[SnakeswithLasers]

wow.

 

[zhenming]

holy fuck.....

 

[paparazzo]

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.

no u

 

[FromTheFuture]

Shit. RIP MJ! You got a lot more flak than you deserved

 

[Rewrite]

Rest in Peace, Michael Jackson.

 

[PantherLotus]

It should be noted that Michael Jackson videos single-handedly built MTV, and thus, VIACOMM.

 

[Zeke]

i don't think I've seen Gaf this riled up about a famous persons death before kinda odd

 

[kamorra]

shit, shit, shit. Way too early. RIP

i don't think I've seen Gaf this riled up about a famous persons death before kinda odd

Michael Jackson Michael Jackson

 

[Boozeroony]

Very sad. Thriller is so badass.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

I will never forget waiting to hear Billy Jean when plowing down innocent people in GTA: Vice City. RIP.

 

[KHarvey16]

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

Didn't think it was a joke. He was either being very stupid or communicating an idea very badly.

Not the time, not the place.

 

[TheKingsCrown]

this is a horrific, horrific day and story.

its like a piece of all the people of the world was just eradicated in a single swoop.

 

[PhoenixDark]

I'll never understand why mother fuckers with absolutely nothing to contribute continue to enter death threads and make shitty posts. Take that to 4chan

 

[bistromathics]

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

if somebody is shot and they end up dying from organ failure, it's not wrong to say they died from the gunshot.

 

[Mik2121]

They are talking about Michael Jackson AGAIN on Japanese TV for 3rd time in 40 mins on the same channel. If this isn't big I don't know...


And yeah, they are saying, again, that he is dead. For you guys not believing it yet..

So yeah, they have spent 20 mins in the last 40 mins to talk about MJ.

 

[I AM JOHN!]

Can we get out of here?

NO, I'M ENJOYING THIS!!

Except I'm not. :'(

Great point. MTV really does owe alot to MJ looking back on it.

 

[dankir]

RIP

 

[big black woman]

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

he might not technically be "dead" but his brain is probably too fucked up to wake up from a coma. So he's as good as dead, unless he was an organ donor in which they could possibly use his.

 

[NullPointer]

One of my earliest and happy memories was watching the premiere of Thriller on MTV with the whole family. Those were such different times.

Farewell sweet prince.

 

[Dracos]

Time to break out the bootleg Moonwalker dvd.

 

[Vestal]

GREATEST FUCKING VIDEO E V E R

 

[The Chosen One]

Just found out about 10 minutes ago.

Just wow. I'm stunned.

Now I know how it feels to have a major generational icon die.

 

[JCX]

Not a good day to be a celeb in LA. RIP MJ, your music was mostly good and your impact on pop culture is undeniable.

 

[YagizY]

It's sad seeing how in the age of internet anonymity people still say fucked up shit about someone they didn't really know after they died.

I'm sure he did some wrong things in his lifetime but RIP. No one really deserves to be shitted on after death.

 

[Ciel]

Goodbye Michael.

 

[Darko]

WHAT THE FUCK :'(

 

[StrikerObi]

It's sad that it takes the death of the "King of Pop" to get MTV to play a music video during hours when people are awake. Hopefully they'll show all of Captain EO as well.

 

[permutated]

How many other artists can claim 9 out of 11 tracks on a single album hitting the Top 10 in an age where Pop music actually meant something.

MJ was a fucking legend and anyone who makes fun of him deserves to be banned.

 

[radrelic]

I'm teary eyed right now, this is surreal

 

[Garcia]

I wast just youtubing all his videos a couple of weeks ago, and now this happens. RIP Michael.... God damnit.

 

[krypt0nian]

Evilore should add it to the TOS specifically.

 

[epitome]

Who got banned for a joke, junior?

how many posts in here are saying ban this fool or ban this guy or people need to get banned for this shit etc

this is what i was referring to senior

 

[Xeke]

fuck off.

Oh because and overdose would be such a shocking thing ala Heath Ledger.

 

[Kusagari]

R.I.P. The King

It's the King of Pop, man.

 

[Jaroof]

This is so sad...

 

[Nakazato]

agreed

 

[jonnybryce]

Thank you MTV.

I am so seriously sad it's ridiculous.

 

[Kyoufu]

IM SO FUCKING SAD FUCK

:'(

He was my childhood idol, I even used to do his dances at junior school

 

[Marvie_3]

THRILLER ON MTV

man, so bittersweet....fucking amazing but terrible reason to be playing it :-\

Yeah, it's almost hard to watch.....

 

[TreIII]

....Think it'll be time to bust out Moonwalker and Space Channel 5, in his memory.

You were crazy, but it will DEFINITELY not be the same without you, Mike. RIP.

 

[krypt0nian]

Quoted the wrong person?

 

[Corum]

I blame it on the boogie.








sorry : (

About 20 people on facebook have already used that line.

Spoiler

I lol'ed

RIP MJ

 

[vatstep]

I'll never forget that I heard this news first on GAF. :/

R.I.P. No one will ever be bigger.

 

[rollingstart]

really? fuck

what the fuck

what

RIP

 

[Foxix Von]

God... rest in peace Michael.

We're gonna miss you =/

 

[MrPing1000]

Can't help but think we'll see a few superfan suicides.

 

[Crag Dweller]

Like all the other cool kids in the early 70's I was a Jackson 5 fan instead of an Osmond fan. RIP Michael, you'll be missed.
