Michael Jackson August 29th 1958 - June 25th 2009
 
edit: Youtube didn't allow me to upload the original video of Thriller

He will be sadly missed; he touched so many young people.

 
Was that another one of your 'puns'?!

Not at all....tragic time etc etc....BTW the reports about jackson having a cardiac arrest are incorrect. He actually went to visit the childrens hospital and had a stroke

Enough! Show some damn remorse and respect. I promise no "dingo ate 'em" comments when Crocodile Dundee dies.
 
He was a great entertainer, helped define a generation, bridged racial divides and brought us "We are the World".

BAD FORM.

A profoundly sad day. An electrifying artistic talent. And, in my opinion, a beautiful person ,deeply misunderstood and savagely demonised by the media .RIP.

Did Michael Jackson die from an allergic reaction to eating 12yr old nuts?

MJ's Family have consented and given Michael's body away to Lego...He will be melted down so that little boys all over the world can continue to play with him.

I heard McDonalds is making a burger in commemoration of Michael Jackson death. It'll be called the McJackson burger, and is one 50 year old piece of meat in between 2 8 year old buns.

Michael Jackson's family have decided to donate all his organs to kids
 
Apparently he loved being inside kids!

At the autopsy they found children’s underwear strapped to his upper arm. According to his doctors it is just a patch, he’s been trying to quit for a while.

Cold, pazuzu, so heartlessly cold.

 
Now see what you started . I think Pediphiles are F@cking little @ssholes too, But thats no reason not to have alittle compassion.

STOP.......STOP my side hurt.
 

I have always found it amazing that charges, any charges, against entertainers seem to go without notice or are completely accepted by the public. With very few exceptions the general public will even go to the extreme to explain and “understand” the “problem”.
 
Should the same thing happen to an ordinary person he or she would probably have their house burned to the ground or in the best case scenario just harassed 24 hours a day by “good” and “righteous” and “honorable” people carrying pickets telling the world how dangerous they are. This would happen prior to any trial or even if the person was totally innocent.
 
Punishment, not discipline, seems to be in direct proportion to how much money they have. If the common person can't come up with $20 million, to settle out of court, then that poor person will just have to try to stay alive in jail.
 
 
 
Double standard? Nawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww !!!

He went to trial and was found not guilty. Where is the double standard? Actually , there is a double standard in that mothers in law ,aunts, grandmothers and mothers in general can smother themselves all over their own children or anybodies children..kiss them hug them etc and get away with it. Try doing that if you're a man. I believe that Jackson was fond of children in a non sexual way..just like a granny would be. For this , he was condemned as a pedophile.

Ok MJ fans....as you three are high among the ones whos veiws I respect on this site, I'll apologize...Grev, you be right about his sexuality but that doesn't explain the "suspended baby" incident on that balcony.
 
As an aside, Ive seen nothing on Farrah...why is that....was the whole anal cancer thing just tooooooooo gross to contemplate ?

Agree. CNN has devoted OVER 24 hours of nearly NON STOP jackson stuff. Farah is only an occasional moving footnote at the bottom of the screen.
 
Grev. what I was trying to say is that innocent or guilty a non entertainer will suffer far more public by the lovable public as opposed to someone that is "respected" by millions of adoring fans.
 
As for the trial? wasn't the 20 million paid to keep it out of court? I do remember him going to court and then nothing happened. I don't remember any jury being seated or a verdict mentioned.
 
His music is not my style, I honestly can't think of a single title that was his and wouldn't know one when it was played, but, I must admit it did make great strides and influenced many people.
