With the imminent release of the 2010 model, I had to come back and watch this one. I didn't realize it was 7 minutes long--all music. They really chopped it back in 1985. It brought back memories with friends. Also, a hilarious comedy bit by Bette Midler on her "Mud will be FLUNG tonight"Album. It was strictly comedy with maybe two musical numbers.....but she came off a hilariously funny riff with the following..."WE are the rich....we are the famous...." I look forward to the new one.....With the Divine Miss M's background position in this '85 version and her busy schedule, the resident diva will be Barbra. We don't need the last name.......This new woman whose name out diva's all the women in the first one....Diana Ross, the Pointer Sisters, Patti Austin, Dionne Warwick, Tina Turner....I will be tuned in this Friday for the opening ceremonies for the OLYMPICS in Vancouver to see this new version. AND PLEASE REMEMBER---this money is for people who never had anything before the earthquake, and absolutely nothing now. And the saddest, the orphans. Let's help them. Buy ten copies and hand them out. I live in UTAH--have nothing to do with this organization, but we need to help. And we need to not stop in Haiti....there are so many places that are so bad we would think they set it up and then ran behind a jungle wall an hopped into a Bentley and went home.....JUST HELP

Guys, its the daily fail.

The paper for people that hate everything, and think that Diana was murdered by the SAS.

Thank you graciously, Sire!

It looks like Diana, Princess of Whales also had a singing career?

In case anyone is confused about Jimmy Carr's commentary, please watch this instructional video of his that explains exactly what he's doing here.

To go a bit further, I would say that he's also keying off another aspect common to comedy: the impertinent truth. Sure, it's ghastly to say you didn't care about Diana dying, and don't care that Michael Jackson has just died. But the truth is, anyone with even a moderate grip on sanity thinks that the attention paid to both deaths was and is ghoulishly offensive in more ways than not.

Yes, it's big news that he died. Yes, the tabloids will be going nuts as the legal questions are settled about his estate, custody of his children, ownership of his music rights, and even the "true" circumstances of his death.

But why has this been the top story on the nightly national news every night since?

His death even gets a full segment of the ostensibly politics-oriented programs on MSNBC (Hardball, Ed Show, Countdown, and Maddow, often as the top story there as well) every night, even when we've got a lot of the usual political news going on, not to mention global news like the protests in Iran, the protests in China, the coup in Honduras, and nuclear weapons talks in Russia...

So yeah, I'm sad that Michael Jackson died. I'd be lying if I didn't say that I'm sorry he's gone.

But for God's sake, it's not that big of a fucking deal.

^ I think that's most of the way true. I think he was a pedo bastard and a musical genius, a really strange, messed-up maniac in all, but he could really fucking dance and write a beat.

Also, ponceleon, never spite a rich person for being a philanthropist. It's backwards and makes you sound like a brat. If Diana has the means to jet off to where ever the fuck she's going to talk about landmines, and still look good, then good for her and good for the cause. Sadly her position and glamor could raise awareness more than the combined shouts of every inhabitant of every warzone she visited. Why spite her for attempting to make atrocities known? Or I guess it might suit her better to just lounge in her castle and eat peeled grapes all day. Yeah I'd much rather her do that. They're aren't enough Paris Hilton's in the world.

I do not share Carr's analogy. I felt no kharmic balance when Diana was killed.

Frankly, I gave a slight bit more of a fuck that MJ died than Diana. I mean, MJ at least produced the music which I associate with my formative years (insert pedo joke here), whereas Diana just married rich and had the luxury of having so much excess and free time in her life that she could dabble in philanthropy.

It's easy to be a philanthropist when you can jet off to Monaco between benefits, wear dresses once that could feed families for a few years, and get fucked by your bodyguard with no repercussions. People's princess my ass. By definition the royals are not the people's anything.

Edit: and before anyone says I'm just jealous of Diana, you are damned fucking right I am jealous of that lifestyle. Give me the paparazzi ANYDAY. I'd LOVE having the "problems" the royals have.

Unfortunately what various people completely fail to realise is that:

a) He's taking the piss out of the people who squeezed out some crocodile tears on the day of diana's/jackson's death, showing fake emotion for a shadow thrown by the media spotlight of a person they never knew.

b) He's a comedian. The people who he cares about will probably care that he dies, and he'd expect nothing more. And as has been stated before, if anyone DOES shed any crocodile tears for him his ghost'd be upset if no one took the piss, and also laugh.

I loved Michael Jackson when he was around. But i didn't know him at all. So i went "Oh.. that's a shame, he was awesome once." It was sad in the way that anyone dying is sad.

Well, a tremendous amount of people did give a fuck Jimmy. For Diana and for Michael.
Somehow I doubt there will be such an outpouring when you and your panel of dimwits bites it.


A tremendous amount of people did give a fuck... and Jimmy did not. He was giving his opinion. Get over it.

I recognize the impact MJ had as a musician, but I never liked his music. I didn't think he was completely guilty of all the allegations made against him, so I'm not passing judgment on him as a person.

So really, in the end, I couldn't give a fuck.

Well, a tremendous amount of people did give a fuck Jimmy. For Diana and for Michael.

From Youtube:
"OHP says before the home video was recording, the paramedic assaulted the state trooper.
Witness Diana Walkup says the paramedic never touched anyone until the patrolman grabbed his arm."

There is a lot more info there, but I still have no idea why the ambulance was pulled over in the first place...

-fixed. Thanks
