OH MY GOD


I JUST REALIZED THAT SPACE CHANNEL 5 PART 3 WILL NEVER BE!



Wasn't he announced to be working with Sega a mere week ago?!?!

God, NOW I'm actually tearing up...

God damn...

Ban this filth.

Why? It was a considerable part of his legacy. I haven't seen this level of deification and sheer denial over the negative parts of his life since Ronald Reagan.
 
You know, whatever happened to him later in life or how he spun out of control, Thriller is still a pop masterpiece.

RIP MJ.
 
wait, CNN says he's in a Coma. Which is it?


Still, my day is ruined. He's always been my childhood idol(music wise).
 
This really sucks, I know it's just one person but it's fucking Michael Jackson. As an urban youth, I fucking loved the man... I feel like a family member has just passed :(

Bigger. Definitely.

Elvis could be bigger in the US, but worldwide MJ was the biggest singer ever.

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


Seriously... How about a headline saying.. Michael Jackson has passed away.. FUCK
 
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.

jackson was the first truly globalised musician, simply more people and more media by sheer weight of numbers.

John Lennon, Elvis and Michael Jackson were all on such insane level of fame that it's impossible to say who's the most famous. I honestly can't imagine someone knowing one but not the other two.
 
Fox News just confirmed it too.

DAMN, this is seriously ridiculous. This is I think the most unexpected death of a celebrity (other than Ledger) that I can recall. Wow.

What the fuck is wrong with you people? Really, what is the mentality that leads to making these kinds of posts?

Kind of proves that there's no such thing as innocent until proven guilty :/

And I'm not trying to be a troll, but why is everyone so upset? Don't get me wrong, he was an AMAZING artist and did wonders for the music industry....but he also fucked a child. Just sayin'

Fuck you man.

He didn't do shit. His head wasn't right, no doubt. He WAS still a child, that was the problem. His dad fucked him up good.

Because it's incredibly distasteful on the eve of the mans DEATH.

Man I hopw these reports aren't true! R.I.P. MJ :-((((
 
Its sad. I know the guy had a messed up life growing up but he still became one of the world’s greatest musical talents. RIP

As far as little kids, no matter how you look at it he was compelled to have unhealthy relationships with children no matter if it was emotional or physical in nature. It ended up disconnecting him with society. I always felt it was a result of everyone just going along with whatever he fancied. Negative feedback plays an important part of a person’s development and was something that MJ lacked.

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