I'm sure MJ is a cool guy, and I'm not bashing him to be cool ...

But I don't give a FUCK about some guy who grabs his crotch and does the moon walk on screen. I don't give a fuck about his zombie music video or him touching little kids and giving them "Jesus Wine".

I care about MJ as much as the 56 years old guy who makes me coffee while I play poker at the casino.

People like to make a big deal whenever an actor, athlete, or a singer dies ... but what about Joe the Garbage Man.

Isn't his job equally important?

I don't see MJ driving in a garbage truck 6:00 AM and taking out your garbage bags (filled with process food, used condoms, and your vintage dildo you don't use anymore)

Nor does he ask you how you like your coffee at 3:00 AM in the morning while you play poker at the casino.

No, he just sings and grabs his crotch on screen.

Big ... fuckin' ... deal.

Danc1122

Agreed.

Well the garbage man doesn't entertain anyone so fuck him!

Economics 101 - Supply and Demand

Everyone wants Jacko's Music. Only Jacko can supply it.

Everyone Wants their garbage collected. Almost everyone can (potentially) supply that service.

Ergo Jacko is more important.

As soon as you realise you probably aren't that important, the happier you will be. I am sorry, but a (individual) garbageman is not as important as Jacko. Just like I am not as important as Barack Obama.

That sucks for both me and the garbo, but that's life.

Sucks he died, but whatever, fuck him. People die everyday.

The only Celeb/Idol I've ever really cared about dying is Billy Mays. RIP Billy.

TRD23

Never heard it described like this, I love it.

What's a Michael Jackson

I think the country has taken a brain dump. Has anybody noticed that 7 US soldiers, and 2 Canadian soldiers died in Afghanistan's scorching desert in the past couple of days? No disrespect meant to Jacko, but this is clearly being hyped by the press far beyond its importance.

I agree. 7 US soldiers, 2 Canadian, and then the other day 4-5 British soldiers were killed and our news says nothing. I think our country needs to get its priorities straight as that is part of the reason we are in the mess we are today from school shootings to the economy.

That's if you care about the fake war and the us geo-political agenda. Which I don't.

Speaking of garbage men, have you ever really considered how much power they have over your life? Credit card reports, bank statements, old credit cards, logs and bills, etc.

And even though I have a shredder, remember that

i dont give 2 shits about him dying or his memorial service, i wish it could all just go away ... why do i feel this way? because thousands of others probably died on the same day, and they weren't fondling little boys -havent heard shit about them

NetMillion

I am so sick of hearing idiots talk about how overhyped Michael Jackson's death is. It is not overhyped at all, if anything its underhyped. You obviously know nothing about music. What do you expect to happen when one of the most influencial/innovative musical artists/entertainers to ever live dies? You think they should mention it for 5 minutes on your local news station?

Bottom line is, Michael Jackson is fuckin huge and has done ALOT in the world of music and entertainment, give the guy some respect. Nobody knows for sure what happened as far as child molestation, but he was found -not guilty- in every case. Accusations don't make someone guilty of a crime.

invisible777

That's nice. Why don't our fallen soldiers get this kind of treatment?

guysmy

at least the garbageman doesn't have everyone criticizing his personal life.

i only care about MJ's ability as a musician and entertainer. if you tried to write your own music and perform you would realize the magnitude of his talent.

Not to mean any disrespect to fallen soldiers, but can you honestly recall the names of the last 5 men to die in Iraq? There are many soldiers out in Iraq, and many die. So as a nation we decided to have a Remembrance Day to remember them.. at least I think you guys do (I'm in Canada).

You're right, and I made an awkward analogy. I just feel like a serviceman or woman should go out like this, not some deranged singer.

bluebuddha

People die everyday, but they're generally insignificant. I don't care about Joe the garbage man because 1) I don't know him, and 2) he's expendable. That doesn't mean a person has to be both 1 and 2 to qualify as being significant. Neda the Iranian girl is expandable and not somebody I know, but she happened to die and be caught on camera, and that's what matters. Her death was talked about, thought about, it has consequences. MJ's death is the same, and so is Billy Mays'.

The fact that you're starting a thread about MJ shows his significance. He means something to you, positive or negative is irrelevant. You don't care about MJ, nor the fact that he died, but at the same time nobody cares that you care whether MJ died or not. I can start a anti-anti-MJ thread, but it's probably as irrelevant and useless as this thread, at least in the sense that it provides no real value to anyone, nor poses anything revolutionary or even remotely new. Nobody I know "cares" about MJ dying, and I'm sure I have more than a few friends who still have no idea that MJ died. I don't get why this needs to be pointed out though.

Truth is, no matter how much all of us on WickedFire hate MJ and anyone who's not a marketer like Billy Mays, MJ probably has more awards and achievements than all of us on WickedFire will ever have, combined. Not that this is necessarily a good thing. And on a side note, even though I've only heard the most popular songs by MJ (and probably only 3-4 in total), there's no doubt that the man is talented as fuck. Liking his music or not doesn't change this fact.

Regarding the media...

This past weekend, I was talking with a few friends about the media's role in the U.S. My friends felt the media had a responsibility to cover certain topics. I disagree. Media companies are for-profit enterprises. Their only responsibility is to their shareholders and creditors. If that means covering an entertainment artist while ignoring dead soldiers, so be it. If that means covering a slain NFL star while ignoring Cap and Trade (the most expensive piece of legislation this country has ever seen) so be it.

As long as media companies legally cater to their customers, they are doing their job. The beauty of this system is that each of us can choose what we consume.

As for a topic being overly hyped, well, it *is* the media. The line between CNN and TMZ is a fine one. At least, TMZ is honest about delivering what their customers want to consume.

16 out of 70 channels are broadcasting his memorial right now, for me at least.

BeerNuts

I agree, you already lost just by making this thread. Sure he went bat nuts crazy but before that he influenced more people than all of wickedfire ever will. Give him his week on TV.
