    There are rumours that the Cardiac arrest was brought about by MJ tripping over a child's pram. A spokesperson was quoted as saying that further details will be announced but at the moment we shouldn't blame it on the buggy.

    People, who specialise in harming the ideas/feelings/beliefs of others just so they can extract a bit of pain at no expence to themselves. Well I'm sorry to have to inform you but your need to to behave in that fashion proves, without any other input needed, your own private(now made public) desperation to try to make others feel worse than you do yourself. The internet is swarming with these diseased minds who feel they are owed a few pain killing sessions at the expence of others but it will always come back to haunt you.Enjoy, temporarily.

    Wow that has got to be the most pompous and self righteous post ever !

    You don't seem to understand your own use of termiology but you include yourself in the People paragraph by your reaction. This is turning into a very revealing thread. If my righteousness emenated fom you I would be in some trouble. As for pompous , well that is your attempt at undermining what I say , it is interesting how you two name yourselves without my needing to do anything other than cover your personality type. Congratulations for being able, subconsciously able to identify yourselves, remembering that I did say your enjoyment would be temporary, I could add illusory and the possibility that your own make up is slipping.Try using Continental tub cement.

    Why thank you :)

    Err he did just compliment me right .... :wink:

    Very good...

    Oh you're being serious, well allow me to retort; you're straight on the case of anyone who attacks you, whilst accusing others of being bitter and stupid! :roll:

    Why? On what basis are you allowed to call others stupid? Whether you like it or not you are giving the impression that you are pompous and self righteous.

    I suppose you feel everyone who makes a joke in poor taste or says that they don't really care has some kind of black hole where the empathy section of their brain is. But truly think about it, the death of MJ is hardly the most tragic news of the week, whilst undoubtedly it's sad, and unfortunate for his fans, the world has far greater problems.

    When they demonstrate stupidity, easy. Observing the crap that they write is more than enough to demonstrate youpidity.The fact that it has no entertainment value is another minus in the equation.

    The bitterness is obvious

    I will be as serious as I like when I like.

    You suppose, yes you do.

    It makes no difference what position Michael Jackson death occupies in the tragedy charts.

    As to how amused you are or pretend to be, again nothing to do with me , so expressing it in such original form is of no interest here.

    I state what I know and it gets under your skin, your skin(s), your problem, not mine.

    They like writing shiite, I will let them know. Being on the money is not always funny but it often brings on the attacks from all sides by those not wanting to be informed of their character flaws, nasty ones at that.

    remember when Princess Diana died and we had complete media saturation of that.....

    This will be similar I reckon, only with 20 times the media available to be saturated

    Do I care? Nope. Did I know him? Nope. Did he mourn my mother? Nope

    Never liked his music, no respect for his reported lifestyle. Can't wait til the frenzy is over.

    here,here

    the bloke was a freak, quite possibly a child molester, or at very least had strange relationships with children (and monkeys), looked like one of the zombies from his own thriller video, hung his own children from balconies, gave them ridiculous names and generally had a f***ed up life. It that was you or i we would most probable be sectioned by now

    No being on the money is more often then not funny but take everything deadly serious and you're sure to stress yourself to an early grave. At the end of the day it does matter what position MJs death occupies in the tragedy charts. Because it's going to command unwarranted media attention, attention which should be focused elsewhere, Iran pops into mind, furthermore it will see unscrupulous people pop out from the woodwork and try to make a quick buck, money which would be better spent elsewhere.

    Furthermore, this is a complete crap way of judging people, I know someone who works tremendously hard for charities and is genuinely outstanding guy, but he never misses an opportunity to make a tasteless joke. Now this may a character flaw, but overall I think it's a pretty small one when I consider everything else the guy does.

    Finally, what gets under peoples skin is that without invitation, and most probably any qualifications, you make rapid assumptions about people's character flaws based on a few posts on an internet forum. As you rightly point out, people generally don't want to hear their flaws, especially when it's an uninvited and from someone who is quite possibly wrong in the first place.

    You try to angrue me into submission so I will tell you what it is that really bothers our light hearted leeches and maybe yourself for all I know.


    Like I said previously, I will take whatever I like seriously. Lets see the next or the last cycling tragedy openly ridiculed on here in a thread, see how long it lasts. The crash in or around Mexico last year, a lot of people turned that into a dreadful attack on cyclists and it was rightly condemned. That is what I'm doing here, I will pass whatever judgement on the cowardly, spineless creeps who post similarily here. If there was any comeback at all on these scumedians they would not utter a word in the first place. Let them try their shiatribe at any Michael Jackson memorial, they would be shredded in seconds.

    Of course what really bothers them is that they might be like him or what they percieve him to have been and that is what this is really all about, me pointing out the possibility is just way to much information for them but if they like throwing that kind of shiite then they need to be pointed in the direction of the obvious.

    Regarding the crapology of it all, it is a very good and clear way of judging what people are up to, I love your probability opt out, you prbably don't know the answer.
    When you write such utter rubbish as has been done here you invite a reply, mine is as valid as any ones, I'm not afraid to make it, most people are cowards most of the time .
    So your friend goes up to the mike at a charity mode, sees the most tasteless joke possible and knows he will alienate everyone, will he do it? No chance because like most people he wouldn't dare. When were you last right in your assumption.

    I often come up with great but wholy objectionable material, I don't write it or repeat it as invariably most subjects, no all subjects can be tackled quite easily by anyone with a certain amount of talent, talentless people jump at the obvious every time, repeat it endlessly and thereby start a comedy age that died the moment the first brain cell fried it.

    Before any one inquires, no I'm not a fan.I just don't have anytime for mediocrity or its fanbase , huge as it is.

    Just back from a couple of days away and what a shock.
    Am I sad about MJ's death? No, he had a life and he had choices I'm more saddened by the death of children bombed by all sides in Afghanistan, they didn't have a life or chance.
    Was MJ talented? Possibly as a singer but he became a parady of himself and I think his upcoming tour would have put a final nail in his performing coffin. The true power behind the throne was Quincy who has been a musical genius and Rod Temperton who wrote all the good stuff.
    Good dancer? No, technically limited and too stilted, Prince is far better and the complete package, writing, playing, singing and producing everything he has done AND developing other artists.
    Good singer? Good to start with but like Streisand the nose job spoiled it.
    Good entertainer? No question, whether you liked him or not
    Troubled person? With a father like his its amazing he lasted on this mortal coil this long
    Peado? Never proved in a criminal court but enough evidense in a civil court to have his lawyers running scared and paying off the claimants.

    Can't forgive him now for f*&king up the tv schedules for the next few weeks!

    He made some good music, but at the end of the day... He was a kiddy fiddler.

    A Jim Jeffries quote comes to mind...

    "Elvis was a paedophile. Priscilla was 14 when he moved her into the house, she was 16 when they married, and they were f**king all that time. Charlie Chaplin was a paedophile. He f**ked a 13 year old, a 14 year old and a 15 year old. He liked ‘em young. But nobody ever talks about that, because they were the greats, Elvis and Chaplin, they were the best at what they did. Which begs the question, how good at something do you have to be before they let you f**k a kid?"

    With the out pouring of sadness and praise, I believe that question has been answered. :wink:


    Farrah Fawcett arrives at the Pearly Gates. She is told that "Due to leading a good life, God will grant you one wish". Farrah thinks for a minute, then replies " I want all the children of the world to be safe and happy.
    So God killed Micheal Jackson.

    What?
    Too soon? :P :lol:

  • Michael Jackson fans who paid in advance for the singer's UK concerts have been offered their money back or a souvenir ticket as an alternative.

    Promoter AEG Live said the tickets feature graphics "inspired and designed" by the music legend, who died at the age of 50 on Thursday.

    An estimated 800,000 people paid £50-£75 to watch the star perform 50 concerts at London's 02 arena.

    The company will not be printing any further tickets as collectables.

    'Magical Jackson'

    It adds that the originals will become collectors' items, and feature special images which give them a 3D moving effect.

    Fans have until 14 Aug to take up the offer of receiving the original tickets for the This Is It dates.

    Saw this on the BBC. 800,000 at £50-£75 assuming a £62.50 average comes to £50 million. Lovely jubbly.

    I'm busy knocking up some authentic souvenir fake tickets if anyone wants a genuine momento of not being scalped. Best seats £200 a pop.

    Who'd be an artist if the promoter can make more out of you dead than alive? It'd make you think wouldn't it?
    If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.

    I've posted earlier my thoughts on MJ.

    But listening to the news it's rumoured he was dependent on prescription drugs and the people around him were no help.

    The thing is when you're a mega-star you tend to get surrounded by snivellers and sicophants (sp) who indulge the "stars" ego's and fantasies etc. I often thought Elvis Presley would still be with us if he'd had a straight talking Yorkshireman in his entourage. I can just see him sat opposite "the king" at breakfast as he was just about to tuck into one of his legendary gut busters.

For example, James Brown's "influence" cannot be measured just in retail units, but from the impact of him yelling to people categorised as officially inferior, "Say it out loud, I'm black and I'm proud." Whereas Jackson's attitude towards his colour was slightly less forthright. Still, he could at least have made an effort and sang, "Say it's apparent, I'm almost transparent."

    Michael Jackson aimed solely to make people dance, which is a fine aspiration, and he was himself a fantastic dancer. But while he provided a catchy soundtrack to the early 1980s, truly influential dance music has created more than a hypnotic beat, it has made its audience want to dance to express itself, finding pride in its colour, sexuality or youthfulness that is restricted in other areas of society and transform the world beyond the dancefloor,

    Jackson, though, was tragically hollow, shich may be why his main influence was on combining music with new technology, firstly by transforming videos into mini-feature films, then by becoming the subject of the world's first globally mass-texted useless jokes. .

    thanks for the link to the article, missed it as i was over in paris, but steels got it right...


    Within minutes of the first reports, it was clear the world was going mad. The reporter on Radio 5 Live told us the news from Los Angeles "was truly a JFK moment". Because the sense of shock and grief were identical, in one case millions feeling a new era of civil rights and peace had been cruelly snuffed out; in the other, the realisation we would never again see a man go "Yow" while spinning in a circle.



    some people should go and get themselves a LIFE
