I think it's kinda weird that everyone is upset about Michael Jackson because people made fun of him and laughed at him relentlessly. Now everyone is like, "Oh, whoops, I didn't mean it. He really was the king of pop! Just joking! I'm sad!" I guess the media, who treated him the worst, feels bad about it and decided to make everyone else feel bad too. Oh media, your supreme power and influence never ceases to shock me.

Like read this stupid quote. "Michael, you may be gone but NEVER will you be forgotten. I will play your song 'You Are Not Alone' in remembered. Rest In Peace MJ."
Everyone feels like they have to say something!

or this one

"If you ever like any of MJ's music to honor him tomorrow wear black and one white glove!!! spead the word. Twitter, email etc!!"

Jeez, the hipsters are gonna have a field day with this. Glad I'm in the States see that.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I sort of wonder how many people really mean it when they say, "R.I.P." after the way they treated him when he was alive.

Anyway, R.I.P., Michale Jackson. I cracked jokes on you when I was younger and I'm sorry about that. Whenever I heard Billy Jean on the radio when I worked that shitty retail job I felt a little better and I had a good time dancing to your remixes at parties back in the day. I'll always remember when Gio dressed up like you for Halloween. If I were in Chicago, I'd ask Gio if he wanted to drive to Gary and pass the abandoned theater with the Marquee that still says, "Jackson Five Tonight" to have a look at a little piece of that history that remains from when you were young.

Anyway, I'm starving. I need to eat and then go to work!

*nod* Agreed. A lot of people made fun, and then a lot of others said some really awful things, and are still saying really awful things even now (I don't mean jokes, I mean actually really truly disgusting things), and now some of those people definitely would be back peddling.

Some forums I was reading today just had people commenting with "At least now kids are safe" or "Children can sleep safely tonight". That really riled me. Wtf? I'm sorry, but that kind of talk is stupid to me.

As if he was hanging around on street corners preying on little kids? If that was the case, don't you think he'd be in jail? It'd be kinda hard to miss. What do they know anyway? I'm not defending him as such as I don't know the truth, but neither do the people who say all that stuff, but the bottom line is he was acquitted, so people just need to let it go. It's sad that for a lot of people that is all they will remember/think when he is brought up. And people who say dumb things like that make me really angry ~_~

It is very sad. I know people die every day, but it is sad when it's someone who is so famous and was so talented. I always felt a bit sad for him, I feel sad for anyone who is really famous and picked on by the media etc. It's like the general public expect them to behave like everyone else, but how can they, when they don't live like the ordinary person, and are not treated like the ordinary person?? Sometimes you think "What did you truly expect?" He was nutty but he didn't have a 'normal' life.

I'm happy to remember him for his music.

*blush* whoops, sorry, that was a bit ranty! I think I was just thinking about it all day and your post just made it all come out ;)
