DamnYankees: zabadu: There is a HUGE difference between someone being assassinated and the shock and grief that come from that and a pedophilic bleached musician that basically took his own life with no consideration for anyone other than himself. HUGE difference.

Is it really your job to judge who people care about? Michael Jackson affected a lot of people. He was the biggest star in the world with the greatest selling album of all time. He affected lots of people. I don't see why you see fit to judge anyone for caring about his death.


It is everyone's job to promote the truth. The truth is Michael Jackson was a pedophile, a man unworthy of the adoration currently being given to his musical legacy. By worshiping the musical legacy of Michael Jackson, you are giving credence to the current musical creation and distribution model responsible for the same seven songs being played over and over again on the radio, million dollar judgments for downloading 20 songs, and the the immediate destruction and discounting of anything even remotely resembling stylistic revolution within aural art.

I judge him for having horrible taste in music and even worse ability to assess character.

/He affected lots of people. By groping their genitals.

DamnYankees: WeenerGord: Obviously the victims were beside the point and not important TO YOU.

I try to extend sympathy and compassion for everyone. I'm somewhat amazed people think "have compassion" is a radical or weird statement.


It is when it is begged for as a coverup for crimes. shiat, MJ himself may have had more conscience than you. Maybe he couldn't sleep cos of the guilt. Maybe he kevorked himself to obtain the just punishment denied him by the courts.

DamnYankees: Excen: MICHAEL JACKSON WAS A PEDOPHILE



So? Can you explain to me what is gained by hating him after his death?


um, the general gushing of we've always loved him BS over remembering what he represented and the general worshipping of celebutards for number of records sold and new dance moves means the general public who forget what he was must be tards as well.

It's like this Billy if you want to have license to do whatever you want; get a good publicist, a toe tapping riff, some odd dance moves and you too can fark little boys, bleach your skin, cut off your nose to spite your ethnicity and when you die everyone will forget the weird stuff no one will care that you contributed to adding sick and twisted discussions and news stories to the world you raped financially.

I for one want my kids to be a better citizen than he was and not think fame is enviable. Also, David Carridine dying while whacking is not cool like Farkers say it's just twisted and stupid.

Let me stop you there. Michael Jackson didn't invent anything regarding dance. He stole the style of dance from James Brown and the moonwalk itself has been around since the 1950s. Check out the Wikipedia article. (click-pop)

Oh, and the whole David Carradine thing is just funny.

It's dying down for now.

But will surely make a comeback at the funeral.

Actually, Billie Jean is the one song I have yet to hear since his death.

What is this "radio" that you speak of?

zabadu: TXEric: Wow, this has turned into quite the pissing match!

I give him his props for his musical and dancing prowess; I remember vividly when Elvis took his Final Dump (I was 21, and thought my Mom was going to faint when Brokaw came on the news with, "The King is dead!"), and this situation is very similar.

I think he was weird, and have no idea what the truth is as far has his diddling little boys. I know that I wouldn't let my son sleep over at Neverland, for any reason.

That being said, I agree with the poster who mentioned Stevie Ray Vaughan.

/RIP, SRV.

Having lived thru Elvis' death, I can tell you that there was no "wall to wall" coverage back then, thank God.


Not sure what you mean by "living thru" Elvis' death (I was 21, and had been a working musician for several years at the time), but just to clarify - there was no internet, CNN, even cable, so Tom Brokaw leading off NBC Nightly News, followed by front-page coverage the next day in ALL the papers, certainly puts it on the same footing.

/Just sayin'

If DamnYankees ever passes the bar, bet you he'll be doing some Pro-Bone-O work for NAMBLA.

That's exactly what I meant. If you wanted all the Elvis news you could stomach, you had to go to Graceland and stand outside. Those of us who didn't really care didn't have to listen to it. Plus, it wasn't considered "news" back then to report on ever bit of minutia.

//my lawn...not as old as yours, but get off anyway!!

Freakjob_0: What about Billy Mays???

beating a dead hood?

 
ciararavenblaze 2009-07-03 07:43:36 PM  
I think a week was enough in the MJ coverage and that now it's time to focus on the other important things--like, other people who passed away and the problems in Iran.

I say this, while still listening to his music in a limited playlist on Winamp and soaking up EVERY bit of NEW news that I see about him while ignoring all the rest.

/it really should be in smaller headlines everywhere by now, at least...

100% are thankful that no more little boys see or suck on this freakshow's penis.

zabadu: If someone accused you of diddling their child, would you pay them off or go down fighting for your innocence? It was worth $20mil to Jackson to shut them down. Innocent people don't do that.

you know who else doesn't do that?

yeah--parents of children who were ACTUALLY abused. they don't settle for money without a trial, if not a public castration, if possible. unless they're greedy and don't care about their kids.

We're Americans,
celebrity worship in our country borders on religious zealotry.
Our media feeds us, and we lap it up.

We really, REALLY need Capt. Trips.
And worse, we deserve it.
