Huh. Michael Jackson died too?

WTF? Apparently a bad day to be a celebrity. Michael Jackson supposedly  died just now.

Just heard a good one a the gym...

When Farrah Faucet got to heaven, God granted her one wish since her time was spent doing good things here on Earth.  She said, "I just want all the children to be safe".

You can fill in the punchline.

Gawd at least get the spelling right (Surname FAWCETT) if you're gonna be rude and attribute nasty sayings to another recently passed over spirit.  Do you really think Farrah would say such a thing?  A) I don't think so and B) get the spelling right!  It really undermines your point (do you have one?) when you get the fundamentals wrong. 

For another matter, I really don't like your tone and your name says it all "YouCan'tSeeMe" - from what I'm hearing I'm glad as I really don't want to.  You only seem interested in pushing a barrow.  There are people on this forum who knew Michael and knew/know people who worked with him.  Did you?  Do you have first hand experience?  Or are you another armchair critic. 

I'm not going to participate in this thread from here on in, as it is going down a nasty and sordid track which it doesn't need to.  Perhaps you'd like to also make note of all the prescription and other drugs Elvis Presley was dropping, how about John Lennon, Adam Ant, or let's beat up on homosexual artists too (Elton John, Boy George).  If you're going to bag one, you might as well bag the lot and also stop listening to music in case you hear something you like from these artists you deplore without evidence - pshaw.  You talk out a hole in your head (or somewhere else ....).

See, now this is why I only listen to the voices in my head.  Listening to evil pagan music leads to turmoil.

I really don't find these stupid jokes people are making about the recently deceased funny.

It's one thing to have your opinion on the accusations made against MJ in his life time, and it's another thing to be completely tasteless.

Grow the **** up.

It's best if we just don't feed the troll.

Okay, I admit, the joke was tastless.  It wasn't mine and I do agree that reapeating it makes me just as guilty.  I do appologize if I've hurt anyone's feelings (by the joke).

As far as you accusing me of having hate against homosexuals, and drug addicts and even Elvis Presley, well that's just being a bit hypocritical. 

I'll say it one more time.  I (the troll) have a problem with people (adults) who sleep (in the same bed) with other people's children.  People who posses books that contain images of nude children! If I'm not describing MJ, then I appologize...one again.   

Grow the **** up?  Oh, swearing at me makes me think of you as such a mature adult. 

I thought the joke was quite funny.  Now before you judge me, do a little research on "gallows humour".

Well thank you splitrail but I can't take credit for using gallows homour since the loss of MJ really hasn't had an emotional impact on me.  To be honest, the loss of MJ only changes one thing and that is because they replaced all the regular programing on mtv with the tributes.  I wanted to watch Room Raiders 2.0 today dang it.  I am not a person who gets emotionally distraught over someone I've never known's death.

For those of you too darn stubborn to look it up, you're in luck since I've done it for you:

Gallows humor is a type of humor that arises from stressful, traumatic, or life-threatening situations; often in circumstances such that death is perceived as impending and unavoidable. It is similar to black comedy but differs in that it is made by the person affected.

Gosh I hope I spelled everything correctly.  I wouldn't want to be reported to the spelling police. (fawcett)

Oh, and while I'm at it luckylocket1966, there is a perfectly good reason that ucantseeme is my username and it's not because I'm trying to hide from anyone...especially not you!  The fact of the matter is that my nickname is Ghost.  Ghost was taken as a username.  So that's what I came up with as a replacement.  When I was 8 years old, I fell through a frozen pond.  I was dead for over 4 1/2 minutes.  My nickname became Ghost.  What exactly does luckylocket1966 signify?  Who are you hiding from?  One more thing...it's ucantseeme (while we're correcting people's spelling).

I was making molestion jokes on Facebook the second I heard about it. I'm so heartless! :D

you beotch!  :)

sad how petty people are. if you dont want to acknowledge how great an ARTIST he is and express comisserations, why bother posting. go create a hate michael jackson thread. this wasnt meant to be one. 

Hmm, by the title of this thread (Huh. Michael Jackson died too?) I wouldn't determine it to be a MJ Fanclub thread either...just saying.

We're all entitled to our opinions...like it or not. 

Yup, "and if the glove to fit..."

muahah and again - totally agree with you ucantseeme

well darn it all to heck - i've figured out my problem! *cranks up the evil pagan music and dances around the room whilst casting a spell against all the conservative religious zealots* muahah

There was a kid I'm friends with on FB writing a bunch of tasteless jokes about the whole MJ situation. It didn't get me mad because it was extremely obvious that he was just doing it to get a rise out of people.

It's funny that people who thinks so poorly of MJ dedicated so many of their statuses to him...what a bunch of losers.

Anyone noticed....?   MJ was severely underweight (112lbs and 5'10"), was apparently bald, bruised, obviously suffered a lot with body image issues and seems to have died of sudden heart failure ..... whatever else the poor man struggled with, looks probable that we can add 'eating disorder' to the list.  He's been pretty frail for years - hardly the picture of health -  so I'm surprised how many are expressing shock that he didn't make it to 51.

Conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day...

what didn't MJ have issues with..?

i thought it was funny.

i was a teenager in the 80s.  i can appreciate MJ's musical talent.  but i think he's better off dead, and we're better off without him.  i'm sick of the tributes, and i'm annoyed that his death has so overshadowed farrah's (besides being a teenager in the 80s, i was a pre-teen in the 70s.  i wanted to be sabrina duncan, but i loved jill monroe, too).

Yeah but they also said he did in fact have skin cancer. So that could also be the reasonf or his underweight and hair loss issues. I have a feeling a combo of cancer+drugs+and not eating because of drugs or a disorder is exactly what killed him.

Well luckily that was a false autopsy report so... :)

I have to say that I was never really a fan of Michael Jackson. Not that I disliked him, but I just never listened to his music regularly. I did however always believe he never touched those kids. I believe some people are sick and will do anything to gain money from a man like that. I've been incredibly somber for the past few days over his death, and he wasn't even a part of my life. I'm not sure why, either, but I feel just incredibly sad. It was too soon. He didn't deserve this. 

I also feel guilty I was never able to become a fan before his death. I don't know. I miss him for some reason. RIP.
