:(

omg ! ! that sucks
my friends keep calling me about it
-
That's kind of sad, since I really enjoyed Micheal Jackson, before the '90s...
And to top it off, Farrah Fawcett died this morning, from cancer.
-
Crazy, legends are dropping left and right.
-
Oh wow
Yeah it's crazy
-
Isn't Death Note old now? I suggest Kira should stop it.
-
Crazy, legends are dropping left and right.
Social Security is becoming less of an issue.
-
First Farrah Fawcett then Micheal Jackson
Sad times form the Music (MJ) and Acting (Farrah)
-
He truly was the King of Pop, the world is missing a beat now.

Yeah, I just found out from a radio broadcast while at the AMPM near my house. I don't remember the station, but they're honoring him by playing his music. I listened to "Thriller" while I was there.
On a side note, now I know that my decision was a good one. I'm planning on doing a dance at Kumoricon's cosplay contest, and I'm using one of MJ's songs. (Wasn't sure if I was gonna include it or not until yesterday, weird huh?).
On another side note, you know how celebrities tend to have their deaths in groups of three's? I wonder who #3 is gonna be?
-
MJ was number three, the first was Ed McMahon, who died on the 23rd.
-
O ya I forgot about Ed McMahon
I hope Donny Osmond's name is next in the death note! (not really I never would wish death on someone)
-

Oh, I didn't even know.
-
Poor Micheal, I miss him already. =(
Music isn't going to be much of a Thriller anymore..
-
i know its bad of me but my first though was "well when the zombies rise they realy will be dancing "thriller"
-
That is an amazing point.
Now since the Zombies have nothing to dance about they will eat human flesh
-
Props to Micheal, especially his earlier years.
I don't really think that there are any other music icons this big left, is there? Other than Ringo and Paul, but John and George are already gone too :'(
Sad.
-
Hey, hey, maybe his kids got the amazing musician/genius genes, and maybe they'll have coolio dances and memorable songs..? 8D

I was doing a little reading. This quote really humanizes him:
"Why not just tell people I'm an alien from Mars. Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They'll believe anything you say, because you're a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, 'I'm an alien from Mars and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight,' people would say, 'Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He's cracked up. You can't believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth.'"
—Michael Jackson

Bob Dylan; the father of modern folk rock, is still in good health. As is the Piano Man, Billy Joel.
(perhaps not what you'd call good health...but they're certainly still alive.)

http://www.theonion.com/content/node/30940
is this a dead celeb scam or real o.o
-
o-O My brain can't comprehend what that article says
what does it mean?
-
Uwaah, scary. >.<
Awww, now I'm all creeped out..urnn....
Um, Monica, it's basically saying that the real Micheal Jackson was murdered by the fake one that died today..
Um, I'm so confused. Dx
When was that article published?
-
basicly jackson died along time ago and some one took his identity...
-
says march 2005 xD
-

Uwaaah!
Like an alien? ;A;
-
says march 2005 xD
Wait.. -_=
If it's been out that long, and nobody said anything on the news, then it's false..
Especailly since the picture with the body and the train is photo-shopped..
-
Wait for real?
So the article must've been fake
-
lol yup. *hugs every one* i wanted to scare people xD someone pulled it on me
-
says march 2005 xD
Wait.. -_=

You DO realize that it's... the Onion right?
Anyway, I was at the mall today and there was a crowd of people watching CNN on the mall TV. It was awesome. We were all shocked that MJ died..
-
POFFT THANKS!
-
WTF, THANKS FOR FREAKING ME OUT. xD
(I was scared that an Alien was posing as Micheal... ;A;)
-
...that was a creepy image of M.J though...
im starting to miss him already seeing how we did the thriller dance at the end of our proformace of night of the living dead
and your welcome xD

Nono, I meant that the onion is known for making fake articles like that.

Oh, sorry. >.<
I didn't know that, ha, my bad. :33
-
I was shocked when I found that out!
I was in the car with my dad and his girlfriend, and where we're wondering why there was so many songs by him playing on the radio!
Suddenly, my dad's girlfriend gets a text saying: "Did you know that Michael Jackson is dead?" I was shocked really. Then my boyfriend sends me the same text...
This was all so sudden... I'm so sad that he's dead. ):
-
Maki,

(perhaps not what you'd call good health...but they're certainly still alive.)
YOU'RE RIGHT. I feel a little better.
There's also Elton John who, uh, I just really like XD
-
To be perfectly honest, I feel nothing over Micheal Jackson's death.
-
Me neither. >.>
I'm more upset over Farrah Fawcett's, if only because Michael Jackson's death is overshadowing hers.
-
I like Michael Jackson better because idk who Miss FF is! ^3^ And just for anyone who's going to say it again, I don't like him for his child molesting ways, but his fabu singing and dancing! ♥
So yeah, anywhoz, that article would be so easy to believe in my opinion. It just seems like it could be true. xD I believed it until I saw when it was put on the internet. Lol. :D
-
I don't remember WHO said it but I told someone he was dead, and they said, 'That's a pedo for ya.'..... What is the connection between death and being a pedo? XD
-
yeah i was one of those peeps
to me FF's death is sadder because she had cancer, somthing she could not control and was fighting it with all she had
Micheal Jackson's death while at this point we dont know the cause, people are speculating, was in some way linked to pain med and possiblie past surgerys somthing that was in his control in least some degree
-
Watched Good Morning America's tribute. Pretty well done and fun to see the old stuff. Did not know Thriller is the world's best-selling album EVER. Woah.
Check out the Earth Song video, it is harrowing.
-
"Earth Song" is a chilling video, at least to me. It always kind of creeped me out as a kid, and now that I understand context, it is just stunning.
-
Micheal Jackson, from what I've been hearing, had all sorts of health problems. Said health problems more than likely left him weak, which left him susceptible to a heart attack.
Here's an idea: go to itunes, search for "Cort and Fatboy"; they're two geek dj's at 101.1 KUFO here in Portland who have a radio show from 3pm to 7pm every Monday through Friday (and they're pretty funny too). Download yesterday's podcast, which was nothing but Micheal Jackson related news (like why people who are rejoicing over his death are jerks), and the rumor that some @$$hole started about Jeff Goldbloom falling to his death in New Zealand, WHICH HE DID NOT.
And if you want to know what I sound like (which I doubt you really do), download Monday's podcast. I called in, I asked about tickets to Transformers at the Roseway, I asked about a regular guest on their show, and I got made fun of afterwards.
-
I've been pretty ambivilant about the whole thing. Don't feel sorry for him but I'm not all happy either. I do have to say one joke though, after hearing some haters talk about how he was a drug addict in his final years. Vallie gets the real credit for this....
"Old Mr. Jackson was addicted to the knife....."
-
"Addicted to the knife?"
-
"Addicted to the knife!"
I'm not sure if that is a Repo! reference or not, but either way...I'm taking it there, lol.
-
I don't think it is, but it's still funny. xD
-
I miss the guy.
For some reason it never crossed my mind before that a REALLY famous celebrity would die (none of the ones that I like or know have died yet and some are pretty old).
Now that MJ is dead, makes me kind of sad.
I was hoping they would be here forever! T^T
-
(I was making it a Repo reference)
-
Oh. >.>
-
I just thought that at this point he was so plastic he would never die ;;>_>
I guess i was wrong! :D
-
"Addicted to the knife!"
I'm not sure if that is a Repo! reference or not, but either way...I'm taking it there, lol.
Yes it was. Thank you both for helping.

I found out after we picked up our friend from Canada in Seattle. They told us so nonchalantly. I was like "Wow.. already? I wonder who's next." DX
-
I was like "Wow.. already? I wonder who's next." DX
It was Billy Mays.
-
and then an impersonator and some other person
-
I was like "Wow.. already? I wonder who's next." DX
It was Billy Mays.
Yeah, I figured that out earlier tonight. I was just thinking about him, too.
-
I went out and bought some oxi-clean, then when i got home kaye saw me and said "he's dead you know"
lol
-
WHats that lol for?!!
-

-
Well. I see the irony in the 'funny' but a guy is DEAD!
Oh well.
