Anything that will make them a buck.

I wonder how much "programming" news sites do based on time of day, similar to what you see on TV commercials. This type of story sounds perfect for the weekday afternoon soap opera crowd. Be interesting to see if this story has such a high spot on their main page at 8:00 tonight.

"I'm getting a message from someone with an "M", like a Michael or a Mark. It's definitely a male presence. Oh wait, not definitely male, there's something different. I'm really confused on this one. He keeps motioning to his nose, something about the nose..."

Did any of these psychics predict his death?

...wait. He's removing one glove. The glove contains another nose. The magical glove turned him white. Well not quite white. Why are all of these little boys crying?

Sure they shouldn't be asking psychiatrics? That Joe Jackson probably did a number on a few lives.

Dear MSM,

Please stop with the Michael Jackson saturation programming. I'm having to watch BBC America for my news now.

Smooches,

AzDownboy

P.S. Bill O'Reily ranting about the Michael Jackson coverage is no better either.

 
MaxxLarge [TotalFark] 2009-07-10 04:43:41 PM  
So far we've heard from family, friends, associates, collaborators, doctors, lawyers, pundits, pop-culture douches, random assholes on the street, and...yep, psychics. I wonder if anyone's tried to get an interview with his garbageman? Sadly, I'm going to guess that someone has. Probably SEVERAL someones.

I always love it when the media reports on media over-saturation of a given event. That's just the laziest B.S. ever. Report what happens, don't make crap happen, then report on your reporting. Easier than actual research, I guess.

News should NEVER be a Möbius strip, fer chrissakes.

Reverse psychics?

I must inquire about entering this field of work.

Serious question: Why are people who believe in psychics allowed to vote? I was under the impression we were a Christian Nation.

THIS. THANK YOU.

/I always went to the BBC for my actual news coverage, anyway. I didn't believe Michael Jackson was dead until they confirmed it.

Sweet buggering jeezus. I remember catching the "first part" of that episode. x_x I wanted to catch the finale where she goes ape over the money envelope, but missed it.

/I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.
//she haunts my dreams

Somebody let me know what Harry Keogh has to say about all of this, please?

ask Nancy Reagan. she could probably tell you.

I'm still upset. I had Gary Glitter in my pedophile freak celebrity death pool.

What I find hilarious is that they have an iReport further down the mainpage that urges people to stop obsessing over Jackson.

self awareness, you has none.

Can't wait to see the articles CNN runs in 2029, we'll get to hear about potential MJ reincarnates every day!

Black people are rarely a part of physics. Well, there's one physics major in my university, but I think he's focusing on optics or something stupid.

Polka-dot Cadaver to the rescue!

Do you remember on that day?
We took you down off of the cross
And shot your ashes into space
Oh what a waste of time to believe
You would ever come to life
The resurrections were all faked as
The earth trembled and quaked
And all the stars fell from the sky
As the pagans began to smile and sing

 
IonBeam2 2009-07-10 05:40:23 PM  
Oh, and "noted numerologist" != physicist.

 
The Rest Are Bait [TotalFark] 2009-07-10 05:41:49 PM  
On my way to work I pass a multifamily home where a couple weeks ago a nice hand painted sign appeared offering Psychic readings for $5. It also states that the rate is a special rate.

 
tinyarena 2009-07-10 05:44:29 PM  
When Glynis McCants looks at Michael Jackson's life, she sees the number five. Jackson's talent was discovered when he was 5 years old, he came to fame as a member of the Jackson 5 and he planned a series of 50 concert dates in London, England, as part of a comeback tour before he died on June 25 at the age of 50.
"Five is the number for drama, and it was in his life his whole life."


And he had five fingers on EACh hand. And FIVE toes on each FOOT.
Makes ya'think

 
jynxyu 2009-07-10 05:45:24 PM  
In the town of Casadega, FL, about 80% of the houses have signs saying "Medium". Ours had a sign that read "Large".

I see 5 family members going for cash
5 attorneys turning 5 lawsuits
5 children coming forward to submit claims
5 times the record sales since MJ is at room tempature
25 dollar entrance fee to Neverland
5 floors in the shrine to the 50 year old
5 fingers, 5 toes, 5 rings
5 surgeries on his nose - still investigating
I also see lots of fives - please pay at door number 5

I don't care about the media hoopla surrounding the death of yet another performer, so here's some cute bunnies and violence. (new window)

I'm sorry, but the MSM hit my 'frkkit valve' on Michael Jackson about an hour before the body got cold. Time for a new topic. Like "are microbes having sex in your drinking water? Next on Sick Sad World!"

 
Tony Baloney 2009-07-10 06:04:36 PM  
"...they believe that if they can touch it -- or have him touch them -- then maybe some of it would rub off."

GREATEST. FREUDIAN. SLIP. EVER.

Careful now. There's no proof that psychic powers exist, but there's also no proof they don't exist. Both sides are claiming knowledge they cannot have, so both positions are based on faith.

In fact, a-psychicism is becoming a bit of a religion.

/It was so hard to get through that with a straight face

That even hurt to read.
