Look!
"I was at Glastonbury when Jacko died. That's not a factual statement, but a T-shirt slogan. The day after his death, souvenir tops with "I was at Glasto 09 when Jacko died" printed on them were already on sale around the site. In fact, when Jacko died, I was at home playing Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars on a Nintendo DSi. I am 38 years old."
Lack of respect shown
Charlie Brooker can do no wrong.

Thus the early focus on the doctor and now the insinuation that the promoters were responsible by demanding too much from him.

I don't think Michael Jackson ever had the press in his pocket. They seemed to have done their best to make his life a misery. Even now there are pictures of him on a stretcher all over the net, despite Jermaine's request for privacy *shrugs*
Trust me! They have the media in their pocket, and they are working it a treat.
He is now public property number one for sometime to come.....
Now that dad of his, can be a manager again all over
Its all going overboard now, Sky text are reporting that up to 12 people, possibly one from Britain have committed suicide in the wake of Michael Jacksons death. Celebrity websites and fan site are carrying details of the samaritans, now sorry and all that but that is just going over the top, or am I just being cynical?

Well and truly over the top.
So it was all a horrible dream... I didnt spend an hour on here debating Jacko's jesus juice?
It's not a new phenomenon (blimey that took some spelling - and it could still be wrong!) though is it, this suicide over a celeb thing?
I'm sure I read reports that women killed themselves when Rudi Valentino died - and that was when mass media was in it's infancy

Contenders for the Darwin Award. I'd say.
I want to say something about of they're that stupid then maybe the gene pool isn't missing much...but I would never do such a thing
when Take That split up the first time they set up a samaritans help line for fans, though I think that was just for RZB
Someone had put up a RIP Michael Jackson banner on a roundabout near me today....stupid bint was then standing in the middle of the road taking pics of it!

Oh yeah I remember that, my friends daughter then 6 years old was in floods of tears over it every time it was on the news or a Take That song came on the radio. They reform - and she cant stand them!

Somebody, somewhere, should put Charlie Brooker in charge of everything. I LOVE him.

Darwin would have wanted you to do the right thing. Evolution needs a bit of a helping hand occasionally.quote:Originally posted by Veggieburger:quote:Originally posted by FGG Aka Crocodile Rock:quote:Originally posted by Veggieburger:quote:Originally posted by FGG Aka Crocodile Rock:

"mourn porn"
I like that,"mourn porn" ifyoulikeitsomuchwhydontyougolivethere.com AKA "spEak Youâre bRanes" has had a good one for a long time "grief athletes"
i love both those sayings im gonna pinch them
It really is astonishing when you sit back and look at it rationally.
I'm sure that that Oliver (someone psychologist bloke) who wrote a lot in the media after Diana died had a good phrase as well.
Can't remember what it was though

The displays of emotion over the death of Princess Diana have been interpreted as evidence of a less "buttoned up" culture.

LMAO kaffy
I think it was a bit less Eastenders and a bit more Priory though
I love them both 'mourn porn' and 'grief athletes', I know someone suggested a channel whereby only celebrity funerals were shown 24/7, would that be classed as mourn porn?

That's him Joe, thanks.
I'm sure he went on one about mass hysteria and the oneupmanship of grief - but I could be getting him mixed up with another talking head

Good point! I'm 'blatantly unintereted bordering on disrespect' - I couldn't stand him when he was alive; I'm certainly not going to pretend to like, or respect him now that he's dead.
