Michael Jackson Death Jokes and Photos
Yesterday at work, a co-worker walked up to me and had tears in his eyes. He put his hand on my shoulder:
“You gotta hear this one man. Ok, so they decided to cremate Michael Jackson and naturally, he melted down into a goopy soup of plastic. Wouldn’t you know he planned for this in his will and demanded that his plastic remains be used to create a child’s play toy! Hahaaha…”
I was disgusted. Millions of “jokes” like these are going around right now, to the point that it’s being discussed in national news.
It was bad enough to have, on Michael Jackson’s day of death, some political commentators, being crass enough to say things like ‘well, one more pedo off this planet’ and some even ‘religious’ commentators stating this man would be going to hell.
I’m offended. Say what you will about his eccentric and reclusive behavior, but the fact of the matter is that 99% of people on this Earth only know Michael Jackson through the filter of the biased media. And frankly, when it comes to Jackson, that filter was focused on making him look ‘whacko’ all in attempts to sell headlines.
I read the accounts given by his family and friends. They admit Michael was troubled and at times emotionally fragile. Who wouldn’t be, granted his childhood and the fact he’s been a global celebrity since that point in time. He’d never had a ‘normal’ life or chance to relate to the public at large; he’s always had to ‘flee’ from public venues, lest he be mobbed.
I may also be mistaken, but there is a little phrase in America called ‘innocent until proven guilty’. Now I’ve done my research, but I just could not find documentation that accused and condemned Michael Jackson of any crimes. Did I miss something?
So all in all, I guess this short commentary is to say one thing; stop being crass jerks, media and public.
An important cultural figure just passed away, from what may be dubious or at least unnatural circumstances, and out of respect this man’s family, friends and fans should be given common courtesy.
There is also clamoring to find and market his death photos, which have been widely published (his last photo) at this point. While there is nothing necessarily wrong with that, albeit it being macabre in my book, photo-shopping it with inappropriate comments or other images as I’ve seen is beyond sick.
So that’s all I want to say. Michael Jackson passed away and some of the heartless commentary surrounding the death of a relatively important cultural icon is truly a sad testament to the minds of some people.

Well, I for once have to agree with you, Dean. The little snide comments I’ve heard people making are pretty sick and very untimely.

hello im a twelve yr old girl speaking my mind.
ok. back in 1996 they said he was trying to fake his death.he ask his wife lisa marie presley how did her father die. they said he was planning it for when he turns 50. also he has a diary/journal. here is what it said:
“There’s too much pressure, pressure, pressure … pressure everywhere I turn …” a diary entry dated Nov. 17, 2008 is alleged to say in part.
“I don’t know who I am, not anmore (sp). Maybe I’m just a father to my children. Maybe I’m washed up.
“The drugs are (illegible) a toll … (illegible) … I’m not addict. But I can’t stop …
“If Elvis … (illegible) … so can I.
“I’ll have a ‘heart attack’ from drugs like he did (yeah, right!)
“I’ll come back, but only when I’m ready. Bigger than Elvis in ‘69.
“Maybe 2009 at Christmas. Or maybe the New Year is better.
“A back-from-dead tour, a real Thriller. But I have to rest. I’m tired. I’m not (thinking) clearly.
“It’s the drugs.
“A lot of fans still love me. (Some) people hate me. Thing (sp) will be different (after this) …”
Jackson insiders declined to comment – officially – on the report. But as one privately put it, “We love Michael no matter what.”
The friend who leaked portions of the diary also was tight lipped, saying only, “There are over 60 pages (of it) that I will release to the family through my lawyer and they can do what they want with it. It doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to Michael and his loved ones.”

Hallelujah, Dean. The first article on Christwire I’ve seen defending someone wrongly accused rather than condemning them.
