The title of this thread clearly states it’s about MJ being dead. Please stop insulting people.

I do wish that our media would weight its news toward what is more important, truly, in life. But, with the media blackout in Iran, what can they do? Where in LA, they can park outside of the hospital, and make money.

*I* care.

My 8 year old daughter has it. Her father is from India

It does seem to be more common among the Desi.

Here in Silicon Valley, it's rare enough to be a bit exotic, but common enough that it doesn't seem to be much of an issue.

(BTW, your daughter is darling!)

How long before Obama gets in on the action, you know the camera hound will want to be front and centre claiming Jackson as “a great friend”.

Ya'd think it would put a damper on Obama's White House Luau tonight. Then again...nahhhh.

Well, since MJ isn’t really black, probably never.

No mortician required for this one.

Looks like a hoax.

[tuffydoodle]

Ok, we get it, you’re dancing on his grave. Give it a rest now.

Is that you God?

No?

Then STFU.

Seriously.

I am so freaking tired of seeing crap like your post on this forum. You DO realize every Christian is painted with the same broad brush because knuckleheads like you RUSH to your computer to post such drivel. Thanks a ton.

Wow! That the same cliff where Tom Cruise fell to his death while filming Valkyrie. What an amazing coincidence!
