Dead Michael Jackson jokes!

You know, its funny. MJ dies and the world mourns, its all over the news. One of us dies? Nothing. Nothing at all. Not even a comment in the lifestyle section. What a ****ed up world.

Any of us are 'just' 'normal' people. I don't think or would expect that anyone in the UK would care about my death. Or any random person who lives in my city that I simply don't know for that matter, which is why my death won't get any media attention, except for maybe an obituary in the local newspaper.

It's not that difficult to fathom...

Well yeah, but then MJ was an icon who touched (no pun) the lives of millions. A lot of people, as you probably have seen on TV take his death as if someone close to them has died. Which warrants at least some media attention to his death.

I get what you said and I agree with you 110%, but still, you know?

People should only mourn those who they care about or those who have affected them personally (Which, in my opinion, is the only reason you should care).

So, to answer this quote, and the one above; because millions and millions and millions, arguably billions of people, cared about Michael Jackson. Because he gave them something that enhanced their lives and made it more enjoyable. He sold a quarter of a billion albums and those albums seemingly have joy and happiness to all those who bought them.

Have any of us? No.

If you don't care, then I defend that. The reason this wouldn't happen for us is because we've not done anything to earn it.

The people who care for us would mourn us, and that's all we could and SHOULD ask for. Just like the people who care for Michael Jackson are mourning him. Well, there are bandwagoners, but there always are.

If it was a reality star, who had zero talent, I'd agree. It wasn't though. Stop trying to be cooly rebellious.

Yeah I know, but why is his death "more important?" So he was the king of pop, big deal. Doesn't make his life more important than mine, or yours, or Bardocks, etc;

His death, is ''more important'' than ours, because he meant more (to a lot of people) than we do, as I said.

RJ knows that, which is why I don't get any continuing questioning of the subject.

Even he doesn't, hence why he ended with "But still, ya know?".

No, we don't. Explain, RJ.

What additional issues do you have?

Your post and Slay's did put it in perspective for me though.

The amount of people shouldn't matter to you. It's your own feelings and impact from that person that count.
