You know what? I wasn't a great Michael Jackson fan, but I do recognise what he and his family contributed to music.
For months we were bombarded with Jade Goody threads - updates on her progress, updates on her treatment, updates on her relationship with Jack, updates on what will happen to her kids, updates on her bloody funeral procession and who the heck was she? Someone who appeared on Big Brother in the UK 5 or 6 years ago. The ONLY thing she did was play the media.
I don't give a monkey's if people don't like him. I don't give a monkey's if people think he was guilty of child abuse (although he was found innocent of all charges). The fact is that there are people who loved him for his music and by belittling their opinon, you are only belittling yourself.
The point that EVERYONE misses, is that no-one's belittled anyone's right to feel sad. The abuse has been flying ONLY from MJ fans who think we should all feel the same way.
If I have to say this again, I might eat my own head
Please point this out to me then. Yeah, you get the few who only live their lives through celebrities - be it, Twitter, OK!, Hello, etc. Other than those nutters, is anyone DEMANDING that you start a thread belittling those who do feel a loss?
I should have started a thread when Jade died belittling her deluded fans then. Because that's what I think this thread is all about.
Who started a thread belittling anyone? :boggle:
Uh, You in your opening post "Am I missing sumat?
Sorry to start another MJ thread, but if I see 'have some respect' one more time, I might have to peel my face off (not as a tribute).
Some people didn't like him. A fact not changed by him snuffing it. Get over it."
Did you post something similar when Jade died? Nah. It was an obvious dig at the people who admired him for accomplishing something with his life.
I don't bloody care that you, personally, can't see that, but others can.
