Wow, I absolutely cannot believe this.

RIP, king of pop. You will be sorely missed

 

[Barrett2]

Oh god, who cares about Farah Fawcett??!! NOBODY!!!

Get back to celebs people actually give a shit about, NBC!

 

[NomarTyme]

who is saying its not confirmed?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/

Denial man.

 

[Garcia]

I'll be in denial for the rest of this day. >|

 

[Xeke]

WTF? How does a wealthy person die at age 50? Suicide?

It's called a heart attack, they hit both wealthy and poor.

 

[mrgone]

Fucking massive improvement from Hot Chicks With Douchebags: The TV show.

I didn't think they actually played music anymore. Sucks that someone has to die to bring it back for a while

 

[Blyss]

Jesus christ, I can't believe it.

Rest in peace Michael Jackson, you were great.

 

[camineet]

CNN.com

Entertainer Michael Jackson has died after being taken to a hospital on Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest, according to multiple reports including the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press. CNN has not confirmed his death.

 

[Madvillain]

rest in peace. will be loved forever.

 

[Renshi]

RIP Micheal Jackson.

 

[Sharp]

I'm looking forward to some good music being played on the radio for the next few weeks, at least.

 

[Zeliard]

Sad thing is that MJ had just passed a full physical to get ready for his upcoming world tour, which was to start in two weeks.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Ed McMahon, Farah Fawcett, MJ...

Jesus Christ! Who called this in the other thread?

RIP MJ :'(

 

[MisterHero]

WTF? How does a wealthy person die at age 50? Suicide?

he's human?

 

[2 Minutes Turkish]

I so didn't expect this when starting this thread.

Figured he'd just pull through.

FUCK ME MAN. FUCK

 

[Flunkie]

This blows. I didn't even really care for the guy (never really gave him a chance though), but to see him die at such a young age, especially in anticipation of such a tour, is terrible.

I hate to see him go.

 

[CB3]

? All i see is Rob & Big on MTV. is it a special channel?

 

[MNC]

Rest in peace Michael Jackson. Fuck.

 

[KHarvey16]

you guys are coming out in full force. seriously you ban someone for cracking a joke on a guy that in all likely hood was a pedo. the power of celebrity. how many times did he settle these things out of court? isnt that an admittance of guilt? here is some money now hush hush. anyways just because a guy is a celebrity means you cant say somthing about someone when they die? we should all remember the good MJ when he was grabbing his own balls right? people die all day everyday its part of life. its a sad day for alot of people. get over yourselfs.

Who got banned for a joke, junior?

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

aaand cue the cyclical GAF "LOL [insert deprecating joke]" and then the "HOW COULD YOU. SOMEBODY DIED." and repeat it 10x since it's Micheal Jackson

 

[Naka]

Listening to Thriller 25th Anniversary Edition to honor the King of Pop. Sad day.

 

[NekoFever]

Whatever shit he got up to, and he's clearly been mentally ill for some time, the man was a legend, one of the best musicians of the 20th Century and one of the greatest showmen to have ever lived. I'm sure if I'd grown up with them the deaths of Elvis or John Lennon would have been bigger, but this guy defined my childhood and I'm going to remember him for that.

 

[NomarTyme]

? All i see is Rob & Big on MTV. is it a special channel?

Indeed. Where is my Micheal special?

 

[YYZ]

What the hell does David Carradine have to do to get noticed?

Die while strangling himself in order to heighten his orga? -- oh wait.

 

[Acosta]

Thanks for the music Michael, I will always remember you. RIP

 

[neojubei]

I still cannot believe it.

 

[Barbacoatl]

I still cannot believe this. Wow.

 

[anaron]

Oh shit. :O

 

[Azure J]

Jesus this is terrible. I'm actually kinda shivering thinking about this one. The celebrity curse struck again. It's really scary.

RIP Michael. I'll be sure to bump the tunes for as long as possible upon hearing this. And to all you fucks who don't understand what it means to have some tact, fuck you. Fuck you right between the motherfucking eye sockets with a rusty nail.

 

[Borgnine]

WTF? How does a wealthy person die at age 50? Suicide?

When CNN was waiting for news they had some expert on saying that 50 is actually pretty old for men and that cardiac arrest is not uncommon. They also mentioned it was more prevalent with African American males, which we must remember, Michael was.

 

[Dracos]

You never know what's coming for ya.

 

[TheProDaniel]

Whhhhhhhhy? :'( RIP Michael. I know what I will be getting drunk and dancing to tonight!

Fuck you.

 

[Cherubae]

This is unbelievable.

My parents didn't let me go see the Victory Tour when it was in town, and now I'll never get to see him in concert

Holy crap :'(

 

[I AM JOHN!]

Breaking news from my AIM:

Elvis says he asked Jimi and Kurt, and nobody's seen MJ yet

 

[ezekial45]

To all you assholes talking shit about MJ....

"He made Thriller.....Thriller."

 

[Xeke]

I still fully expect that drugs played a role in this.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Fawcett video memory tributes have been put on hold.

The Prince is dead.

RIP

 

[big black woman]

It's called a heart attack, they hit both wealthy and poor.

cardiac arrest and heart attacks are different things.

 

[Wes]

My condolences to his friends and family.

An icon and an immense pop talent.

 

[NomarTyme]

Breaking news from my AIM:

:/

 

[Door2Dawn]

Guys HE DID NOT DIE FROM A HEART ATTACK. HE DIED FROM CARDIAC ARREST

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

Thriller is playing on MTV right now.

 

[seat]

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

Didn't realize Jackson was a close relative of yours.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

One of my earliest memories was listening to this man sing Ben. Later, I grew to appreciate his other great songs, and even his last album left a credible mark. Usually, I'm not one to fuss over the deaths of people unconnected to me, but his creative volume in my life ensures that he'll be truly missed.

RIP.

 

[commissar]

This is sad, sad news to wake up to

Goodbye Michael.

 

[Frillen]

NOOOOOO! RIP!!!

 

[Lemonz]

This really sucks.

Goodbye Michael Jackson.

 

[KHarvey16]

cardiac arrest and heart attacks are different things.

CNN taught me that! It's one of those teachable moments.

 

[italianfreak240]

WOW Just walked in and BAM in the face. Sad day indeed. RIP
