I'm not sad. He had a strange life and a strange death. He produced some great music and some huge scandals. It is what it is.

My favorite song is "Smooth Criminal."

And DID YOU KNOW that Jeff Goldblum is not only alive and well, but dating Alex from Lost, who is his co-star in some film? Stud.

I have a feeling the weirdest shit about Jacko is yet to be revealed.

Goldblum? 57. Raymonde? 19.

Upsetting. Even more upsetting is that Tania's supposed to be with me, dammit.

News of Jackson's death spread quickly online, causing many websites to experience technical difficulties following the unanticipated swell of users. Google announced technical difficulties after a sudden increase in searches for "Michael Jackson" led the company to believe it was under attack from hackers, while social networking site Twitter reported a crash after record numbers of users used the site to spread the news of Jackson's death. Wikipedia also experienced technical difficulties, and crashed at 3:15 PDT, reportedly due to excessive edits and user overload.

Wow... he should have thought of this dying business earlier. Sure beats 50 concerts as a moneymaking scheme.

Goldblum? 57. Raymonde? 19.

She's 21, though, isn't she?

[Dead & Messed Up]

She's 21, though, isn't she?

:lol:

Math? 1. Me? 0.

Oh, well then, that makes it fine. You know what they say: old enough to drink, old enough to date a man who peaked nine years before you were born.

My wife actually believes that he's faking his death so he can shock mourners at his vigil with a surprise performance of Thriller. It'll be so shocking that he will then no longer be known as Michael Jackson, the molester. He will be Michael Jackson, the guy who orchestrated THE COOLEST CONCERT EVER.

He's trying to outdo Jesus.

I wouldn't put it past the man.

I liked Roger Ebert's article on Jackson.

As usual, The Onion is absolutely brilliant.

LOS ANGELES—Michael Jackson, a talented child performer known for his love of amusement park rides and his hobby of collecting exotic animals for his Neverland Ranch, died from sudden cardiac arrest Thursday at the age of 12. The prepubescent singer, who enjoyed playing dress-up and often referred to himself as "the King of Pop," was celebrated for his naïve exuberance and his generosity toward other children. "This is a terrible loss for music and for all of us," brother Jermaine Jackson said. "He had so much potential to blossom into a gracious and mature human being. As it is, the world will never know the genius Michael Jackson might have become had he grown up." The singer leaves behind a large body of hits, 25,000 unopened toys, and nearly $400 million of debt.

Hahaha.

I could foresee a South Park episode about the fickle nature of people's attitude towards MJ.

[Mysterious Dude]

I am more partial to the Michael Jackson of the Jackson Five, as opposed to his solo years.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Wow. I read this not long after seeing him in an ESPN360.com commercial. That's unexpected. R.I.P.

[megladon8]

Wow, this has been a really shitty week.

[Ezee E]

Damn that rule of fours. DAMN IT TO HELL!

[soitgoes...]

That sucks for his family and for him of course, but on a completely selfish note, I will be so happy if I never hear his voice screaming at me through my TV set.

This guy probably feels really guilty (click the "in reply to" for context).
