Michael Jackson Round Up

There's really no need to get into specifics. If you stop by these parts for your news, you don't deserve to know what happened yesterday.

Anyhoo, these are the funniest things I came across in all the happenings.

LA Times:Celeb Twitters React.



Um Miley, I think your dad Billy Ray might be a little disappointed in your choice of inspiration. Then again, I don't ever recall hearing you do a cover of "Achy Breaky Heart."

Then again, I don't ever recall listening to your music.



Just in case it's been a while since you've seen Children of a Lesser God, Marlee was the deaf chick William Hurt was trying to hump. I'd love to get her opinion on her favorite MJ song.



Seriously, why doesn't my Criterion Collection DVD of On Golden Pond have any footage of this? That had to have been one crazy week. Think MJ and Jane's dad spent any time fishing for Walter? Or maybe a game of Parcheesi?

Found my two favorite comments on LAist and coincidentally they came from a gal named Shar.

Why would the news industry devote so much air time to the death of a pervert while leaving out the news that Farrah has died. She should come first. I say it's a gender thing, just as most of life is. His talent was no more than Farrah's. He had people behind him who saw a vision. He did not fulfill that vision because he wanted to be white and female. Too bad he died on the same day as Farrah (LIFO) most recent first, that's just wrong! Everything about him was wrong. A product of the entertainment industry and a pervert from the time he made his first $1M. Very few people will mourn his loss. Good thing he died before he could mess up more lives. Farrah, on the other hand, was a vision and a wonderful person. RIP FARRAH, ROT IN HELL MICHAL JACKSON!

Then, 13 minutes later Shar posted the following comment. Totally different than her previous comment.

Farrah died today. Why would the news industry devote so much air time to the death of this wierdo, while leaving out the news that Farrah has died? Is it a gender thing? His talent was no greater than Farrah's. He had people behind him who saw a vision. He did not fulfill that vision because he wanted to be white and female (clearly). Too bad he died on the same day as Farrah. Everything about him was wrong. A product of the entertainment industry and a pervert from the time he made his first $1M. Only his family should mourn. Good thing he died before he could mess up more lives. Farrah, on the other hand, was a vision and a wonderful person. RIP FARRAH, ROT IN HELL MJ!

Just a hunch but I think Shar, might have once been the President of the Farrah Fawcett fan club but was ousted back around '83 for being a little too crazy.

Finally, yesterday Facebook was a veritable smorgasbord of Michael Jackson jokes. Guess that happens when a person has a ton of comic friends. Not surprisingly there were a lot of repeats referencing MJ's knack for the bad touch with the kiddies but I must hands down Brett Gilbert (maybe you've seen him as the Alien Autopsy Guy in Ghost World?) had the best jokes in both quantity and quality.

Favorite Michael Jackson dead jokes.. 1. Boys underwear flying at half mast 2. Heaven needed two white woman today. 3. Governor Mark Sanford just became a huge Michael Jackson fan. 4. Bubbles gets everything in the will. 5. The one thing everyone agrees on is that Michael touched many people. 6. He WILL be back. And he's bringing the dancing zombies with him!

Well played Mr. Gilbert. Well played.
