not to sound disrespectful to a dead man, but I think he's just a freak who can't really sing
how the hell can that ever be seen as not disrespectful?

OT of course he did, he was a hero when he lived, now hes a good, old fashioned Legend.

If you're trying not to be disrespectful you went the wrong way about it.


...Wish I could break the internet with my death. That's awesome.

I know I am going to regret this. I'm going to regret it a lot. I shall venture to 4chan to find out what they think of this. If anyone could break the internet, I figured it would be them.

Look to my coming on the first light of the fifth day, at dawn look to the east.

That explains a lot. I was surfing through Google looking for pictures yesterday and it was crawling along slower than I'd ever seen it.

lol, god help us when someone REALLY popular dies. It'll probably cause every connected computer to explode or something.

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.

Maybe not so much now, but in many ways, Jackson was *the* defining figure of the '80s.
