Michael Jackson Dead..... =(

It will be really sad to hear he went out the same way as Elvis, if that is the case once all the reports come back... Elvis, Monroe, Jackson, {among others} when is Hollywood going to get it through their heads that Drugs are Not the Answer, be it legal or illegal...


What I heard was that it was Demrol, Jackson took too much of it and it stopped his heart... They say we won't know for sure for another 4 to 8 weeks for all the testing to be completed...
I hadn't heard about an Injection...

But I finally stopped listening to all the news... I mean he was one of the most popular people in the world to be sure, no argument there, but do we need 24/7 coverage when 23 of it is just the media repeating themselves??? I mean they are over doing it... No disrespect to MJ or Farrah, but there are other things going on...

I actually felt a bit sorry for farrah, it was all about MJ & not much said about her & her death was no fault of her own.

Today I visited 5 different music retailers looking for the History album...you cannot buy 1 MJ CD at the moment, all totally out of stock, not even anything out the back. Even the "Essential Michael Jackson" compilations are gone. I've never seen anything like this.

I so agree... I've said it a few times to different people... Especially if he went out by way of a Drug overdose and she battled cancer and he is getting the spot light, it just ain't right...

NBC here has been the only station here that has been about even on the coverage of the 2, otherwise it's been all MJ...

Yes, I agree with that said above... but you also need to remember that most people knew Farrah was dying, so it's not so much that people don't care, its more the case that folks saw her death coming so they were somewhat prepared (but still taken back no doubt), compared to MJs sudden passing.

Yeah I can see that line of thinking as well... I'm kind of surprised that the Media hasn't been all over Billy Mays sudden passing though... Then again that might change come Monday...

my god listen to all whats coming out of the media now/

michael jackson wasn't the natural father of the kids
died owing 500 billion
sony will be releasing all his hits out again
100 of his recorded songs which were never released found
weighed only 50kgs
was almost bald (most have been wearing a wig)
the money should be flowing in again soon.

You know, he *is* dead and everything, but the question crept up at work like a sore thumb and couldn't be ignored, as it was a really good question ...

Who is the one celebrity, the only celebrity that would have the balls to fake his own death to generate album sales for a new tour, eh?

Everybody would be pissed at him, but he'd be too rich again to care ...

Yeah I can't see that happening. I think if he popped up and said it was only a joke someone else would get him.

My secretary was more upset at Farrah than MJ. I remember her but MJ rocked my world more than Farrah did.

I could see MJ doing that, but at the same time there has been too much public involvement for that to be the case here... MJ is gone, those who are fans will just have to accept that, as sad as it may be...

They said the same thing 32 years ago, didn't they?

You're referring to Elvis, right Fred?

There is one thing that is really getting under my skin about this whole Michael thing....

It is the fact that when MJ was alive, he was made fun of, extorted, and just was the brunt of a lot of people's jokes. They even accused him of being a pedophile....

Now that he is dead, everyone is saying they miss him and the tears are flowing, even some of the ones that screamed pedophile.

It is ridiculous in my book. I never once doubted that MJ did anything intentionally to children. Maybe some of his behaviors were inappropriate when you look at adults interacting with children... but he was mentally a child. To him, having a sleepover was just normal. He didn't even fit the profile of a pedophile.

You can't exactly blame him considering he was completely robbed of his childhood.

Even in his death some people still poke fun at him and say it was good that a person who molests children is dead, when they don't know all the facts. Anyone that followed the case could see that he didn't do anything that would intentionally hurt a kid.

It sickens me at times to hear some of these people.

I don't really care who you are, Elvis, MJ, you could be the Pope, if you're a Pill Popper and Drug Abuser, in my opinion You Deserve What You Get...

True, his loss will be felt world wide and for many years to come, but if you're going to do that to yourself then you get deserve what you get in the end...

I've dealt with Neck and Back pain since I was 14 years old, I take Pain Meds for it, but I limit myself to 3 a day, 4 if I'm doing some hard labor work, like helping a friend shingle his roof or something and there ain't no way I'm gonna start chewing them like they at Tic-Tacs...
I've got a total of 14 bad discs through out my spine and I have Severe Stenosis... So I know a little bit about back pain... If it was something he couldn't handle then he should have been looking into surgeries, not popping pills like they were candy...

The autopsy shows that his stomach was empty except for several half digested pills... Anyone who has been on Meds long enough knows you eat with pains meds... Otherwise you are just asking for Liver problems on top of other things...


As for the whole Pedophile thing... We'll never know what truly happen, because MJ is no longer with us to defend or confess for himself... True one of his accusers have stepped forward and apologized and said it was true, so that is certainly a point in MJ's favor... But we'll never know one way or another... You have to admit, he attention to young boys 15-20 years ago was a little fishy, but that doesn't swing the hammer one way or another...
So on this I have no opinion... If he did it, he'll burn in hell... If he didn't then he'll sit in God's court now for anything else...

I think you killed the thread baf.
