Daggle Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 For once I agree with Antz, I think the bad taste jokes are disgusting, he was a human being after all and at least deserves some dignity in death even if he didn't get any from the press in life. I was and always will be a big fan, I'm just glad that I can remember the best years. Legend is a word that is over used, but he was up there with Elvis and The Beatles, There won't be another one like him, inspirational!
Toby Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 tasteless jokes You should all be ashamed. How would you feel if one of your close relatives died suddenly before their time and all people could do is send round silly tasteless jokes about his death. Sicko's. R.I.P MJ It's cos we're bad, we're bad. You know it I'm not sure now is the time for bad taste jokes - so Beat it! (Sorry ) Who really knows what he ever got up to? I notice the press have all done a U turn... I said last night - I bet no papers head lines read - Wacko Dead! I was right. I don't trust any news papers and don't buy them. I remember his music with affection and dont judge him. Have to admit he was a bit odd though Feel for his kids.
Slammed Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 i wont make any jokes(i have loads) but i do feel for him,his family and his children. this was so unexpected,it was just unreal, i heard it thorugh the radio last night! he was/and still is a legend,king of pop! so sudden, and also hmv have signs down my local saying, no micheal jackson cds for sale so, hang on to your jackson cd's i say!
antz Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 I am neither sorry or happy he's dead, and can't help thinking this is for the best..... You are a really nice person Fred. I honestly cant believe you would say ITS FOR THE BEST!? I am lost for words with that comment. Why was this moved to the corner?
caprinerd Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 my personal views on him as a person dont come into it but his music was a stepping stone in the music history, like hendrix ,i couldnt stand his music but again he was a stepping stone in music history all the bad and sick jokes that are flying around is just disrespectful to the dead, the man was a legend in his own right love his music or hate his music there is no doubt it was a big influence
FredTransit Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 I am neither sorry or happy he's dead, and can't help thinking this is for the best..... You are a really nice person Fred. I honestly cant believe you would say ITS FOR THE BEST!? I am lost for words with that comment. Why was this moved to the corner? yep, 2.30am US time. I am neither sorry or happy he's dead, and can't help thinking this is for the best. Sorry for his children, but at least it stops him passing on his wako opinions to them.... If you read (or quote the rest of what I said) you will see I said I am sorry for his children, but are you forgetting he dangled one of them out of a hotel window? Not hardly the actions of a stable parent. He covered their faces in public. This is all well documented, not hearsay or found to be not true by a jury. Had he not been so rich and famous I doubt he would have hung on to his children anyway.
Posse Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 Also he wasn't a peter file he only put 20 million dollars in that kids account for fun But in all fairness he was a legend
mex255l Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 News update from Knowsley safari park is that Bubbles is on suicide watch. pmsl.
Dr Feelgood Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 I am neither sorry or happy he's dead, and can't help thinking this is for the best..... You are a really nice person Fred.

Had he not been so rich and famous I doubt he would have hung on to his children anyway. its a bit harsh fred, he was what he was and a person at the end of the day, the face covering was to protect his kids from the media and he was found on countless occasions to be a good father, one mistake should not condemn a man for life and death

Had he not been so rich and famous I doubt he would have hung on to his children anyway. i had a similar opinion the thing about him most of the comments of he was a legend should end in about 15 years ago. he was not the same person any more he had very little of the money left that is why he was doing a comeback! when my mate told me he had tickets 2 a mj thing i laughed at him said he would never do it this just proved it rly! i feel sorry for his family but he was proper messed up in the head! yes he was a human so RIP but why is it such a shock that there are jokes about it and my issue is his music will be everywhere yes its good sometimes but not all hours for weeks like it will be!
Retro-gone. Posted June 27, 2009 Report Posted June 27, 2009 you can bet gary glitter wont get the same attention when he pops his clogs.
capri71 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Posted June 27, 2009 I'm a fairly cynical bloke but I don't think he was a kiddy fiddler. I think he was a nutter due to his childhood, career and the fame and money it brought him for about 45 out of 50 years. He was an idiot but not a bad soul at heart I only actualy liked billyjean as far as the music goes, the rest was crap.
Daggle Posted June 27, 2009 Report Posted June 27, 2009 Why is this in the Corner? I thought it was a genuine half decent topic with people giving personal opinions?
bortaf Posted June 27, 2009 Report Posted June 27, 2009 Sorry but anyone in the public eye who acts so frikken wierd, hangs babys over balconys, sleeps with kids in his bed and pays off people instead of taking his fight to court and publicly getting proven inocent is going to get slated and the pee taken. Every single joke he bought on himself, tis the price you pay for being famouse and a wierd fooked up MOFO. If he had any sense he would have died earlyer before all the shite hit the fan and then he would have the "ah what a nice bloke" memorys, i didn't see anyone jumping to Gary Gliters defence when the jokes came out, some people just can't see beyond thier record collection
antz Posted June 27, 2009 Report Posted June 27, 2009 Sorry but anyone in the public eye who acts so frikken wierd, hangs babys over balconys, sleeps with kids in his bed and pays off people instead of taking his fight to court and publicly getting proven inocent is going to get slated and the pee taken.Every single joke he bought on himself, tis the price you pay for being famouse and a wierd fooked up MOFO.

I asked why it was moved to the corner also Daggle.
Takeshi Posted June 27, 2009 Report Posted June 27, 2009 R.I.P, a great and sad loss. Thr guy was famous since he was like 6, so when all his mates were out riding there bikes he was performing in front of thousands of people. No childhood at all I hink this can contribute towards his behaviour. I do generally beleive he was a nice guy, and why reference Gary Glitter? I never see anything nice about GG so its kind of irelivent. (sp) All the people that knew MJ said he was a good guy with a good heart. Regardless of what happened.
garyv6100e Posted June 27, 2009 Report Posted June 27, 2009 you can bet gary glitter wont get the same attention when he pops his clogs. The difference with Gary Glitter is that he was found guilty of child sex crimes in this country and abroad Jacko was found INNOCENT . Jackson was a great entertainer so hope he is remembered for the music and not the weird stuff R.I.P jacko
FredTransit Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 Sorry but anyone in the public eye who acts so frikken wierd, hangs babys over balconys, sleeps with kids in his bed and pays off people instead of taking his fight to court and publicly getting proven inocent is going to get slated and the pee taken.Every single joke he bought on himself, tis the price you pay for being famouse and a wierd fooked up MOFO.

On the other hand, none of his brothers are (apparently) as wako as MJ was, and they had the same weird early life and background. This says there was something wrong with him. True, you can't argue with the fact he sold the most records ever, that's only the public facet of the man, it doesn't make him personally perfect. It's also interesting there is no sympathy for Gary Glitter (rightly so), and even though it's possible that MJ slept with children in all innocence, the cause has the same effect, and has no less impact on the children involved. And speaking of children, I wonder how may years of therapy MJ's kids will undergo? Or will they just see themselves as normal in their normality?
mk1super Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 On a serious note i hope he finds the peace and happiness in death he never found in life, say what you will about him he was the king of pop and lead the way for many other artists RIP MJ
over_head_cam Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 I think that a lot of the time, the jokes that go around are just a way for the people that write them to have some sense of notoriety (even if they remain anonymous) I am of the opinion that MJ was a product of his childhood, just like the rest of us. It is very hard to pull yourself away from the way that things have been branded into your brain from an early age. As usual, I blame the parents. I would like those who have mocked his death and in fact those who have said that they are glad that he is dead to consider how they would feel if their father had been accused of child abuse, then tried and ultimately CLEARED of all charges, only to have that stigma attatched to them for the rest of their life. Then to cap it all your dad died at the age of 50 and still everyone wants to tear you to shreds for what I see as being 'different' or 'strange' or 'eccentric' (like we sometimes get called for liking old cars). We all make mistakes in life and MJ was no different.
FredTransit Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 Well, actually my dad died when I was 13, and my mother some 7 years later in a psychiatric hospital. By some strange twist of fate I managed to avoid interfering with children..... As I said MJ's brother's managed to be apparently unscathed.
over_head_cam Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 MJ's parents didn't die, he died. And as said before, surely he was innocent of any wrongdoing until proven guilty?
FredTransit Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 MJ's parents didn't die, he died. And as said before, surely he was innocent of any wrongdoing until proven guilty? I don't get what you mean about the parents.....No smoke without fire!
over_head_cam Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 I don't do cliche sayings Fred. How many people have been accused of things over the years who were innocent? How many people are ridiculed and persecuted because they do not conform to the 'norm'. If indeed there is no smoke without fire then all accusations on anything, towards anyone must be true. As a side note, my cigarettes smoke without fire You said your parents died and you are 'normal'. MJ's parents didn't die, but they are the main reason for the way he was brought up, and fooked up.
