I saw Michael on the Jackson 5 Victory Tour in 1984. I was real young but remember how awesome the show was then.

 

[backflip10019]

He was a pedophile and so, it's hard to feel sad. Still, his music catalog provided a lot of interesting memories over the year. So, the man versus the legend

To quote Chappelle, "He made Thriller, man. Thriller."

 

[Wes]

Still waiting on another source.

 

[Darkman M]

Farrah also died today....

Are you kidding me? Even if he is a pedophile, should we not feel sad when homosexuals die?

He was acquitted of child molestation if that's your problem with him.

How do you know? Did Michael tell you he was a pedophile? When did he get convicted?

 

[Shiggie]

oh man...

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Fox news is reporting he's dead.

Are you kidding me? Even if he is a pedophile, should we not feel sad when homosexuals die?

He was acquitted of child molestation if that's your problem with him.

Woah... Pedophiles are just like gays now? I'm pretty sure that's pretty damn insulting to a lot of people.

 

[Chamber]

Craziness. I don't even know how this makes me feel.

 

[MrPing1000]

Woah.

This is the first like worldwide celebrity that has any significance in my world to die. Wasn't particulary a fan, but it was hard to escape the guy's aura.

 

[norinrad21]

What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck

I can't believe this shit

 

[Tieno]

Listening to Michael Jackson - Rock With You.

Hope he's not dead

 

[8bit]

TMZ is a reputable source nowadays? Come on.

 

[McBacon]

Are you kidding me? Even if he is a pedophile, should we not feel sad when homosexuals die?

Wut

 

[Sharp]

How do you know? Did Michael tell you he was a pedophile?

Okay look, I love his music but grown men should not be sleeping with children in their beds.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Shit, there's no redemption in his final chapter. :[ RIP KoP

 

[Lost Fragment]

He was acquitted of child molestation if that's your problem with him.

Twice.

Anyway, can we at least save the impending debate for when it's confirmed if he's alive/dead?

 

[Az987]

Are you kidding me? Even if he is a pedophile, should we not feel sad when homosexuals die?

He was acquitted of child molestation if that's your problem with him.

Uhm are you comparing a homosexual to a pedophile?

 

[joesmokey]

Sucks if he isn't going to pull through. It is a shame he was never able to redeem himself.

 

[jmdajr]

OH FUCK!!!!!!!

 

[RavenFox]

I cannot fucking believe this I just cannot. Damn

 

[knicks]

This is the biggest death in this millennium.

 

[commish]

Keep that negative shit out of the thread. Just make a new thread.

 

[DMeisterJ]

WOW.

This is saddening. He may have been a pedo but thriller is still my ringtone.

Oh my.

 

[reilo]

Wow. RIP.

 

[A Human Becoming]

If Fox News reported it, there is no doubt now.

 

[gamergirly]

They say he didn't have a pulse and they weren't able to get his pulse back. That doesn't sound good at ALL

 

[mjc]

Gonna listen to Thriller tonight in memorium.

RIP

 

[Herpes Reasons]

this long without confirmation yet?

 

[NekoFever]

More places are saying he's not dead than he is at the moment, but it doesn't look good if so many sources are so unsure over it...

RIP if true. I'm loading his stuff onto my iPhone for tomorrow just in case

 

[RiZ III]

This is a BIG death. Ledger/Carlin worthy.

This would be much Ledger man.. MJ is famous through out the whole world.

 

[kassatsu]

Are you kidding me? Even if he is a pedophile, should we not feel sad when homosexuals die?

He was acquitted of child molestation if that's your problem with him.

 

[Keyser Soze]

TMZ will burn if they were wrong on this

 

[Rapping Granny]

WTF I am watching CNN right now and they haven't said anything yet about his death.

 

[Amir0x]

Are you kidding me? Even if he is a pedophile, should we not feel sad when homosexuals die?

I...

He was acquitted of child molestation if that's your problem with him.

And O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murder.

But after comment #1, fuck yourself.

 

[painey]

[D4Danger]

Are you kidding me? Even if he is a pedophile, should we not feel sad when homosexuals die?

[Mik2121]

I so wanna know if he is dead or not, come on!!

I hope he isn't, but I have a feeling he might be..

The thread title should be changed again maybe?

 

[KolosLazar16]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[jonnybryce]

Either TMZ jumped the gun or everyone else is waiting for an official statement.

If TMZ is wrong about this then they're over.

I hope they're just over.

Edit: WTF @ saying homosexuality is the same as pedophilia. GTFO.

 

[VALIS]

Considering TMZ broke the story in the first place and has been talking to Jackson's father on the phone, it's pretty safe to say they've got the scoop while the cable news networks are trailing behind as usual.

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Uhm are you comparing a homosexual to a pedophile?

uh... they are almost exactly the same thing.

It's the sexual actions that come from being a pedophile or a homosexual that are different.

 

[wolfmat]

This is a BIG death. Ledger/Carlin worthy.

Are you kidding? This is MJ. It's one of the biggest deaths of the last 25 years. It's on the level of Lady Di.

 

[Skittleguy]

Google News says of the 360 articles reporting this, there are about 40 or so saying he died.
