I actually saw a posting on FB where someone said, "Who cares if he raped little boys...get over it already. He was a great a artist....etc."

I was totally stunned that someone would even say that. I cannot get past the pedophile tendencies of his character...but I also recognize his talent and his contribution to the music world.

Okay...let's move on to different news.

There has been David Carradine 6-03-09, Ed McMahon 6-23-09, Farrah Fawcett 6-25-09, and Michael Jackson 6-25-09. Which we all know MJ is the top story. Also wonder who the next two are? Death usually comes in three's and we are four into it. Patrick Swayze next? Who knows?

Dont know if you consider him "famous", but As Seen On TV pitchman Billy Mays was found dead this morning.

BUT BET, VH1, MTV, MTV2 and everyone else who are ONLY playing MJ's songs and vids....THAT'S ENOUGH ALREADY. No one wants to see/hear Thriller or Billy Jean 16,000 times a day.

Hippie, you KNOW you listen to it more than that on a typical day.

I haven't really noticed it too much on my channels (could be because my kids have watched cartoons or we just haven't had the TV on) but I did go to On Demand and notice they have a section just for him. I did watch a few of his music videos (Man in the Mirror, Black or White, Scream) but I like being able to choose if I want to hear or see about him.

All the local hiphop/rap stations have been playing mostly MJ. Sorry, but MJ was NOT HipHop nor rap. I can see them having a special about him, he did a lot of talented work, but damn, not continuously.

they are honoring him and a lot of stations are doing that and will for a little while half the world is mourning for him.........

there will always be a great debate here and no proof...a set of perents wanting money another comming out a million years later.......getting alllll kinds of attention... just watched it all on tv... just now again... as I did berfore

they got 30 million.. sued him in civil court not criminal, I would want him dead not his money. "so how you like my new shoes hun, yeh with the money you were molested in" . yeh you are going to school in the money that you got cause you were molested in... ewwwwwwwww I wouldn't want a dime of his bribe money... but that is me of course..

I am not saying he didn't do it... just saying I don't think he did... money hungry hands... and if MYYYYY kids came to me and were molested, taking money is the last thing I would want. BUT if I am looking for money....... SAYING he molested my kids is the way to go and get mj PEEPS in on it to give me info (getting a medical record with scar info and pay them off of course) and BAM we just brought him down... and they just about did didn't they........just saying

he is an odddddddddddddd man who loves to help and is lonely.... and just wants to be loved... and he was preyed upon... that is what I think...but it is between him and his god... or probably was..

I really hope that after the initial shock wears off we can get back to our "normalish" lives. All this coverage is making me sad and I shouldn't have to not watch the news to not see it... I am hoping to hear about other things and what is going on in my area. I guess Joe Jackson frequents a restaurant here and we're hearing about what a great guy he is... REALLY!?!? b/c that is not the picture that has been painted of him before.

It's like an over kill of 9/11 all over again.

The even prempted a show on Fara to do MJ piece now that was not right. I sorry he was so deep into drugs ,but poor Fara fought 3 years and must surley have suffered greatley. I think she is sadling being over looked. Sorry for both passings though.

My 15 year old son loved that guy. He didn't believe me when I told him he had died. I clicked the link so he could read the obit. So sad so many are dying young.

msginna · 06-28-2009, 06:26 PM

my hubby and son actually watch his show ,they saw a glimse of his face as it was flashed on a news show and were really bumbed out..

..............on their faces they were like forget about michael jackson....

I agree with you msginna

If someone touched my children, I sure in the hell wouldn't want a damn dime off the ******* who did it. That is just wrong. Let him and his money burn in hell.........
