The King of Pop is dead. Today, will forever be the day that Michael Jackson died. I have found it very interesting to view the facebook statuses and tweets that have spoken and referred to the legendary MJ. Mostly, from what I have seen, comments have been supportive and respectful. There have however been some ruder comments made. They include, and I have directly copied this from ‘the book’:
- Micheal Jackson…. Dead!? Was a good man, Saw the light, became White, Touched little boys and then said Just Beat It. Will be forever rememberd for his staring role in SouthPark.
- I love Michael Jacksons music but he was an idiot! You cant just change your skin colour and expect your body to be okay with it, did he really think all those surgeries were not gna effect his health..silly silly man, what a waste of good talent!
- and those poor boys too… who’s gonna molest them now?
- so much for Michael Jackson’s comeback. He could still make a comeback on Days of our Lives?
- unnaturally sad about michael jackson…
- haha
- Calling all young boys, You are safe, Yes safe!, At last.
- Michael Jackson goes to either wax museum or recycling plant… I say the latter
- stoked for Michael Jackson, they dont even need to preserve him, he can go straight to Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum.
- Wow… With all the money and fame in the world, death levels it all. We should value what have, even if its little, even though we go through recessions and cold winters. Rest in Peace Michael. From a long standing fan.
- he is still the best their ever was and will be. RIP MJ.
- I cant believe it. It feels funny. Peace out michael.
I have left out the many “R.I.P. MJ” statuses that were promulgated.
The US entertainment website TMZ.com was first to report that Jackson had been rushed to hospital. At 2.44pm, TMZ.com broke the news that Jackson had died, sparking an internet meltdown which caused Google to crash. That’s insane, imagine your death causing Google to crash for a bit. I think that’s pretty fucking cool, man. When I die, I want Google to crash too. It’s beautiful.
All in all, what’s the verdict? I reckon MJ was pretty fucked-up, had serious emotional problems in his life, and suffered from many problems that people who have not been dubbed “The King of Pop” could not quite comprehend. He is a legend though.
R.I.P. MJ
