The Jackson FuneralFest

[21]

I feel like I have to watch, just so I know what happened when people say, 'Can you believe....'

Just admit it, you're watching too.

The Jackson motorcade has arrived at Forest Lawn for the 'private service.' Is it technically a private service if you have helicopters hovering overhead?

 

[Bad Guy Zero]

I think there will be more people watching/listening to this online than there were for Obama's inauguration. Certainly some Republicans like Michael Jackson.

Maybe, but I don't think they're allowed to admit it.

 

[Barsuk]

I will not watch this, not for one second. I was done with this story a long time ago.

 

[trifectarich]

Thankfully, I cannot watch. (Would not watch even if I could.)

Where's he being buried? Wherever it is, I can't imagine how many security people are going to be hired.

YOU'RE HIRED!

And no, I won't watch either.

I'm going to watch because Liz Taylor will be watching from afar.

 

[21]

I think you will not be able to avoid watching, in some way.

If I was Obama, I would do some really unpopular things today, because there will be no media to cover it.

 

[spnited]

I will not watch second of this circus.
The idea that everything must stop for a celebrity funeral makes me sick.
Hopefully, after today we can be done with the Michael Jackson bull****. Enough, already!

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Did I miss something? What happened to Michael Jackson?

He went to sleep.

Someone inside that funeral has to be twittering.

We couldn't watch the Obama Inaugural because the ContentOne feed didn't work.

If anyone is looking for an event that sums up the shallowness of today's society...

 

[21]

The casket comes out of the chapel, and Soledad reports, solemnly: 'Wow, he's really dead.'

So I guess now we know.

 

[spnited]

L&O SVU repeat on USA!

 

[andyouare?]

So I guess now we know.

So we think!

And then he pops out and starts doing the choregraphed Thriller dance with pall bearers.

Oh my god, I can't believe this is happnenning right now. This is amazing!

So am I.

 

[BTExpress]

I will not watch it on TV.
I will not watch it on DVD.
I will not blog it on the net.
I will not twitter 'cause I don't do that yet.
I will not watch it here or there.
I will not watch it anywhere.
I do not like Jacko 24/7
Good thing I won't see him when I get to heaven.

My favorite moment so far was the fans interviewed outside the service who rode a bus from Greensboro, N.C. for three days and "sold everything in our house" just so they could see Michael. BTW, they didn't get a ticket.
So they're just standing on the street, and won't get to see the funeral.
I can't wrap my mind around people like this... I guess they symbolize our culture's absolute obsession with fame, but I just don't understand them. So stupid.
