Michael Jackson dies

[TrievelA7X]

Of course you do, Nigel. It's Famine.

If you're all done spreading your collective bile, it was not a funeral! It was a memorial service for people in his life to share their memories and thoughts. Paris did a brilliant job, and do you really have proof that she was forced to do it? She'd have broken down whether she chose to do it or not. Perhaps it's the non-bitter, non-husk side of me that sees the family being with her as support rather than some mob out to force a little girl to speak.

Between myself, when my mother died, and my fiancee, when her father died, and all our brothers, among the others I've known that have lost parents, not a 1 under the age of 25 has wanted to speak, (nor have they) at any type of funeral or memorial service for their parents, because kids just don't like doing that. Nobody does. The difference I see is that once you get older, you suck it up and do it anyway, because you realize it'll make you feel better to have said your piece, so people will hear your thoughts.

So I doubt Paris wanted to speak. Beyond a reasonable doubt.

Not trying to take sides here or flame... but it does sort of look like they forced her to speak... The way they sort of bunch up around her, leaving no way out and stuff looks suspicious... Oh well it doesnt really bother me... just commenting on what I perceived out of this clip...

I was JUST on that site before you posted that... pretty cool though!

Some aren't really good (some obviously don't try), but if you watch it enough, you get some really good attempts.

Has it been long enough yet?

A new series of "Mock The Week" just started, and MJ escaped pretty lightly, given that Frankie Boyle is on the show! Frankie Boyle left the Daily Record last week after they pulled a column he wrote because it contained too many MJ jokes (it's incredibly funny, by the way, but alas I cannot post it here!)

Still, Frank Skinner proved that MJ jokes aren't necessarily offensive. He just came out with a classic comment: "Did anyone notice that Michael Jackson's dancing deteriorated as he got whiter?"

i watched it, laughed couple of times, but to be honest (i have lots of friends from different nationalities) and we all speak english very well, i did NOT understand one word that guy on the far left said.

Where the turbolag is he from? Where do people have such a hard to understandable accent?

I think it's Frankie Boyle, who's from Glasgow, Scotland.

 

[Famine]

Yes it is.

If there's a belt for comedy, Boyle will punch below it. He's brilliant. And it's a pity you couldn't understand him, because he's one of the reasons Mock the Week is so successful (Boyle, Dennis, Howard and O'Briain are perfect together).

This. 👍

 

[Touring Mars]

I saw Frankie Boyle in my street a few weeks ago ... trust me, his accent is not 'strong' around here He is a hero of mine already though. Although, he once said "Glasgow looks like Paris after a nuclear bomb went off", and "Only in Glasgow would you see someone punch a man to the ground when he was already on fire"...

Both are true, and the latter actually happened

His best one was "Glasgow is the most friendilest and most violent place in the world,not only will we stab you but we will also give you directions to the hospital."

 

[Omnis]

I just saw a moonwalk with two kids and the lead one pants'd the one in front of him. SO funny.

Apparently he was live on air on a daytime cooking show (who made THAT booking) at the time, and commented "... we don't know whether it's terrorists or Richard Hammond arriving late for check-in."

His sketch on animals is brilliant (on Mock The Week)

"I couldn't be a vet for long without wanting to shag something" Amongst, other non-repeatable stuff

A picture from a magazine back in 1985. What Jacko would have looked like by the year 2000 if he hadn't gone a bit loopy:

Essentially, he would have looked like Lando Calrissian, apparently.

EDIT: Image fail

 

[Joey D]

That's the 1980's for you!

 

[Touring Mars]

Little did they know that by 2000, his portrait would have been more at home in "IVORY" magazine

That's assuming he was never diagnosed with vitiligo though.

I think he looks like a funky motherfunker. I want one of those jackets aswell.

Update - Jackson didn't die. Jackson was murdered...

 

[Diego440]

so murdered people aren't dead?

 

[Joel]

Wow, that sucks. But i do agree with Tom Servo.

 

[Famine]

There's a marginal difference between dying and being murdered. That of culpability.

And a much larger one between having a heart attack and being fatally injected with an anaesthetic.

 

[Peter]

Who hates Jackson enough to kill him? Maybe it's just someone who tried to win a bet, or someone who wanted to make an international scene.

Do you have any news media in your town? At all? Clicked the link I left?


To save you the trouble, Jackson's doctor said he was treating Jackson for insomnia. Over the course of that one evening/night/morning, he injected Jackson with lorazepam (muscle relaxant, anti-anxiety drug), midazolam (muscle relaxant sedative), lorezapam again, midazolam again and, finally, propofol (general anaesthetic). After monitoring Jackson for 10 minutes the doctor went to the toilet and returned to find him pulseless and unresponsive.

The coroners have reported the cause of death as lorezapam and propofol intoxication and ruled it as homicide.

 

[PureAwesomeness]

Sounds more like manslaughter than murder to me. I don't think the doctor intentionally killed MJ.
