Michael Jackson follow-up

1. Is Michael Jackson Alive or Dead?

2. The Ultimate Warrior [!] weighs in:

I imagine all the crying about the death of this recent drug-soused entertainment freak has most to do with the unfortunate inconvenience that the other drug-soused entertainment freaks now face. They will have to look for another local, safe and reputable babysitter. No longer will they be able to drop their kids off down the street at Jacko’s to be watched for the afternoon and spend some play time with his own kids.

I hate the paparazzi, and think they should all be shot for the obsessive invasion of privacy. But I’m really going miss ALL those TMZ and Entertainment Tonight video clips of Jacko’s and other celebrity kids playing together. You ever see any of those? Weren’t they great? Didn’t they make you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside? Worked for me. Every time I caught one it made me believe maybe he wasn’t a pedophile. After all, famous and rich entertainers, with all kinds of money to go to any expense to have things accurately checked out for themselves, wouldn’t let their own little babies near a pedophile…would they?!

Well, you gotta give him credit for one thing. He spent all his money (and then some) before he died. And that’s not an easy thing to calculate. Go ahead, ask your financial planner if he has a plan to pull it off. For all the horrific mismanagement of millions and millions and millions of dollars, here at the end, Jacko did a pretty damn good job at balancing the books in his favor. Sorry, at my new age and with the way the Obama economic plan is going, I couldn’t help but recognize this stunner.

3. Is Michael Jackson a Zombie Yet?

4. "Thriller" is such a great song, I will ruin your face if you disagree. Related. Also, I imagine that if I were old enough to remember when it came out, I would enjoy it less; running a thirteen minute video twice an hour is a lot of coverage. On the other hand, pop music in the early 1980s wasn't exactly peaking. You all should hope that you're on the news 24-7 when you die twenty years after you do anything meaningful.

5. Is anyone really surprised that he died at 50? It reminds me of Norm MacDonald pointing out that, actually, 44 is pretty old for a Crocodile Hunter.

6. Music videos and racial equality

7. Is Michael Jackson still alive?
