My friends at school were checking Facebook on their phone, and not a single thing they saw didn't mention Michael Jackson. So yeah, this doesn't surprise me.

But google? Wow, that's quite a feat.

 

[EeveeElectro]

I didn't think he could die... maybe he's sleeping?

He might jump from his coffin and sing Thriller.

 

[Eric the Orange]

Wow thats pretty impresive.

When Obama dies, planes will drop out of the sky

No, because outside the US nobody cares about the guy, whereas good ol MJ was a huge star back then, all around the world.

I wonder what would've happened if we had the internets when Elvis died... Google would've went up in a mushroom cloud, heheh

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

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

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

People can crack jokes, but at the end of the day everyone knew who Michael Jackson was. He was the most well known and popular person on the planet, and this is fact.

Incorrect. There were enough people who were overjoyed like it was their own president over in britain.

Now that's a standing achievement to remember.

The internet has a weakness!

This was actually a pretty well established fact even before now. Really though, the whole thing badly needs an upgrade at the backbone.

To add to your point, in Australia, Obama's approval rating was consistently 75% around his election time. You just can't get that for our Prime Ministers. They've never had such a victory, and having such a rating even for a short while is extremely rare. The fact is, the world loves the man.

 

[Sneaky Paladin]

OH MY GOD M.J. BROKE THE INTERWEBS.

I cannot wait for the next celebrity like him to die. Might put the final stake through twitter.

what I don't understand is why people tweeted it I mean it's not like their news reporters it has nothing to do with them. maybe they thought they were breaking news onto twitter no one heard of? what the heck

 

[Low Key]

Strange. I didn't notice the slow down and I was on the net pretty much from 3pm CST, when he was pronounced dead, until 8pm.

 

[IxionIndustries]

You know, I won't be surprised when he comes back from the dead singing "Thriller"..

Who would be more popular than Michael Jackson?

I care about Obama. In fact I care about him more than our leader.
Yeah probably. Or if they had the internet back when Jesus was around ;D

 

[Low Key]

I care about Obama. In fact I care about him more than our leader.

But why?

Not in regards of caring about him, but rather caring about him more than your own government. That seems rather absurd.

It does, until you remember that all we hear of our government at the moment is how much money they took from taxes to repair the roofs of their houses and other shit, whereas Obama is in charge of one of the world's most powerful countries and is a highly intelligent man. When my government stops dicking about, then I'll start caring again.

Umm...our government takes our money for dumb things too, ya know. 25% of my check gets taken every payday, and I don't even make that much money in a year.

So? It's still a valid reason to temporarily stop giving a shit, this isn't a competition.
And I don't remember hearing anything about Americas government taking money from taxes to pay for:
Sofas and chairs, a microwave, cleaning a swimming pool, Christmas tree decorations, a bicycle, a computer, pot plants, an LCD TV, a DVD player, a vacuum cleaner, a house for somebody's ducks...

The list goes on.

I'm not trying to make it a competition, I'm just saying our government is just as screwed up as everyone elses, with or without Obama.

Have you seen pictures of government offices in America? I wish I could live so good. And the stimulus money...$1.3mil is going to stablize a bridge that is going to be torn down anyways...nuff said.

It appears our so-called leaders are equally as stupid.

 

[headshotcatcher]

Just look at the fucking picture and tell me he should have lived. Really..

He's more racist than most KKK members and he's (probably) a raging pedophile..

Sure he made revolutionary music but the world didn't cry when Hitler died did it? (Seeing as he got Germany out of a huge crisis, probably a bigger feat than making revolutionary music)

Don't mean to be rude I'm just shocked by the ammount of support Michael Jackson has/had..

Agreed. I have no problem with Obama, he is just another puppet in a long line of puppets. He's been only put there to represent and advertise how awesome the government is, and everyone living in the US should be eternally grateful to live there, and everyone not living in the US should be eternally terrified of the mighty US power. Just wait and see, the US will do something stupid soon, like the Iraqi war, and they need someone publicly presentable to take the fall for it. After that, they'll find some other nice guy to "defeat" the "evil Obama administration" and bring the "revolution". Bah, it's ultimately circular.
