CNN.com says hes in a coma.

 

[OokieSpookie]

So....who will be number three?

 

[Haunted]

Was waiting for confirmation before commenting in this thread.

RIP


I liked his music when I was a kid.

 

[Forsete]

This sucks.

 

[Nakazato]

btw, how are his kids white?

Dose it really matter

 

[HUELEN10]

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...

 

[Zenith]

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.

 

[The Elite]

CNN now confirmed MJ has died. The anchorwoman even sighed at the news.

CNN.COM says he's alive and they just fixed all the past tense shit.

 

[Tobor]

You know, whatever happened to him later in life or how he spun out of control, Thriller is still a pop masterpiece.

RIP MJ.

 

[krypt0nian]

RIP.

I wonder how many children he raped.

Ban this filth.

 

[Zeliard]

RIP.

I wonder how many children he raped.

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

 

[chubigans]

Gaborn News can confirm he's dead.

:lol

Man, this is nuts.

 

[joesmokey]

Probably old but LA Times and AP are reporting he's dead now.

RIP

 

[Lebron]

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).

 

[painey]

RIP.

I wonder how many children he raped.

what do you do when not getting banned from internet forums, try and steal a cops gun?

 

[harSon]

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

 

[besada]

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.

 

[Dabanton]

As much as I loved MJ, I don't know if he was any bigger than Elvis...maybe about equal.

He was much bigger than Elvis.

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

It's on NBC nightly news right now.

 

[Barrett2]

Brian Williams is ALL OVER THIS SHIT!

 

[Vestal]

WTF IS THIS SHIT...


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

 

[Kaako]

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.

 

[Ephemeris]

RIP.

I wonder how many children he raped.

Wow. You guys are out in full force

 

[KibblesBits]

...you know, I actually always wondered this.

Surprise some children of mixed parentage don't look mixed at all.

 

[brandonh83]

Holy crap. Thriller was one of the best things to ever come out of music.

RIP Michael!

 

[John Dunbar]

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.

 

[Concept17]

wow...

Grew up listening to MJ. This is really sad. So young too.

RIP.

 

[Chamber]

Fuck.

RIP.

 

[Wii Will Rock U]

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.

 

[harSon]

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 :/

 

[Keyser Soze]

So....who will be number three?

Ed McMahon, Farrah Fossett, Michael Jackson.... that's 3.

 

[Eric WK]

So....who will be number three?

Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson

Until next time.

 

[GamePnoy74]

'Off the Wall' and 'Wanna Be Starting Something (Mama-se, mama-sa, mama-coo-sa)' are my all-time favorite MJ tracks...RIP =/

 

[Darkman M]

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

I dunno thriller itself sold over 30 million ww.

 

[Nakazato]

RIP.

I wonder how many children he raped.

Perma this prick

 

[HUELEN10]

I'm off to play Space Channel 5 soon...

 

[The Elite]

CNN HAS NOT CONFIRMED he's dead.

 

[Sadist]

When Bruce Springsteen dies, I will go into hiding for weeks.

Don't say that... :|

 

[Gallbaro]

Dose it really matter

For the potential of a crazy man to commit child abuse by changing the color of his child's skin...

 

[2 Minutes Turkish]

Do it or eat crow.


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.

 

[Ryck]

RIP Mike.... you were one of the best.

 

[BitchTits]

Fuck knows who the Beeb have on the phone now, but bringing up Jarvis Cocker?

Bonnie Greer, playwright/journalist.

 

[PSGames]

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.

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

Man I hopw these reports aren't true! R.I.P. MJ :-((((

 

[TheKingsCrown]

 

[Jocchan]

RIP

 

[Xenon]

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.

 

[John Dunbar]

I dunno thriller itself sold over 30 million ww.

Elvis has sold over a billion records. It's between him and The Beatles as the best selling artist of all time.

 

[Jswanko]

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...

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

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Shuster bringing up MJ's bizarre behaviors. What an ass.

 

[Mik2121]

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

Really? Well, then scratch my comment. But still.. kinda hard to believe.
And actually it doesn't even matter.. he was fucking huge nevertheless.. and one of my favorite artists..

It's 7am and this jut ruined my day
