    Turn on the news and watch all of the people who used to trash him suck his cock. He's the "King of Pop" again, and all he had to do was die.

    The star had three children, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson II.

    ..bet the kids did him in. With names like those? eeerkkkk.

    Now I know how all the stoner kids felt when Cobain died.

    Can't take credit for this, off of 4chan's /co/ board:


    And rather than play any of his songs to mark the occasion, its off to dig out Weird Al's parodies of them.

    Of the dead, speak no ill. Not that I necessarily agree with it, but that's traditionally what happens when someone passes away.
    He was the Prince of Pop, but I'll always remember him as the King of the Kiddy fiddlers.

    I'm listening to Muddy Waters & Howlin' Wolf right now. Can't give two shits that the pederast homunculus has karked it.

    (I lived in Leeds next to a major Jackson fan. When the first child-abuse allegations came in, she undertook a vigil - over 24 hours of his 'greatest' hits, top volume. Kind of put me of what little enjoyment he previously gave me.)
    (Well OK, Smooth Criminal was alright I suppose...)

    And I don't speak any worse of the dead than during their life... so there's that.

    He is in Heaven now, raping Baby Jesus.
    Let us mourn.

    Maybe someone will finally let his kids take those masks off.

    Unless that reveals they wear them to conceal the fact the Jackson surgically stole them away to help with the construction of his fifth nose job?

    This feels really surreal. Jackson descended into such bizarre - well, bizarreness - over the last 15-20 years that without my realising it he migrated from the part of my brain that catalogues real people into the part that catalogues fictional people. So hearing that he's dead is like hearing that Batman, Sherlock Holmes or Santa Clause is dead - it just doesn't compute.

    I guess it's hard to believe someone's dead when you didn't really believe they existed in the first place.

    I think the whole point was that they wore the masks around him so that they could just be normal everywhere else.

    Anyway, did anyone else see an early report that he went into arrest after swallowing too many sleeping pills, or am I just overdosing on piracetam?
  10.  (6232.77)
    Well, he was a weirdo. But he was our weirdo.
    See you in hell, old chum.

    You're right, he was more of a special effect than a human. In fact, I doubt his corpse is even biodegradable.

    Plus side: LOTS of fucking great MJ jokes.

    Downside: fucking kiddy fiddling nonce didn't do bird first.

    Seriously - Couple of hits with J-5, 2, maybe 3 halfway decent albums, and then 20 years of what, ...feeling up kids and being weird. What's to mourn? Seriously.

    All together now, "I'm forever blowing Bubbles, pretty Bubbles in the air..."

    Captain E-O was fucking amazing when I was seven. It’s the sort of thing one never really gets over.
