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.

Did you know him personally? If so, then I'm sorry for your loss. If not, you do realize that there will be absolutely no impact on you? You can still listen to all his music just the same, no reason to miss him.

Bands and singers have always seemed so surreal and inhuman to me. Starting to go to concerts (Rise Against, Puddle of Mudd, to name two) helped a bit, but I still doubt I could truly care if someone died. Like T-Bag from Pure Pwnage, the only thing that bothered me was that they haven't released an episode for half a year now since his death!

he was an amazing singer, and its sad that he's gone but in all brutal honesty I'm getting rather sick and tired of the news about his death.

Yes! We get it, he's dead! no need to mention every single little quip about it, show respect towards the star by taking the spotlight away from him and his family so they can mourn in peace!

honestly, the only thing I've heard all day is stuff to do with MJ... it does get a little tiring after a while.

cudos on breaking the internet though
