He was always a skeletal figure!
Sha...as if it was filled before...yes..it was by about 35 husbands and 40 boyfriends.
Shep Smith. “He united the world”.
are jokes okay?
Geraldo said perhaps the stupidest thing I ever heard...
Something to the effect that towards the end of his life he was lighter skinned and perhaps the children really were his...
“He was a wonderful father” (when he wasn’t dangling his son Blanket off of a balcony and suffocating his other children with masks). I’m just sayin”
Where else but in America can you be born a poor black boy and die a rich white woman?
Beyonce said something like he was the biggest influence on music ever...
Al Sharpton said he changed the history of the world or some such nonsense. He had an impact on the world of music and entertainment, but world history? Did he lead a nation? Cure a disease? Invent something of use to all mankind, like the car or telephone? Write music or literature which will be considered the gold standard for centuries? Give me a break.
Like that is a bad thing.
Breaking News: Casper the friendly ghost was molested in the early hours of this morning!
MJ once said “I have never had plastic surgery”.
That calling him “Whacko Jacko” was what really killed him.
When sports stars, movie stars, music stars, and other entertainers die, there is always a media rush to assume the posthumous fellatory position. I understand the media derives a great deal of its viewership (and thus advertising revenue) from excessive coverage of such individuals of dubious consequence, and I understand that this derives largely from the fact that people in general have a sick need to manufacture false heroes, from the stable of vapid performers especially. Which in of itself is a pity, given the plethora of real historical heroes drawn from the ranks of warriors, scientists, great political leaders, philosophers, those martyred (or nearly so) in defense of truth or liberty, and others whose contributions amount to more than base diversion of the unwashed.
A man died, and as when almost any other individual dies, yes that is grounds for sadness. IMO, no individual, in his or her capacity as an entertainer alone, has in history warranted the sort of gratuitous displays of mourning that typically accompany their deaths.
I know the typical responses to what I wrote - apparently it is cold and heartless to afford equal or greater value to celebration of the lives and mourning for the loss of the “nobodies” listed in the local obits. Find better heroes.
"Hello, I'd like to introduce you to my children Blanket and Pillow"
Seriously, I can think of a million other ways to differentiate one Prince Michael from another Prince Michael (those names are dumb, too but nowhere near as bad as BLANKET!)
These children would do better in the custody of the Florida Child Protection Service than with any of the people around them now (ok, I exaggerated)
He’s not really dead. He’s hanging out with Elvis somewhere. (joke)
I think that one should make the list
Anything that the disgusting Schmuly Boteach says.
Michael Jackson died of a heart attack after he learned ‘Boys to Men’ was the name of a band, not a delivery service.
Spokesperson being interviewed by Shep: “Michael touched different people in many different ways.” (A moment of silence followed)
