Michael Jackson Dies

[Statler]

If that's your cup of tea, then indeed you are correct who am i to say anything. 

not like that at all.

input all you'd like.

please.

He was a very popular and very controversial figure, so there will be lots of sadness from those who liked him and lots of indifference or even joy from those who thought he was deserving of severe punishment.   I have no issues with either opinion.

I just personally don't get the idea of showing respect for someone simply because they have passed.   If there is some historical social reason for that norm, I'm quite open to reconsider my thoughts on the matter.

Jackson has died. To commemorate his musical achievments, McDonalds have released the McJackson Burger. It's a 50 year old piece of aged albino meat shoved between two 8 year old buns.

Michael Jackson died last night from food poisoning. Apparently he ate some 12 year old nuts.

The reports about Michael Jackson having a cardiac arrest are incorrect. He actually went to visit the childrens ward and had a stroke.

I was watching MSNBC and it's strange. They're turning him into a civil rights figure.

Brimo - do you write for Leno? 

[Rameses]

Why not some respect for the recently deceased.

Why not?

I'll tell you why not...

...because I'm convinced that the dude was a make the beast with two backsing child molester.

Just because he made catchy music and is now dead doesn't mean I'm going to forget the fact that he likely scarred some kids for life.

I'm back, had to see what was said.

Well said Statler. My opinion of him has been not good since feeding kids "jesus juice." I am not saddened by his passing. I still have some of his music on my ipod and always will; he was a great artist.

I feel the same way, Rameses. You coming back to GP this year?

I think I heard he sold 750 million records, and CDs in his musical career.

That is a record that will stand and now likely grow even larger.

I feel bad for his children , his fans and his family.

I liked some of his songs. I was never a " Fan ." I did like " Smooth Criminal ."

I will not grieve for him but I'm not glad he died.

RIP Michael                     Dolph

I'd say I'm about 97% probable to make it.

he's still behind the beatles and elvis (for now), not anything to complain about by any means.

as an aside, at the time of his death he still owned half the beatles catalog (he sold the other half to sony in '95 when their publishing businesses merged). jackson has supposedly left his half to paul in his will.

He has the record for all time single record sales though, right?  (thriller)
