Yeah I like that music video.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

One the one hand, I'm rarely glad when people die. He may have been.... strange.... but he was still a person, and 50 is too damn young to die.

On the other, I have to say a big part of me s just relieved that the freakshow is over. Who knows, maybe his kids will even get to grow up in something resembling a normal life now. Okay probably not, but one can hope.

Doubtful. For the two who have the same mother, she legally relinquished all parental rights some time ago, so those kids are now wards of the Jackson estate. I somehow doubt that being raised by Auntie LaToya will help provide a stabilizing influence.

Agreed. I'm sorry he's dead, but it's the same sort of sorry as if a friend's former roomate's cousin died. Sucks for his family, but beyond that, see the gif above.

Agreed with that. The shame is that a 50-year-old man died, not that "Michael Jacksontm" died.

I was amazed to heard Alex Rodriguez died, but then I realized they said the King of Pop passed away, not the King of Pop-Ups. :lol:

you know what, it may be young, but when you do what he did, it's not that unexpected, potassium/sodium deficiencies from years of anorexia, narcotics abuse, the strain from all those surgery, then the pain killer from the doctor that put it over the top.

And, I don't care how much of an impact he had on music, when the last 10+ years of his life were plagued with molestation charges, he is no longer a good man in my book.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

More distasteful jokes, not as funny as the first batch, but still good.
I wanted to come to the halloween party dressed as Michael Jackson but I couldn't afford the casket

Michael Jackson hasn't been this stiff since McCauley Culkin came to stay over for the weekend.

Michael Jackson was flying back to Neverland with a group of Asian boys in a small jet when the pilot put the plane on autopilot and called Michael aside; "Pssst. We're going down! We've got to jump and there are only 2 parachutes." he feverishly whispered. "But what about the children?" Michael whimpered. "FUCK the children." hissed the terrified pilot. "Is there time?" Michael pondered.

Micheal Jackson died today, leaving his son's behind.

All the jockeys are wearing black armbands to honor Michael Jackson, who rode more three year olds than all of them put together.

Apparently CPR isn't as easy as A.B.C.


Michael Jackson, a black man, a white man and a pedophile walk into a bar.

He orders a drink.


Michael Jackson's dying wish was to be recycled as a pack of diapers.

Q: What do Michael Jackson and Santa Claus have in common?
A: They both empty their sack for children.

What's the difference between Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett?
Kids pinned Farrah to the wall.

Having tried being both black and white, Michael Jackson is now trying grey.

Michael Jackson wants his ashes dumped into a batch of cornflakes so he can pass through the arse of hundreds of children on last time
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

So in your book you are guilty even when you are proven innocent? They say that there's no smoke where there's no fire, but, he was an extremely easy target. I'm not sure it wasn't just people trying to make money off of him. Anyone can be accused of such things, I sincerely hope that nobody ever accuses you of something like that, how would you defend your self against it?

I'm of Graham's mind. I'm sad he died... but it's almost a relief, considering what his life's been like.

Huge influence on music. They've been playing his videos on VH1 Classic all weekend. And I gotta tell you, he was amazingly talented.
