Matt, Agreed. The illustration is a timeless piece about today’s “news” culture and not about Michael Jackson. It could have been published any other day and still be relevant.

Leo, exactly.

But this cartoon still cant change the fact that MJ was a musical genius.

This is a good reminder about how popular media reports/creates news content.

#25 you are not famous actor or pop singer.
No one will give a shit when you die.

#16 — The dead are dead. They don’t care any more what we say about them.

I’ve made my friends promise me they’ll say horrible crap about me, and photoshop photos of me when I die.

sorry dude, but you talk like some neo-Hitler (ship them to Auschwitz?)

Face it: ~85% of population (give or take 10% in countries other than USA) are just exactly the same dumbos.

Another iReporter woman crying because of MJ dying. The anchor asked her how many times she had seen him perform live. She said never, that she only knew him from videos. Upset like a member of her family had died. She seriously needs to get a life. It boggles the mind sometimes. *shakes head*

Oh, and the idiots gathered around the star of radio host “Michael Jackson” on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, you people are truly retarded and we should ship you off with the rest of the telephone sanitizers.

I rarely had anything nice to say about him when he was alive. I don’t foresee that feeling changing much because he’s dead.

But hey, you never know. The next time the 80′s get popular, I may be crying over a beer in a nightclub somewhere.

G.F.R.

#11 apparently only you and I are old enough to remember when that was funny and where it came from. By the way Fransisco Franco is still dead.

It’s the tribal instinct in humans. People search for commonality. That doesn’t apply to the antisocial misanthropes like me and the rest that commenters here. All of us need to move to Alaska where nut cases are better tolerated.

#16–really==who you? I don’t see any jokes here. A few on the MJ thread itself. Why do you think the death of a celebrity/anyone should be uniformily only one thing by all people regardless of what their life experiences has been.

If the good and bad, pro’s and con’s, holy and profane, are not discussed on someone demise, then when?

Silly knee jerk post.
