I sense a flurry of piss poor re-edited thriller videos showing up on youtube real soon...
Apart from that, was anyone else unconvinced until the news broke on a 'real' site?
Until the BBC solidly reported it, I wasn't going to believe it, there were tales of it being a hoax, and at that point the BBC had only gone as far as to say 'We have heard reports that MJ may have died from a cardiac arrest' as opposed to 'omg mj ded' from some other sites.
I'll ask the Americans, do you prefer to wait until say, CNN cover a tale before fully taking it as fact? (CNN seem to have some respect as a brand outside USA, unlike say, FOX. By all means re-educate me if I'm wrong about CNN!)
From what TMZ sounded like, it'd be like buying Heat magazine for my news.
