To all you begrudgers of a bit of comic reaction, I hope y'all enjoy the view from the moral high ground.

As said earlier, let the mourners mourn and let the jokers joke (in good taste obviously), it is AH after all.

RIP Michael.

Sky News is going all "Jade Goody" on it now... repeating the same interviews again and again.. showing the same aerial shot of of hospital in LA and re-iterating "in case you haven't heard.. Michael Jackson, The King of Pop' is dead.

Time to watch something a bit more upbeat!

I bet talks of a movie of his life story will be announced in the next few weeks with someone like Johnny Depp to play "white" Michael Jackson. Hollywood will jump all over this

Very sad loss.

RIP Michael..

I'm of an age were I remember the lads wearing the white socks and the lame imitation leather jackets to look like Michael Jackson!

He defined a generation of music and will be missed. Regardless of what went on in his personal life he was a great musician. I don't think he had the easiest upbringing himself so there was bound to be some wierdness in his life.

R.I.P.

Yep, there's be a frenzy alright. But its pretty huge news you've gotta admit. Probably the most iconic musician to die since John Lennon.

Johnny Cash far more influential IMO

As people have been saying, regardless of his flaws he entertained endlessly throughout his life, and he will be missed.

Wow, he's dead, good singer, good artist, one great album but he was let's face it really messed up, probably due to his father. Still I find it hard to feel sad about someone who squandered his money on a theme park for young children whom he admitted sleeping with.

Inevitable with any celebrity death.

Blame my mother, shes the one balling her eyes out..

so ssshhh, don't tell anyone!
C'mon though, he was a younger and skinnier version of elvis with a high-pitched voice.
Can't get over it though, he's actually dead..:(

Why should we if we think its distasteful towards his three young children.

That's the second reference to John Lennon on this thread which is a bit OTT.

One reason, Lennon was assasinated.

Boards.ie is a disgrace.

Maybe its an Irish thing to be so heartless about three young children losing their father.

I have gone through this thread thrice trying to remove anything offensive. Please continue to report any posts.

I can understand your POV but just for now, for tonight lets have an RIP thread. Since we are all logged on here and all and the man was a musical legend. Lets spend the night sleeping thinking about funny jokes to tell over the water cooler and not go down the path of demanding the freedom to anonymously poke fun at the dead some hours after they have died.

Fair enough, its a matter of opinion and I won't argue with you. But the point is he was a true legend. "Legend" is an overused word but its not hyperbole to claim that Jacko was the King of Pop and the best in the world at doing what he did.
