Damn Felix you beat me to it.

Cardiac arrest, huh? Not a fun way to go out.
I have mixed feelings on this.
I am sad a music legend died, but then I am happy a child molester died.

I did not forgot the link. I just felt searching for it would hinder my chances of making the thread first and keeping my thread counter up.

Apparently he also went into a coma.
Also Grandy, you're like a 100 threads above the rest, I'm pretty sure your safe.

*kicks Grandy*
Farier Forcet (sp?) died too, this morning. D:

yup, he died.
-
Yup...CNN confirmed it.
I'm digging the trippy ads we're getting.
That have nothing to do with MJ.
-
So many celebs are dieing lately.
-
Damn, thirteen posts away from making the thread.
Yeah, the news has hit Australia.
Crazy feeling, eh?
-
I stained my pants over it.
-
I am happy a child molester died.
You know that he was found not guilty and it's highly likely the woman accusing him was after his money, right?
Jus' sayin'.

Meh, I am just taking what I feel is the more likely side. I know everything in that trial was either a lie, or heavily exaggerated, but I am still sure he wasn't completely innocent.
-
Yet it is strange that he had two cases against him, has WHITE children, wears a mask, dyed his skin, has a squeaky voice, became a girl, and sleeps with other kids among other things.

I feel the same way. The old MJ was good, not gonna lie. But when he dyed his skin and the whole pedo thing then eh =/

I would argue that if the prosecution is unable to prove their allegations, the defendant is innocent. And hey, if you're after a celebrity's money, why not pick a mask-wearing skin-dyed squeaky-voiced girl-becoming weirdo who the public will believe any word against?

The MJ We loved died a long way back.
The thing that left us today was a torn and broken body.
Nothing to grieve about.
-
MJ was a child molester Draggy, you realise the first attempt he had was settled outside of court?
There's a tape that the kid's father had that had MJ telling the kid how to suck... and when MJ's lawyers heard it, they told MJ to settle, thus why one of the richest men in the world was bankrupt.
I mean... he OWNED the Beatle's discography.
Anyways, good riddance, I only feel bad cause we can't make fun of him anymore.

That is oddly deep.
I heavily agree with it.
-
Am I the only one who is completely indifferent to this?
I honestly couldn't care less. :\
-
Nah...you're not the only one.
I don't really care, it's not like it's gonna change life or anything.
It's just kind odd.
Especially seeing as how he was only 50.
-
You can imagine there's a great deal of stress being in his position. Fame and wealth come at a price.
-
wha....?
-
Also Grandy, you're like a 100 threads above the rest, I'm pretty sure your safe.
I'm going to be away from the computer for a while. Better give meself a good headstart.

Oh, in that case I should have just PMed you the Boner Remote.
P.S....I'm joking!

Who in his sane mind would tape that while teaching the kid? MJ wouldn't, would just cause problems against him. The father could have wired the house, but come on, if you wire a house and does not interrupt the stuff that is happening while it's happening, you're just as guilt.
If anything, I find such tape higly suspicious and could be easily a forged one. Lawyers just felt it wasn't worth to take the chances and settled it.
OR
It could have happened. Anyway, the guy is dead, if there's a God, he'll be judged by someone with infinite knowledge, if there is not, then there is no afterlife and MJ doesn't exists to cause any suffering.
-
I don't exactly feel for him, I mean... it was a surprise, but that's about it.
Now we'll have to see if Letoya is still around. Being as, that was supposedly MJ's alter ego <<
MJ isn't the only person with a lot of money and unlimited access to children, Drag. And a part of why he's so broke is because he just buys whatever the hell he wants, without a thought. Did anyone see that documentary he did? Freakin spent over a million dollars at ONE store!
****, I wouldn't be surprised if Blanket got tired of playing peek-a-boo under the covers with his daddy. I'm just saying <<...
That dude was fucked in the head for a long while, his family is partly to blame as well. I mean, grown men shouldn't sleep with other children in their beds!!!! No spooning, damnit!
-
MJ is serious business.
Shady, quit being a white knight.
seriously. nobody gives a ****, and we all know about the molestation allegations.
-
Bummer. Largest pop star in the last 30 years for whatever reason. He was what he was, but he changed a lot of things in music. And dance.
I shall moon dance to his memory! then follow it with a thriller dance.
-
Well, I didn't see THIS coming. O_o
-
You know that he was found not guilty and it's highly likely the woman accusing him was after his money, right?
Jus' sayin'.
Not guilty, just like OJ, eh?
My manager, who has an extremely thick Chinese accent, told me the news as best he could. It took 5 minutes of trying to make sense of "bizzly news," "Michael Jetson," and "Biwry Jee," and a whole lot of "WHAT?" before I finally figured out what happened.
Probably didn't help that he mentioned "black guy," and my mind's picture of a black guy comes nowhere close to what MJ looks like.

XD!! Wow, that IS a thick accent indeed. XD
-
Yeah, heard about this from my mom earlier. This is one of those things I've been expecting to happen for ages, but never really thought I'd get to see.
Kinda blows.
-
Yeah, not as fun as I thought it'd be.
-
Yar I share that feeling.
It's like... now what? No more MJ jokes that will be funny =\ at least for like 5 years.

*sigh* Yeah, tis true. Lucky we got ours in before this event took place.
-
I have a suspicion that douchebaggery will have an increase in MJ jokes though.
Insensitive assholes.
BTW, douchebaggery is in the Chrome dictionary, but douchbag isn't.
-
Gem, wtf is a White Knight? I hope you're not trying to say I'm racist...
Anyways, we can't know for sure now, but it's of no matter.
-
He's saying you're being overly good.
Basically calling you a vigilante jackass or something like that.
-
What's really pissing me off is the fact that Farrah died yesterday morning, and that child molesting bastard has managed to take as many eyes as he could.
**** that "it." I feel so annoyed now. *glares at the next person to cross her path!*
-
I don't exactly feel for him, I mean... it was a surprise, but that's about it.
I feel the same way. I never really cared about MJ.
-
seriously though guys, he wrote some catchy tunes.
His ability to molest kids and be a creep has no corelation to his abiity to dance and sing catchy tunes.
-
Even if he did molest some kids, haven't we all?
CUE ARCHEM
He will be missed for his music though. In his day he was the black Elvis, or the black John Lennon, or the black Michael Jackson.
-
Black Michael Jackson will do

Part of it was we all knew Farrah's death was coming. She's been dying for a while. His death came out of left field.
But yeah, the other part is he's more famous.
-
yea...never even heard of Farrah...;__;''
-
Charlie's angels dude. Charlies angels. She was the HOT one (the only hot one in the show) Aside from that, she's just a strong person.
seriously though guys, he wrote some catchy tunes.
He DID? Man, I gotta look again. I know he sang some catchy songs, but as far as I know, he never wrote a single song...
-

Indeed.
Although Fawcett had her shares, Fawcett impact is no where NEAR as Michael Jackson's. The whole world is mourning him. Again, molestation, uglyness, and accusations aside, his singing and dancing revolutionized music we have today. I am sure that without his existence music will not be what it is today, nor would the musicians that were inspired by him would be here. His impact is GARGANTUAL on the world, both negative and positive. His both famous and infamous.
I didn't like the guy as much as the next person, but I do know and appreciate what he did in the music industry. He was very well an Elvis of our time and prior.
I was never a fan of the man, but I was of a few of his songs. And I am pretty sure a lot of people felt that way too, even people of his generation, and specially ours.
It is only but natural his image appears on everybody's tele.
-
The one song I can think of is Smooth Criminal.
-
Beat it was his best.
-
Those plus thriller, and Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
-
And Billie Jean.
-
That song scares me a bit D: but it is catchy

Tl;dr past page 2, just want to add my two cents to the whole paedophile part.
If he did indeed molested / raped those children, then why in god's name did the parents settle? I mean come on, your child was raped. I don't care how much money he offered, if he did it for real then the parents would have wanted to see him go to jail plus, most likely, get money anyway.
My opinion is that MJ just didn't want all the fush. He was a troubled man before it and probably couldn't take it. Give them money, they shut up. Easy as that and he got his rest. Now the second lawsuit was a moneymaker. Of course people are going to try that. If he really did it they wouldn't let their kids sleep with him.
That's my two cents, hate me for it, but MJ wasn't a paedophile in my eyes.
EDIT: While we're at it, let's not forget another great man in the entertainment business we lost a few years back. Steve Irwin. Now we lost two persons we could laugh at / with.

Drace wins points for that.

There are less selfish reasons to settle, such as to avoid a lengthy trial and media scrutiny that would further traumatize your emotionally violated child.
-
The people who sued him must be geniuses, I mean how much money did they win from MJ's trials.
I mean, they have to live with that for the rest of there lives, but when you become that rich, you start to not give a f-
-
And I am definitely not rich. :D
-
The one thing that always bother me about that was that little kid knew all those "graphics" words in the report he gave the police.
I don't think I knew all those words as that kid did when I was his age.
-
._.''
-
Graphic words? What's that?
You know, words like "anti-aliasing", ""anisotropic filtering", and "bloom".

BOO HISS

I think I smell a troll in this sector
-
BOO HISS
But no human noises.
I'm starting to piece things together...
-
lol, I hear a ghost and a furry.
not humans.
-
What? So dwarves aren't human anymore?
-

Possible, but he's mentally scared either way. I'd rather have my abuser thrown in jail, a little bit of justice. Even when I was a kid.
Still, I'm not here to debate it. I got my opinion, you got yours. I see him as Wacko Jacko without the rape part and that's how I want to remember him. A crazy scared man who made pop music even I can listen too.
-
How depressing, I loved Michael Jackson. One of those characters that you heard about as a child, and continously throughout growing up. For a person who I didn't even know, I heard more about and from him than most non-imediate family members. Regardless of whether or not you think he molested a child; a legend just died.
-
While this has no relevance to the thread whatsoever, I rememberwhen I was 6 or so I used to tell people MJ was my brother.
