  - we are all special and unique flowers. - b! Jun 25, 17:50
  - The post immediately below? -- nm - mara Jun 25, 17:46 8
    - fwiw, i don't think of that at all for something like that. personal tastes or circumstances are what they are. -- nm - b! Jun 25, 17:52
    - oh, seriously? owning MJ does not make one different or superior. he's eschewed by alt rockers, which most of us are here. - the haterstown campus loves mandy lane Jun 25, 17:47 6
      - No, I think you miss the point. *Not* owning MJ makes you different/superior. (I could be wrong, of course.) -- nm - mara Jun 25, 17:49 5
        
        if that was the case everybody poor would feel great every day! -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 25, 18:08
        
        Hmm. I don't think of it like that. Just not my thing. At all. -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 17:50
        
        whatever. we should all just listen to who we love and not be embarrassed. I adore that crappy nickelback song. I don't care who knows it. -- nm - the haterstown campus loves mandy lane Jun 25, 17:50 2

How is it that so many people here have little to no Michael Jackson in their collection??? - Jim Jun 25, 17:42 24
- jim! jim! can I get a witness? (I have thriller, blood, b & w, bad, off the wall, greatest hits) -- nm - the haterstown campus loves mandy lane Jun 25, 17:46
- I truly don't. It's not that I think I'm superior, I just don't collect much pop. -- nm - mara Jun 25, 17:46
- I have some Thriller songs. But once he went wacko pedophile it's hard to listen to them and remove myself from the person. -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 17:45
- All rubbish. I ditched one girl after dating her for several weeks when I learned she was a big fan. -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 17:44

  - Was that the one with Bad? -- nm - Shaun - 2008 Caveman Champion Jun 25, 17:44
  - Black and White, Remember the Time, Dangerous, In the Closet, Heal the World. - Jim Jun 25, 17:44 2
    - oh, shit. I thought b & w was the disc. see? itunes jades us. -- nm - the haterstown campus loves mandy lane Jun 25, 17:48
    - this is scary indeed -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 25, 17:46
- hmmmm taste? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 25, 17:43 12
  - Yeah...just let me know when you find a better pop album than Thriller. nm - Jim Jun 25, 17:43 11
    - yep. His legacy has been tainted, of course, but that album is pretty close to pop perfection. - Callisto Jun 25, 17:46
    - who the fuck cares for that kid of "pop" i ask - Danedukenuuk Jun 25, 17:45 5
      - I *adore* britney spears. want to mess with me next? -- nm - the haterstown campus loves mandy lane Jun 25, 17:48 2

Based on HHGG, Sam Rockwell does have the flair to play Jackson ... -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 25, 17:33 1
- (but first he has to finish Dragonslayer: The Coach Wade Chronicles) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 25, 17:34
this Michael Jackson video on MTV right now is the most bizarre video ever. -- nm - Jovian Jun 25, 17:31 4

The news are wondering what time he died. But, technically, I think only the ER physician can call the time of death. So wouldn't the time be after - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 25, 17:23 4
- who cares! he was highly overrated and fucking creepy. -- nm - inargunzargun Jun 25, 17:32 3
  - I'll give you creepy, but to say he was overrated is a bit much IMO -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 17:33 2
    - tyou don't have the biggest selling album *of all time* just from hype. he had talent and skills. - b! Jun 25, 17:39 1

On a completely unrelated note: I think it's fitting that we are apparently not going to predict Transformers 2 b.o. on the facebook game. It'd be - Qale Jun 25, 17:14

I've wondered what Michael's kids are like. Will their lives become more "normal" now or are they totalling messed up for life? -- nm - CovingtonCat Jun 25, 17:02 15

  - *sigh* -- nm - kelly Jun 25, 17:10
  - I wonder what they're like *now*. Has anyone ever heard them speak or anything? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 25, 17:09 1
    - I wonder too, but all in all it's better than they're shielded from the media. -- nm - mara Jun 25, 17:47
  - Fail. -- nm - Qale Jun 25, 17:09
- Depends on what finances MJ had left. I'm sure family will take them in, but the chances of those kids having a "normal" life are nil. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 17:04
- were the mothers ever revealed? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 25, 17:03 4

        big news for sure, like George Harrison. But McCartney's death will be stop the presses big. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 17:03
marcel: This is one of those "collector" headlines. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 16:55 10
- zeitgeist is probably right with the overwrap idea. Redesigning a front at this late stage is a huge deal. -- nm - Reagen Jun 25, 16:58 7
  - They've done it before -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 25, 17:01
  - possible. most newspapers were already printed and delivered 3-4 hours ago though -- nm - marcel Jun 25, 16:59 5
