Thoughts On Jackson

With the recent death of pop icon Michael Jackson and the big memorial service that will be held for him today. I figured I would give my two cents here. While tragic it was it is disturbing seeing the amount media coverage already. That fact that there is more publicity for him more than when most world leaders die is sad. He was a great entertainer but his personal life left a lot to be desired as he had those allegations of child molestation not to mention he was an alleged drug abuser. The last image more me was when he dangled his baby of a balcony for all the world to see. Putting the life of his own child in danger like that made me question his sanity and wheter he did other things to endanger his children. I also don't see the point of a huge memorial service as it should be a small affair with family and friends. I guess it is a commentary on people we look up to in society.

I pretty much agree with you. After all those child molestation allegations, his crazy antics and drug abuse he is now being put up on a pedestal. Are we just supposed to forget about the people he hurt and put in danger?
And I also agree - the memorial service for Jackson is being turned into a circus. It should be a time for family and friends. Sadly though, I think Michael would have liked it this way.

MICHAEL THE NARC-ANGEL

Millions of little members of the worldwide F.F.A. (Future Followers of the Antichrist) have finally learned how to find a certain part of their lower anatomy and quickly touch it while dancing - thanks to Michael Jackson, the highest paid Lower Anatomy Toucher of all time! Special thanks also go to the Jesus-bashing, Hell-bound Hollywood moguls who were just as quick to see higher profits in lower anatomies! [Just saw this opinion on the web. Other grabby items on MSN, Google, etc. include "Separation of Raunch and State," "David Letterman's Hate, Etc.," "Tribulation Index becomes Rapture Index," and "Bible Verses Obama Avoids." - something for everyone!]
