UGH! Yes… This was facebook status yeterday:

“I’ve heard more about Michael Jackson dying in the past 20 minutes then I’ve heard about ANYTHING EVER! That’s ridiculous! Come on people… He’s not that important.” -

Yes I am!
I was wondering if talent, makes everything else go away?

MacBean's avatar

Yes. I’m so tired of it, in fact, that I don’t ask people if they’re tired of it, because then I’d be the one bringing it up and annoying myself (and others).

By the way, here’s a good read for people who are sick of it (and, actually, those who aren’t, too). I’m still tired of hearing about it and I still think “tragedy” is not the right word, but it put things back into perspective a little.

I guess. I do have a lot of MJ songs in my head today. Hmm…I wonder why?

I’m not tired of hearing about him just about his death, you know other people die too, they just make a huge deal about it
jerk!

I’d also like to mention that I got about no lie 24 text messages from friends and family all saying something along the lines of Can you believe Michael Jackson is dead?!?! I’ll be lucky to get anywhere close to that many when someone I actually care about passes on. RE-diculous!

I just flipped a coin to decide between the iPhone and Michael Jackson

Tink's avatar

iPhone!!!!! right?

hungryhungryhortence's avatar

@applesaucemanny: it rolled under the bed and I got distracted to clip my dog’s nails.

applesaucemanny's avatar

@hungryhungryhortence well… you should check to see what it was…it better be the iphone

Tink's avatar

Removed by me

Randy's avatar

@hungryhungryhortence At least the iPhone has done something in last 5 years other than go to trial for molesting children.

applesaucemanny's avatar

haha I bet Michael Jackson got more turned on than the iphone

@hungryhungryhortence well, laughter is the best medicine after all :)
I think I’m ODing on laughter though

You heard about Farrah Fawcett for what? A few hours? And, then it’s been all Michael Jackson. Usually, you see a little tribute (via t.v.) to a star who’d just past, but, I’ve seen absolutely nothing in the last 36 hours on Farrah Fawcett.

Tink's avatar

@jmah -My point exactly. GA

DeanV's avatar

I haven’t heard anything about Michael Jordan.

Tink's avatar

@dverhey Whats up with him?

DeanV's avatar

MJ joke…

Tink's avatar

@dverheyI think I get it, he made a MJ joke

applesaucemanny's avatar

@Tink1113 yeah… he kinda told you straightforward

Tink's avatar

@applesaucemanny -Duh, but I thought he was joking, but then I thought about it

DeanV's avatar

Never mind. Flew over everybody’s heads.

The joke was intended to be about me not hearing anything about “MJ”. a name usually associated with Michael Jordan, the basketball player.

Tink's avatar

@dverhey – IAS I berly got it

applesaucemanny's avatar

@dverhey I got it I was just having a little fun

knitfroggy's avatar

I’m not tired of it. I am actually getting ready to go flip on the news and see what they’re saying now. Doubt it’s much different from what I heard last, but I’m interested

mammal's avatar

is he still dead? i missed the latest, news bulletin

Randy's avatar

Well, I haven’t got 1,000 “OMG HE’S ALIVE”‘s yet so I think it’s safe to assume so.

mammal's avatar

Due to the fact that Michael Jackson was 99% plastic, he will be melted down into lego blocks so little kids can play with him….for a change.

pezz's avatar

Bites of him might still be alive

MacBean's avatar

@mammal—My nephew sent that to me as a text message earlier today. Along with “To commemorate Michael Jackson’s life, McDonald’s will be introducing a new MJ Burger – 50-year-old meat between 10-year-old buns.” I texted back to remind him that Farrah Fawcett died recently, too, and not to forward me more txt jokes unless they were tasteless anal cancer ones. XD

DeanV's avatar

I have a feeling that if the cremate him he will just melt.
