[Scum]

Been confirmed on BBC. :-(

 

[darkwings]

sigh, GAF jumping the gun again. CNN has appearently not confirmed his death.

 

[vilmer_]

cardiac arrest and heart attacks are different things.

Exactly. With sudden cardiac arrest, you have about 2-3 minutes to get help otherwise it's over.

 

[Mik2121]

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

fuck off.

 

[ßig]

My dream was to see him in concert.............

 

[Walshicus]

BBC confirmed.

 

[jakncoke]

I hope some mod goes through this thread with swat gear and does a mass ban

 

[Flo_Evans]

RIP

going to go home and jam MJ all night long

 

[KibblesBits]

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.

behold, a callous junior member appears!

reload the page dude

i was like no...
then...
fuck...

 

[krypt0nian]

Didn't realize Jackson a close relative of yours.

What difference would that make? He's someone's relative and means far more to many than 99.99% of the world will.

Show some fucking respect or get the fuck out.

 

[AlexMogil]

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

not since 1986

 

[Leonsito]

Jacko

Billie Jean bitches, Billie Jean, best song ever.

 

[Sadist]

Fuck you.

Easy man, easy. I'm with you, but getting all riled up won't help you.

 

[Hachimaki]

Thriller's playing on MTV right now. I remember when I was kid this video scared the living daylights out of me when he turned into a werewolf.

 

[Mdk7]

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

I'll buy Thriller on iTunes in a few minutes just to celebrate his genius.

On HUGE LETTERS:

Reports: Michael Jackson dead

 

[PSGames]

This argument is irrelevant. MJ will now skyrocket past them.

So fucking true. And if that album he was working on with will.i.am gets released I expected it to be one of the biggest selling of all time.

Jesus this is SAD. REST IN PEACE MJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(((((((((((((((((((

 

[Kaako]

Atleast 10 people just called me right now. I called my close friend who is in love with the King as well. This fucking sucks...RIP Michael. Still shook up.

 

[Zenith]

There's a time and a place.

HE JUST DIED.

Why the fuck make sick jokes right now about rape and being a zombie and all this bullshit.

Rest In Peace Michael, you are a hero and inspiration to the music industry forever.

If you have nothing nice to say, then just remain quiet and keep it to yourself.

They're not jokes. I'm just disgusted at the massive hypocrisy over the people proclaiming him "a hero" and sticking their heads in the sand. Were you there for O.J. too?

 

[donkeymonkey]

R.I.P Michael.
Forever and always THE MOTHERFUCKING KING, PERIOD.

Thanks for all the memories.

 

[EXGN]

RIP Michael =\ Definitely gonna be listening to some MJ tonight, gonna put it on at the bar and have a drink.

 

[Gaborn]

Who got banned for a joke, junior?

Well, Guybrush did, but that was mainly because he used "homosexual" and "pedophile" interchangably, when there is some question of whether MJ was either.

 

[jakershaker]

After listening to Billie Jean, Thriller, Beat It, Bad, Black or White, Smooth Criminal and more it feels better. The music will live on and be as kickass as ever. Always a sure bet to fire up a party with some MJ tunes, now and forever.

 

[Dre]

I hope some mod goes through this thread with swat gear and does a mass ban

So far two people have been banned in here.

 

[wolfmat]

Let's hope that the other dude who said he'd kill himself if MJ dies tonight on one of the first pages thinks it over.

Michael, your music was fucking awesome. Rest in peace.

 

[big black woman]

Exactly. With sudden cardiac arrest, you have about 2-3 minutes to get help otherwise it's over.

i'd say more like 6-8 mins before your brain starts to die, but yea its pretty quick.

 

[NomarTyme]

sigh, GAF jumping the gun again. CNN has appearently not confirmed his death.

Nope. CNN is just stringing people.

 

[Vestal]

THRILLER ON MTV..

MTV I may hate what you have done to your channel and general pop culture, but this is classy........ First time I tune your channel in 10 years.

 

[Mama Robotnik]

BBC are now confirming he has died.

 

[Yixian]

I don't want to say I don't give a fuck because it's sad when

Spoiler

almost

anyone dies, and if he really has died, and of a heart attack, it's a painful way to go, but putting it in perspective, how many hundreds of people die across the world every hour? People that have done great, selfless things in their life that nobody will ever know about?

 

[Tarazet]

LA TIMES HAS IT SOURCED FROM LA CITY AND LAW OFFICIALS HE IS DEAD. DEAD DEAD DEAD.

You should post this once a minute until it gets locked so people get it.

 

[Vgamer]

MTV is playing Thriller now

 

[Cronen]

The BBC just confirmed it on their live feed on their site. Wow.

RIP.

 

[JimmyV]

Who got banned for a joke, junior?

lol, you show him!

 

[PantherLotus]

Rest in Peace. You were a weirdo, but you brought joy to the hearts of millions.


GAF: Can you name a bigger and more famous person on the planet right now? This is the biggest death since Princess Diana and is probably bigger. Bigger than Elvis. Bigger than the Beatles. This is huge. And awful.

 

[NekoFever]

BBC's confirmed that he's dead

[BravoSuperStar]

RIP jacko, thriller is a hell of an album.

 

[MrPing1000]

yeah, but how many of them made thriller?

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

@ those arguing who was more popular or influential MJ or the Beatles/Elvis/ETC.
First of all shut up no one fucking cares about you!
2nd please keep in mind that MJ was a Minority!

I'm out, RIP MJ.

ABC easy as 123.

 

[permutated]

Well, Guybrush did, but that was mainly because he used "homosexual" and "pedophile" interchangably, when there is some question of whether MJ was either.

Holy shit for how long?

 

[legend166]

I blame it on the boogie.
