcett went to heaven, God granted her one wish. She wished for all the children to be safe. So God killed Michael.

+1...

Does anyone remember when Princess Diana died, at least one TV anchor asked rhetorically if there would be such widespread reaction if, say, Mother Teresa died?

And a couple days later...

Does this mean that now MJ will be seen on velvet playing cards with Elvis, James Dean, Bogart and M. Monroe?

My wife says she saw somewhere that his personal doctor killed him by accident. Overdose caused the heart attack, otherwise he was a healthy 50 year old man-boy.

Never allow yourself to become the personal physician to berkeleyed up "celebrities" or rich asshats no mater what they offer you. That is what I tell ALL my doctor friends.

It was a misunderstanding. He's not dead. He was found in the childrens ward having a stroke.

I am sort of wondering whether it'll be an open or closed casket. Seriously. Can you imagine being the guy charged with "making him look natural."

Will there be a "Please don't poke the nose" sign in front of the casket?

agreed, the 24/7 coverage gets old, but no one else was able in the history of popular music to achieve what he did

its unfortunate he stopped churning out #1s back in '01, but his stuff on thriller and after is awesome (and I am not generally a pop fan)

he was the LAST superstar...ipods, MP3s and limewire have changed the industry and no one will EVER be as big...not for lack of talent of more recent artistis, but the music consumers just dont care anymore.

The kid jokes are lame, get over it , the haters are tards...both families who accused him were also accusers of others that came up false...greed makes people into scum. He was weird, but you would be too if you lived his life. You dont have to respect his personality (I kinda dont), but if you dont respect his work, youre deaf, blind, and more than mildly retarded
