Shit, I thought this was a joke thread when I first saw it.. :´(

This made me sad.. MJ was one of the artists that made me "discover" music when I was just a kid.. for all the shit he's done and been accused of doing, I've never stopped appreciating his music.

Fuck.

Going to listen to Stranger In Moscow on repeat for the rest of the night.

RIP.

 

[M.J. Doja]

Good entertainer but still a fucking pedophile that got off the charges because of who he is.

well, hes dead now. so let him rest in peace.

 

[DarienA]

Years of awesome music, and music videos. Countless artists inspired by him.

Thanks for the good stuff Michael.... time to forget the bad stuff since you've past.

 

[BravoSuperStar]

Some of you need to show a little fucking class. Jesus. A man is dead.

 

[GSG Flash]

Ok, I don't want to get into this lame discussion, but even though Elvis and the Beatles were insanely popular in the western world, MJ was popular everywhere, anywhere you go in the world people know who Michael Jackson is, hell even my grandparents know who MJ is but they probably have no idea who Elvis or the Beatles are.

 

[VelvetMouth]

Man Wolf Blitzer is turning CNN into classic MTV with all the MJ songs he's playing.

I wonder what's going to happen to all his children? Some belong to Debbie Rowe but who knows about the youngest, Blanket. Really sad for them.

 

[PantherLotus]

I'm not sure this can be overstated. He was the most famous person on the planet.





<<--- feel free to copy

 

[I AM JOHN!]

I found it quite funny and fitting really. "First post ending 00 is the new king of pop" and some industrious 4channer makes sure that response is Michael Jackson. He is the king of pop forever and all that.

Exactly. Some people be missing the point. :\

 

[Kusagari]

/b/ =/= 4chan. Everyone else is mourning.

/b/ is mourning too... Just in their own psychotic way.

 

[Onemic]

Wait so is it official or is he in a coma like what cnn and some others are saying?

 

[Speevy]

Oh good grief CONFIRM IT CNN

 

[Deleted member 8095]

My mom just reminded me, I have the same birthday as MJ. Not same year, just same day.

 

[Eteric Rice]

A great musician.

Hopefully, if there is a life after death, he no longer has to deal with the mental and physical issues that he had. Hopefully he's finally at peace.

 

[Mik2121]

You didn't know him. You only think you did because you liked his music. I'm not going to start bawling my eyes out about someone I didn't know in the slightest (and what I did know about him wasn't that pleasant).

You just don't get it.

I don't need to know about his life to appreciate him because of all the great music he has made.
And stop arguing, this isn't even the place to do that. Ughh

 

[maus]

has anyone mentioned the fact that he's probably frozen?

i'm betting they had him on life support and headed him off to a cryogenic facility or whatever.

everyone knows he was big on cryogenics.

 

[seat]

You do not shit up a death thread with your opinions.

Many people are sad at Jackson's passing since he was a brilliant musician who inspired others with his work and had a huge effect on American pop culture. Some are happy at this death since he was a pedophile who may have destroyed lives. If you can't respect that then I feel sorry for you.

 

[VGChampion]

RIP MJ.

One of, if not the best artist ever.

Loved your music and created the best music video ever.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

Some of you need to show a little fucking class. Jesus. A man is dead.

Michael Jackson is fucking awesome and I would never say a bad word about the guy, but what you're saying makes no sense.

 

[jakershaker]

Some of you need to show a little fucking class. Jesus. A legend is dead.

Fixed it for you.

 

[Sadist]

Damn, I guess this thing didn't work!

Don't please.

 

[Rewrite]

My mom just reminded me, I have the same birthday as MJ. Not same year, just same day.

My birthday is the same as his too.

 

[Always-honest]

Oh good grief CONFIRM IT CNN

waiting for: Michael Jackson is dead-ish.....

 

[Ashodin]

What the hell is the world coming to man? The golden age is ending... all the people I liked are dying

 

[AlexMogil]

THE KING IS DEAD.


THE KING IS DEAD.


LONG LIVE THE KING.

That doesn't even make sense.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Don't please.

He's not even in the ground yet. Leave MICHAEL ALOOOOOAAANEENANENE

 

[xS1TH L0RDx]

MAN MTV IS SO FRIGGIN AWESOME RIGHT NOW. SO. FRIGGIN. AWESOME.

They can piss off out of this thread.

 

[Smokey]

This will be one of, if not THE biggest funerals we've seen.

 

[UraMallas]

That doesn't even make sense.

Get an education.

But is this thread the time to bring that sort of discussions up?

 

[Ryck]

Some people have no decency it is what it is... This thread is an easy way to tell what people to avoid.

 

[crowphoenix]

This sucks. You really were the King of Pop, MJ. Rest in peace.

 

[Xeke]

Fixed it for you.

That makes more sense as thousands of men have died since the creation of this thread and nobody gives two shits.

 

[joesmokey]

So back in grade school who else had to sing "Heal the World" in music class?

Can't believe I'm actually watching MTV!

 

[EphemeralDream]

I never even had any personal attachment to his music, but I agree that it's wrong to shit on the guy without respecting his death. For such a huge talent, it's sad to see his time has been cut short.

 

[Shirokun]

This definitely came out of nowhere. MJ was big part of my childhood. Some great memories.

RIP Michael.

 

[Tenacious-V]

Musical and entertainment genius! RIP....

 

[CB3]

MAN MTV IS SO FRIGGIN AWESOME RIGHT NOW. SO. FRIGGIN. AWESOME.

WTF its showing Futurama for me. I want in on the awesomeness!

 

[Darklord]

Already starting to hear shit like he faked his own death.

Seriously...fucking idiots.

 

[Cruzader]

RIP the king of pop.

 

[Frillen]

Elvis wasn't THAT big outside of the US. Not Michael Jackson big anyway.

He was most likely the most famous person alive.

Sad day (

 

[biggkidd32]

Oh good grief CONFIRM IT CNN

He's dead, man.

 

[Auron_Kale]

RIP MJ

His music was definitely a staple throughout my life. Thanks for the awesome memories.

how does it make no sense?

If you actually read the court transcripts you wouldn't think for a second he was guilty.

 

[rollingstart]

On and on and on it came
Wish the rain would just let me

The most underrated song of all time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wX-TPQ0648

that link was either going to be Stranger in Moscow or Human Nature

I knew it

 

[Cold Shadow]

RT @Maestro How can we wish for a man to rest in peace if we deny him peace in life?

RIP MJ

 

[Zeliard]

I'd peg the average age of people who are making jokes about Michael Jackson's death as no later than high school. No maturity, no class, and probably no real awareness of the guy's musical output.
