Oh give it a break. Of course everyone dies, but few of them are as culturally significant as ol' Wacko. His passing is important, it's big news. Don't be a plum.

For me, Michael Jackson stopped being talented a long time ago. I do not miss the person, only the talent. So I don't feel so much for his loss, since to me, it happened a long time ago.
Oh BadMouth how politically incorrect how awful and yet how true.
Unless you were Michael Jackson's brother, sister, or good friend, I see no reason why you should fret over his death. I mean putting political correctness aside for a moment.. really.. truly.. had you bought Michael Jackson merchandise (music or otherwise) this year or even last year? Why is the passing of someone who you might not have given more than a passing thought if one of his songs came on the radio suddenly tragic?
I'd like to be sad of Michael Jackson's passing, but when you realize how many people die everyday in far worse conditions, I'd be a hypocrite to mourn his death when I didn't even know him personally. Internet, world, move on please. Nothing to see here.
What about if we strap him to a rocket and send him into orbit? Can't say would of seen that before.. and he would be about for future generations to erm....err

However, no one has commented on what I am interested in (and the news outlets are also relatively silent on it so far).
The Beatles catalog. I remember that he outbid McCartney on them a while back and it caused a fairly big uproar...

What an utterly stupid comment.

Awflarius is a good one. I'll use that. As in "Porn of the Dead" sounds awflarious.

Kill Bill sales will sky rocket.

Man. His face scares humans who have known about him their whole life.
