:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol



no

Michael Jackson was THE KING

Lennon actually had an impact on this world and the way people think.

I love Thriller but it isn't life changing shit.

 

[Dabookerman]

Are there a lot of pedo discussions going on.. wow ..

 

[krypt0nian]

I hope that some little bit of horror enters the lives of those who come into a death thread and shit all over someone.

[seat]

RIP.

I wonder how many children he raped.

His music helped shaped and define my childhood, but I admit it's hard for me to get sad and worked up over his death due to the monster he became.

 

[avaya]

Elvis sold more albums, in a shorter career, than MJ did, so I'm not sure how MJ ranks biggest singer ever.

[SonicMegaDrive]

I'm listening to 'Off the Wall' right now.

=( =(

 

[lunarworks]

Now that he's gone, let's forget about everything he did in the last 15 years. Let's remember when he was talented and gave us amazing music.

I wonder if he'll take on the same legendary status of Elvis.

 

[Souldriver]

HAI GUYS MJ WAS TOTALLY BIGGER THAN ELVIS

It is Elvis > Madonna > MJ > Madonna > John Lennon > Princess Di > Elvis

OBVIOUSLY






Uh, gaf is full of fucktards.

 

[bengraven]

Still dozens of people I know insisting he's in a coma.

Fucking update CNN.com you assholes.

 

[Amory]

Sad.

RIP.

 

[Kola]

CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SHIT

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

CBS just reported that he is officially dead...But still up and kicking.

 

[vilmer_]

RIP Michael

I would be that one.

 

[MIMIC]

The AP is confirming it now.

 

[Mato]

People who live in the US and UK don't seem to realise how big MJ and Madonna are global wise. Elvis and Beatles are only memorised as american and british icons respectively. MJ and M are always thought of as MEGA GIGA worldwide.


MJ dieing is atomic bomb.

 

[Ninja Face]

geoffkeighleyLittle known fact: Michael Jackson invited EA execs to Neverland a few years ago to pitch them on Thriller II as a videogame. EA passed.

[besada]

I dunno thriller itself sold over 30 million ww.

Elvis sold over a billion, with a b, albums in his life-time, one of the two musical acts to do so. The other is the Beatles.

MJ comes in just under those two.

 

[Eric WK]

CNN HAS NOT CONFIRMED he's dead.

Anderson Cooper isn't in the emergency room yet so they can't. Don't worry, the LA Times, Associated Press and NBC News are wrong.

 

[Tobor]

CNN HAS NOT CONFIRMED he's dead.

/puts his hand on DoctorWho's shoulder

It's time to let it go, Doc.

 

[Xeke]

Worldwide, MJ is the biggest musician of all time. It's not even close.

The fuck are you babbling about. The Beatles are the highest selling recording act in history.

John Lennon affected so much more than album sales, like war protests, civil rights...You know, things that actually matter.

 

[I AM JOHN!]

New York Times is citing LA Times. Can we just someone to confirm the story without citing someone else. >:|

 

[6.8]

WOW WTF SHOCK NEWS

RIP

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

RIP.

I wonder how many children he raped.

Wow you're a fucking douche.

RIP Michael Jackson.
He was a musical genius.

The fuck are you babbling about. The Beatles are the highest selling recording act in history.

Doesn't he own all the Beatles music? Plus maybe he meant how Thriller is the #1 selling album of all-time?

 

[NomarTyme]

The AP is confirming it now.

Well if people needed further proof.

 

[Gallbaro]

This is a tremendous moment in civil rights, it defies the stewart media scale.

A old black man>Millions of Iranians + Pretty white woman.

 

[Bob White]

I haven't seen this level of deification and sheer denial over the negative parts of his life since Ronald Reagan.

qft

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

I dunno thriller itself sold over 30 million ww.

100-109 million

[syllogism]

Can you people shut up about CNN, seriously since when they are the authority on anything

 

[KolosLazar16]

Goodbye MJ goodbye thread

 

[The Elite]

Flip to the station. They say they haven't confirmed it.

EDIT: OK fine, he's dead Jim.

 

[besada]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums_worldwide

Yes, that's a single album. Now go look up all time sales.

 

[JaseMath]

He will return...someday...

 

[Walshicus]

wasnt he gonna have his last concert too?

Bunch of guys where I work had box tickets at the O2... I think they'd kind of assumed the tour could be cancelled, but this wasn't the way any of us expected it.

 

[Eric WK]

The fuck are you babbling about. The Beatles are the highest selling recording act in history.

And The Beatles aren't John Lennon.

 

[JimmyV]

Well you know what they say, deaths come in 3's, MJ, Farrah Fawcett, and Ed McMahon :'(


RIP guys!

 

[RiZ III]

He's not dead, he's in a coma. Also, it was never proven that he molested anyone as far as I can remember. It's not like it was an OJ trial where everyone knew he was guilty, the stories and the people claiming it were shady at best.

 

[DSK123]

CNN.com: "Multiple reports: Michael Jackson has died at 50"

 

[KibblesBits]

This is a sad day.

 

[jonnybryce]

CBS just reported that he is officially dead...But still up and kicking.

GTFO

 

[Rewrite]

Can we fucking make a lesson out of all the motherfuckers in this thread cracking rape/pedo jokes please?
A legend just passed away, this shit is not funny man. Still in disbelief.

I agree with this post.

I think it's pretty fucking disrespectful. Seriously. This shit shouldn't fly in here. If you have nothing nice to say, then just remain quiet and keep it to yourself. It's pretty fucking pathetic that there's some posters in here that have the nerve to come in here and make jokes. Please just stop posting stupid comments.

 

[HUELEN10]

Same. Not until I realized the effect his death would have on video games did I truly feel for this mans death.

Yeah, MJ made gaming special...
Even though he didn't directly influence her design by any means, I will never look at Ulala in the same light...

RIP indeed

 

[Orin GA]

Wikipedia says hes dead....Thats confirmation guys.

 

[camineet]

Foxnews.com now reporting Michael Jackson is dead, via AP and LA Times.

 

[Zeke]

So....who will be number three?

uh he was number three Fawcett, McMahon, and MJ

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Flip to the station. They say they haven't confirmed it.

The LA Times isn't credible enough?

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Flip to the station. They say they haven't confirmed it.

it says LA:Times

 

[Iadien]

It's on Fox News right now, sad day.

 

[Roughmar]

CNN confirmed it.
