Michael Jackson Dies!!!

People will cry and stuff like the Diana thing. I personally don't feel this emotional connection that many share with celebrities. They are in the spotlight but still only people. It's not like they are close relatives or something. It's probably just because I'm a cold bastard maybe?

My first thought was "well, TV is fucked for a couple weeks".

The music had a profound effect on a lot of people that grew up the 80s. I'm not at all a Jackson fan, but he was the top selling artist of all time and to die at 50 is kind of shit. I don't think the emotion lies in the person but in the experiences people had while growing up and listening to the music.
 
Bloody hell, wickedfire knows the news before it happens!

If he had died 20 years earlier he'd remembered as a genius and a superstar. R.I.P
 
Awesome, and they say karma doesn't exist!

c'mon, he did more charity than most of the celebrities that I know of, if karma want to take its effect, then we're gonna die before 30 for all the scam offers we're pushing..
 
I'm going to play his music while I work in memory of him. Fortunately I rarely watch TV so I'm mostly going to avoid the incoming media craze for the next few weeks.

If I didn't have all this other work to do, I'd try to take advantage of the potential free traffic this news is bound to generate.

Ditto.

I really believe he had a crack-up and an intervention 20 years ago might have saved him. Once you're famous and very, very rich you can be as nutty as you want to be. He died relatively young and crazy like Elvis.
 
Lots of domain names are being registered in remembrance of him..

interesting to see the death of one person can equal the profit of another. scary
