Hehe, I liked Jesse Jackson's wording in the article.
'Do not self-destruct'
He is aware this isn't Futurama...?

Since I personally know a fanatical Michael Jackson fan, this is actually rather frightening to me.
I think he killed himself. The timing says it all. He dies just when he hired (or bought or whatever) a nice, big, lonely villa in whatever city there was, and suddenly just drops dead. I think that he took one too many pills on purpose. But he was already dead inside. The real MJ that everyone loved and adored has been gone for years.
But why would people follow him to death? Were they hoping to meet him in heaven? Would they enjoy a nice cup of tea accompanied by lovely ladies giving them blowjobs (and possibly a little child for MJ if the allegations were true, which I don't believe)? MJ wouldn't want to bring company to heaven, he just wanted to, or did accidentally, die. He isn't the reason to live. He isn't the source of the Lifestream (FFVII reference). Think this way, if you like his music, you can't listen to it when you're dead. You never met Jackson in real life, you didn't kill yourself then (or maybe you did meet him).

People need to grow up. The man's dead and that's the end of it.
Sure, he was a wonderful man, a fantastic singer, an accomplished dancer, and a man who rose above the whole kid-fiddling thing, but he is now probably decomposing in the ground somewhere. That's no reason commit suicide or, may the gods forbid, commit a mass suicide.
Come on, people! What are the first three letters of the word "Funeral"? We shouldn't actually be sad for the fact the man's dead, but we should be happy for the things he did while he was alive. He did Thriller and we imitated the Moonwalk.
Or you can not give a rat's ass about the whole thing, like me.

If they're dumb enough to kill themselves over a celebrity's death, let em, I don't want people like that having kids and making the world even worse. Guess natural selection hasn't disappeared completely.
i was actually pretty upset when he died, even though i was born in 1991 i was introduced to him at a very young age and bought thriller, bad and dangerous on cassette before I was 8 years old. i have since bought them on cd and listen to bad and thriller pretty often (i'm not a big dangerous fan). when he announced those shows i was really pleased, i thought my first real music idol was gonna get back on his feet (i tried to get tickets but was too late, luckily enough) so when i found he died i was pretty crushed but not nearly enough for suicide for christ's sake, and it only lasted for a day or two. it was more of a sense of disappointment than real sadness
the weird thing is, though, that i downloaded Off the Wall the day before he died and had spent the thursday listening to it two or three times. it was a strange coincidence that i spent the day before he unexpectedly died listening to his music on pretty much a continuous loop.

Oh, dear. People are dropping the Darwin Bomb.
It's all "improving the gene pool" this and "natural selection" that and "no more dumb offspring" the other thing.
Why not present mature statements?
If these people are fanatical enough to kill themselves over this whole thing, then I'm not going on a crusade to stop them, but these people could have been productive, intelligent human beings. And don't forget, they're not only destroying their own lives, but they have families and friends who will not be getting griefless sleep for the next few days.

Like the seven people who committed suicide because the LHC was going to be turned on...Eclectic Dreck said:

I am not sure if I am the pinnacle of evolutionary fitness, but the fact that they killed themselves makes me far more worthy/capable of passing on my genes. And the reason why they did it makes me believe the gene pool and society in general will be better of now.Oolinthu said:
well, i heard they had suicide hotlines about when Take That split up... don't know if anybody actually killed themselves, but if so the joke's on them, because the band's back together now...
What the fuck?
I don't think he's acctually dead.
It's a ploy to get out of his massive amounts of dept and earn shit loads from the album sales increase.
Plus everyone hated him not that long ago, why does everyone suddenly love him?
