Hee.
What does it say about my character that I'm filled with borderline-homicidal rage at someone like chasethehedgehog, yet only want pedophiles like Jacko to be put away for thirty years and occasionally prodded with red-hot pokers?
Nothing good.
Am I the only one who's glad he died? In my opinion, cardiac arrest wasn't a quick enough end.
-end".
Now everyone's going "He was the King of Pop! And he was in Thriller! He's dead! Waaaaah!" instead of "He was a fragging pedophile!"
But we can still make jokes about him. What's the difference between Michael Jackson and a grocery bag?
From The Sneeze on "natto", which is a type of fermented soybean foodstuff popular in Japan:
"Not unlike Michael Jackson, these harmless soybeans had undergone some kind of hideous transformation. They were now a freakish version of their former selves. (Which, coincidentally, should also be kept away from your children.)"
Search me. What?
and the other carries your shopping in. :P
It's "One's made of white plastic and is dangerous for children to play with and the other one's a grocery bag".
sometimes that part's in, sometimes it isn't.
HAR.
Cheap, but amusing!
I'm crap at jokes, so excuse the poor telling of it. It was something along the lines of Farrah Fawcett dying and going to heaven and being asked if she had any last requests for happenings on Earth. She asked for all the children of the world to be happy and safe. So they killed Michael Jackson. Of course, as jokes go, it works rather better if, unlike me, you a) know who Farrah Fawcett is and b) know she also died that day.

chasethehedgehog?
EncylopediaDramatica explains it better than I could, but to sum it up: He's an arrogant kid who does MS Paint Sonic Art. He thinks his (large) number of pageviews is due to his artistic prowess, but really, it's because of morbid curiosity.
Interesting comments of his include saying that photography isn't art because you press a button and get a picture, (Apparently hours of tweaking the lighting, makeup, and the picture itself in various programs don't count.) and poetry isn't art because he just doesn't like it.
He's not even a lolcow anymore, so much as annoying.
I just didn't want to be the first to say it.
He can't sing either. But then again, he was better than the local church fete (taking place the Saturday after his death) where some moron hired the school choir or something to sing things from Coldplay and Jackson (of those I could identify). ... none of them could sing.
On the plus side, the Jackson songs were fun. Not because of the songs themselves, but because I remembered what Weird Al did to them. :P Good times.
Regardless of what the person did or didn't do, death is so final ... Then again, maybe real-life me is just softhearted. Hell, I felt bad when Jerry Falwell died, and I actively loathed everything he stood for!
I do think that death's a bit too final, there are some exceptions such as Jackson were I can happily think "Well, good riddance." I think the same for any major criminal (e.g. rapist, murderer etc).
I think it's tragic. I can't say I ever really loved him, but I did respect him. Even pitied him when he hated himself so much he would twist and mutilate his body to be someone he wasn't.
But I do think it's awful that the same people who constantly cracked jokes about him now pretend he was their idol. It really isn't fair. Poor Man...
Ain't that sad? I'm getting my news through devArt now. Well, I was never a big fan, but my support goes out to both his family and his fanbase.
