Let Michael Jackson rest in peace already! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ssudioTVgirl · 10-29-2009, 11:10 AM

I adore MJ - he was my first crush and one of my idols - and I am really, really sad he's gone....but, MY GOD, the man can't even rest in peace! All these so-called "news programs" have to get all over his case about the drugs and the money. My god, leave this man ALONE!!!! And, to be honest, I'm getting a little sick of hearing about it, just like I'm sick of all the stupid coverage about Jon & Kate, "Twilight", Octomom, David Letterman, "Balloon Boy", "Dancing With the Stars", ect. If we're going to zero in on Michael, how about zeroing in on his talent and his love of people and all the wonderful humanitarian things he's done rather than his drug problem and where his money's going? I never bought into all the crap people were saying about him. I knew he wasn't guilty of those crazy claims. I just saw him as a beautiful human being who brought alot of joy and great music to the world.

I agree, thank you.

Well, I've got a little piece of good news for you.... People are no longer laughing at MJ jokes after he died..... It be pretty heartless to make jokes about someone after they died.... I bet the people who made and laughed at MJ jokes when he was alive feel like crap now!

I still laugh at them

YAY FOR BEING HEARTLESS.

And I've been saying this for a while now. Stop with the T-shirts, bumper stickers, purses, etc and just LET THE MAN DIE.

I'm sorry if it offended you, I assure you that wasn't my intention. But people still laugh at Dean Martin being a drunk, or Bing Crosby being a child abuser and they're both dead. Michael's trial was infamous, and whether he was or was not a child molester, people are still going to joke about it. Just because he died doesn't make him Jesus.

Honestly I think it's sick that Michael's death is being exploited for financial gain. All this merchandise doesn't support his children or go to his estate. It goes to some fat, rich white guy in a suit. It's disgusting.

I feel sorry for the news stations though. Personally I just take what I learned from Michael and move on and smile whenever I hear his songs.

I agree wholeheartedly with the OP.

I'm getting sick of it all too, but somehow I knew this would happen. I mean, we were on Princess Diana overload and I didn't think it could get any worse. Then her tragic death, and OMG, afterwards, the media frenzy skyrocketed!
