Michael Jackson -- Cardiac Arrest

Now playing 'The way you make me feel'

Looks like a drug-related death, apparently. I'm actually pretty surprised he went that way.
 
The moonwalk is what you get when you max out your CHA and DEX scores.

well he did get a fine tribute on the Stern show where they chopped all his audio book readings to state how much he spent on lil boys to suck his penis, and a thousand other skits done over the years

did you alll know Ed had Britney, Xtina & Justin on StarSearch. things that make you go hmmmmmmmm

It's sad that he died. but let's be honest, the interest in him and the fame he has had, for a looooong time, has not been propelled by music or dancing.

I am sorry, but while i despise MJ for what he was accused of, and I believe he did, He was a mega star that influenced probably every singer that has come on the scene in the last 20 years (except that country **** ;) ) He broke and made so many records, and literally mad middle america think what a talented young boy he was, instead of look at that talented nigger boy who sure can sing. He did a hell of alot, but his ****ed up life, apparently his drug addiction led to his demise, figuratively and literally. If he did nothing else after Thriller, he would have still been a huge impact, not only on America but teh Entire world. Just look at how many people with blind devotion to him dismiss any of the accusations. His is a tragic tale that will spawn 100's of documentary's and other films to fill in all the blanks left behind

And being 42, I think 50 is way too young for someone to go, especially somone with a personal physician. but than aagain if the Dr. sucks, you end up on the slab, no matter how much you paid him

I can not believe MJ is gone and Artie Lange is still kicking. Should make for a great Stern Show on Monday.
Artie self medicated on heroin and is in relative perfect health for a fat junkie
Michael jackson who spent so much on his personal care, may have died of a similar drug prescribed and injected by a doctor
the world is ironic enough for it to be plausible

Plan for the Future, but live everyday like it is your last, for Tomorrow is promised to noone

you need to re-read what I actually wrote. for a decade or more he's been primarily been famous for failed plastic surgery, court cases, the elephant mans' bones, etc.

i like his singing (in the early 80's) as much as anybody.

My first memory of hearing music EVER is from when I was four, my mum hoovering while "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" was on the record player...

I love that music video. Michael was actually black in it.

I don't know why he butchered his face. He was a good lookin' guy. No reason to mangle his face. Either way, he was one talented person.

I am so very sad and just am not sure what to do with myself:(

Iranians are being brutally repressed and even killed this very moment and you're all broken up over....Michael Jackson...:confused:

He was talented as all heck but let's not lose our damn minds...priorities people!
 
Racist things are being said and now is not the time. Respect him, his children and his family.

Why should we make Iran our priority?

All they would do anyways is use us for help and then turn against us like every other damned Islamic country in that cursed hell hole of the middle east.

Didn't he set it up to be cryogenicaly frozen after death so he can be thawed out and brought back to life when the technology is complete for that procedure? His monkey too?

Over Michael Jackson? I dunno, you tell me.

Whoa, I think there's some kind of miscommunication.

I'm not talking about policy -- just American priorities and perception. There's a god damned revolution in Iran right now and all we hear from the media is stories about MJ.
 
I am not ashamed to say it. My bestest friend came over and we watched the entire video library. We danced around the living room with the kids and payed a proper tribute. So fun.

He sure did pay to be frozen but you will not hear much about in coming days because he had to scale all his stuff down when he had kids to try as to not look like too much of the fruit loop. Jacksons body is either gonna be frozen or he is going up in next spaceship.

It is clear you have a problem with M.J. This is a thread about Michael Jackson and you come in to try to mess it up! The man is a Legend! So you go on and worry about Iran in a thread about Iran and leave this thread be! :(

Just saw that. I don't like to speak ill of the dead/dying, but I have no sympathy for the alleged child molester.

No sympathy for an ***ALLEGED*** child molester???
Hope you never go to jury duty.
-
You don't like to speak ill of the dead/dying???
You just did!!!

I don't care either way about him but here are some of my findings.
If he is screwed up it might well be by his parents.
Its said that hid Dad beat him and his Mom gave him hormone shots to keep his voice the same.
It is said that he was acting like a girl because of the shots.
 
I wish DEATH on child molesters!! But should there not be another thread about this? I thought this was about his death.

At least he is under some form of arrest.

Normally I would be the first one to laugh at a Michael Jackson joke, and I admit that is a good one. But I think we should respect the dead, even if they are an easy target for jokes.

Yes, I believe he did. I'm sure the monkey was hoping to become the first zombie monkey, unless there were others.
Though I bet at the moment M.J and Elvis are having a rocking good time right now.


He was so adorable when he was a child. :) If they invented a time machine tomorrow I'd go back and kidnap him. Make him sing me myself and my pet monkey for all enternity. Why did have to go before I got the chance to do so. :/
Of course theres always the chance of an alternate universe where he is still living.
Beh, its all a random mess and dream anyways.


Now a moment of silence for the poor M.J.
:'(

I don't believe he ever molested any kids..all the claims of such including the 2005 case came form people who where obviously plotting to get money.

His example in that is one of the more pronounced reasons why I think it should be illegal to announce a person has been charged with x...it should only be made public after a person has been found guilty...especially in murder, molestation, rape, and such cases.


Would be a hell of a pita to implement but it would be better then the current guilty in the media until proven innocent and then still guilty to many because they spent 8 weeks damning you for whatever and 5 minutes saying ooops we where wrong.

Mud sticks.

I don't believe he was a child molester either though he was incredibly eccentric partly due to his unusual life which meant he did not need to conform to the norms of society like the rest of us and partly due to who knows what.

I managed to watch the trial and believed he was innocent. The testimonies of the accusers were highly suspect and if I remember right they had been trying to get money off him....and the one child who slept with him and who had plenty of money, that home alone kid, made it absolutely clear that there was nothing of that nature happening.

Totally eccentric and not going in any way by the norms of our society but my guess is he was innocent.

My guess is also that it was those allegations which killed him.

P.S. I am not now and never was a Jackson fan.

P.P.S I would go for trials of this nature having anonymity unless/until a person is found guilty
