    I'm still completely baffled by all the MJ nonsense in the news. The only people his passing should have affected are his immediate family, and those who actually knew him personally. He traded his music career for his punchline status years ago. If you are a fan of the music, and his passing didn't somehow delete it from your ipod, your life hasn't changed a bit. Maybe it's just a case of the media having nothing better to do.

      That's why I *EMPHASIZED* it. But you're right! I should've also made it bold. :rolleyes:

        What's with the use of phrases like "his passing" everywhere? It sounds like he had a dump. He died (it doesn't happen to you just cos you mention it). You're right though - important and upsetting for his family; of no consequence whatsoever to me or you. It's just the 'passing' thing that intrigues me - I've noticed it a lot this last week.

          Hmmm I must have missed that. I've been changing the channel every time his name is mentioned. How bout his: croaking, dirt nap, becoming worm food, death, planting a corpse seed, kick the bucket, conserving oxygen, leading Billy Mays by example......

            He's never lonely. The voices in his head keep him company

                What? He was just having some fun with his baby in front of the fans. I'm sure you must have thrown your baby into the air and caught him back a couple of times. And if this does not apply, you were definitely thrown by your father. And you liked it. Good thing you also survived! :laugh:
