I always get exhausted by this kind of thing. Also all the drama and the people trying to get their 15 minutes by spouting off some random Michael Jackson connection. It’s disgusting.

I have to say, though, that it is a sign of our times that this is, in fact, news now. News has nothing to do with what news used to be any more.

Honestly, I’ve been avoiding TV the last few weeks. I just don’t want to hear it…

however, if they talked about Bubbles, his chimpanzee, more then I would find all this extra MJ coverage highly valuable and an important use of mass media

Where is Bubbles now? What are his feelings on Michael’s passing? And his thoughts on the enablers who scored and feed him drugs?

poor bubbles.

It’s the song that never ends…

Here is some awesomeness I just found as I was reading this Wiki entry on parody religions (I do believe I am a newly converted Pastafarian).

There is a Cult of Michael Jackson religion. No shit! How awesome is that?

Here are the 10 commandments according to MJ.

1. You shall have no other Gods or Kings before MJ.
2. You shall strive to make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth, you will boogie and keep the faith and strive to be all that you can be.
3. You shall blame it on the boogie, know you are a danc’in machine and scream they name.
4. Observe the nine to five day and then at night you gotta just enjoy yourself, groove as the MJ commands you.
5. Start with the man in the mirror, honor yourself, make your father proud, and your mother smile, love everyone, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that thy idol MJ is commanding you to enjoy.
6. You shall obey the rule that nobody shall hurt nobody else.
7. You shall not stop till you get enough.
8. Nor shall you be a smooth criminal, nor a Macho Man and when in doubt, just beat it.
9. Neither shall you victimize or scheme, upon penalty of a scream. Be careful of what you do, ’cause the lie becomes the truth. Before you judge, try hard to love.
10. You girl is yours and my girl is mine, Neither shall you be a Billie Jean or cause a scene. Do as you mother says and be careful who you love.

The MJ commands it to be so.

OMG! You guys, this is the man I live with!

oh, and there should probably be a #11 - just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)

@Kim, in the words of MJ himself, “people say I’m strange that way ’cause I love such elementary things”

What happened to all that cryogenics shit he paid for? I thought they were going to freeze him so he could come back in the future as a catholic priest in Newfoundland and really have a go at the kids. Seriously, how does everyone put aside this piece of shit was a child molester? “Oh but he was such a talented artist you know”. WTF is with that? This whole thing just makes me want to move to the woods somewhere…oh wait…I already do.

Gee Brian- Didn’t you hear? He is an “alleged” molester. That makes EVERYTHING ok.
Steve- If you’re singing that shit when you get home I’m gonna kick your ass!

Steve, I’m pretty disappointed with your religious assumptions. Pastafarianism is not a “pseudo”-religion. I’ve been a practicing Pastafarian ever since I was introduced to them 4 years ago. In that time I’ve seen a real climate change for the better, as more Pirates have been emerging in the area of Somalia. What we fail to realize is that our world is on the brink. Pirates are next to extinct, Western governments are on a mad rampage to kill or capture the ones that are left, and all anybody wants to talk about is Michael Jackson. The FSM will remember who was faithful and who was not.

You’ll be happy you did.

Dave- I clicked the link and almost peed my pants on the “possible sighting” pic.
Shit. Now I want pasta.

@Dave, I’ve been aware of the FSM for a couple years now, It was not till I looked a little deeper, and was already on venganza.org, that I formally decided Pastafarianism, with a side dish of MJ Cult, is the right belief (or lack there of) system for me

I was checking out the Venganza blog later this evening and when I saw this pic I spit my coffee on Cynthia.

and this one just kills me;

The Flying Spaghetti Monster vs the Invisible Pink Unicorn

See Kim, this is the value of the excessive MJ media coverage. It leads us to the TRUTH. Michael is now in heaven drinking from the beer volcano outside the stripper factory.

Oh fuck- now our house is gonna be FSM propagandaville………. Look at the monster you people created!!!!!

How can there possibly still be news about him? He did actually die, right? This isn’t a Tupac-still-alive thing, right?

Of course not! They’re now “reporting” sightings of his ghost: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Am67-Sew7k

Give it a year or so- MJ and Tupac will be spotted in Guadalajara running a balloon animal shop for the tourists.

Did you guys hear? Apparently MJ actually didn’t die of a drug over dose…and NO! He wasn’t murdered.
Would you believe that he actually died of food poisoning.
Yup that’s right they think it was a 7 year old wiener that killed him.
heehee…

AMEN, SISTER.
