I have noticed that a substantial portion of his mourning fans making asses of themselves in public seem to be approaching or attained middle age status.
Must have been an empty life. Let's hope they did not have children..

I appreciated all of the coverage of crazy people sobbing in the streets over MJ's death. It lets me know that there are a hell of a lot more crazy people in this world than I ever imagined.

I may have a twisted view on things....but when I see these "crazy" people being interviewed, all I can think of is "jury of peers". Gives me the weebeejeebees.

Yes it is sad, but the world didn't end...

You are right, and neither did the circus atmosphere surrounding his personal life and is continuing into his death.
The devotion and carnival like antics of his fans is understood by the press. The press is playing it to the hilt.

Enough already, just get it over with. How can we miss you if you won't go away?

I grew up in the 80's and was a big fan of MJ too but for love of pete, this last few days has been insane.

I was a bigger fan of the J5 when I was kid and it sucks that he died like this.

But man I have heard
people have been killing themselves.......along with the relentless coverage of the what, were, why,how and the worship like morning.....

On a side note: R.I.P. Michael, I always wanted to believe you were innocent.......

Yep. I generally avoid TV news, but it's what I watch at the gym. Two days ago in my hour of cardio I watched a car chase and drama over Jackson's estate, which was covered by all the major cable channels. Yesterday they spent that hour evaluating the car chase and examining autopsy reports from Jackson's death. Really?

I read somewhere yesterday that Michael Jackson's death is the Lady Di moment for the US, except that the US was just as bad then.

I really don't get this fan worship over the death of a celebrity. Yes it is sad, but the world didn't end, and I can't see covering it 24/7 when there is so much in the world that really is far more important and affects our lives so much more.

Very appropriate since Drudge is reporting that Iran has hanged 6 of the protesters and is breaking out the windows of any car that honks its horn in support of the opposition. Yet we support achmahandijob and denounce the rightful government of Honduras protecting its constitution from a chavez wannabe. To quote Roger Rabbit "what a maroon" we elected to president. m pw
