Pop star Michael Jackson dead: report – washingtonpost.com — FYI. An odd tragic figure.
Pop giant Michael Jackson, who took to the stage as a child star and went on to set the world dancing to the thumping rhythms of his music for decades, died Thursday, TMZ website reported. He was 50.
“We’ve just learned Michael Jackson has died,” TMZ said.
“Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We’re told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back,” the entertainment site said.
There was no official confirmation of the reported death and spokespersons for Jackson could not be reached for comment.
I think saw MJ at a Burger King last night.
#70 – Boo Hoo Hoo motherfucker.
#74: Docs said it was food poisoning. I guess 12 year-old meat really is bad for you.
I got an MJ moment for ya, as a kid in the summer of 72 I went to see the promising continuation of a film called ‘Willard’. Basically thousands of rats attacking humans. In the continuation ‘Ben’ Michael does the theme song, basically a love song to a rat. At first I started to laugh, but it got to me somehow. After that I tried to convince my dad that a rat would make a good pet, good thing he wanted nothing to do with it.

I don’t care how you feel about him that’s funny.
Back in 1997, Michael Jackson was interviewed. He remarked that the deaths of Princess Diana and Mother Teresa scared him. When pressed why, he admitted because he feared he would be next.
He probably heard the news of Farrah Fawcet and panicked believing that celebrity deaths come in twos. With his anxiety about the concert tour and the body stress due to recent training… his heart gave out.
He died of fright.
Jackson spawned a whole new industry.
He was a good performer until after he did Bad. Then he just got crazy. He is no longer remembered for songs like Thriller, Bad, and Billy Jean. Now he is remembered for plastic surgery, child molestation, and plain creepiness. Self destructive celebrities die young. At least little boys are safe.
On his grave stone they will write:
“Michael never liked himself,
His surgeries were quite drastic.
At least he’ll never decompose,
He’s mostly made of plastic.” –(Not sure who the author is. It is not my own poem.)
I’ll remember him like most of his fans will and not like the holier than thou fools who never seem to get past what they don’t like in people.
What a shitty life you must live in. Hopefully, only a small amount of your crappy views gets passed to your unfortunate kids.
An old boyfriend of mine worked w/him on the “Beat It” video – Michael would only talk to him and the children on set. When he asked why, Michael told him, “I don’t trust adults.”
There are two types of people in the world today: You guys listening to MJ now & those of us for whom child sex predation is a deal-breaker.
I am not saying the guy does not deserve a 1/2 hr retrospective or something, but multiple day, wall-to-wall, comparisons to 9/11…bit much
I loved Thriller, back in the day, but regardless, nobody deserves this much focus, nobody.
i can hardly believe he was 50… i guess time really does fly
Let’s quickly refocus on the issues and bring them to center stage…
Any update on South Carolina GOP Governor Mark Sanford?
Did he apologize to Pres Clinton for being a prick and hypocrite?
Has he done any hail mary’s for lying to our lord Jesus Christ for 10 years?
He is an elected public official and these things need to be aired out on the basis of hypocrisy, not morality.
THE ONLY THING… this NON-ISSUE-(his death) has done, is kept the insanity that is the WORLD CHANGING CAP AND TRADE CO2 BILL that just passed in the house,
from being headline news.
yeah, yeah, jackson touched all of us.. BIG F’n DEAL… if this BILL passes to law,
your 3-4x increase on your monthly energy costs..will be the direct result of this bill’s passage..
(the switchboard was shut down in people
calling in against it..)
just great..

PS
coupled with a USD on life support, everything produced will cost 3-10x more now.

The tradition is to die on the toilet.
Put my money on the kitchen.
MICHAEL THE NARC-ANGEL
Millions of little members of the worldwide F.F.A. (Future Followers of the Antichrist) have finally learned how to find a certain part of their lower anatomy and quickly touch it while dancing – thanks to Michael Jackson, the highest paid Lower Anatomy Toucher of all time! Special thanks also go to the Jesus-bashing, Hell-bound Hollywood moguls who were just as quick to see higher profits in lower anatomies! [Just saw this opinion on the web. Other grabby items on MSN, Google, etc. include "Separation of Raunch and State," "David Letterman's Hate, Etc.," "Tribulation Index becomes Rapture Index," and "Bible Verses Obama Avoids." - something for everyone!]
The world was recently saddened by the sudden loss of pop icon Michael Jackson. In memoriam of this legendary and one-of-a-kind performer, Ztarlet Star Registry has dedicated an actual star in his memory – as a symbol of the bright light that Jackson brought to the music industry and his millions of loyal fans across the globe.
