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.

Oh no this is not true burdy. I'll definitely be more put out when Jimmy carr dies. And you won't

Only one way to know for sure.

You know that Jimmy Carr's ghost will be laughing his ass off if some future comedian says he doesn't give a fuck that he just died!

hehe

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.

^ And burd was giving his opinion, we're all giving our opinions. Where's the line? Oh that's right, who gives a fuck

You all obviously give a fuck enough to comment on it...

^ KamikazeCricket

I comment on religion all the time not because i am a christian but because of the irrationality surrounding it and the behavior of so many deluded people.

Just because people comment on the MJ thing dose not always mean they give a fuck about MJ it can be that they think again a huge group of deluded people are acting disproportionately. (and other reasons)

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.

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.

What I want to know is what the Black Eyed Peas think of Michael Jackson's death. I really want to know how he influenced "Boom Boom Pow".

I think it's hilarious they way he's suddenly a saint after he's dead, but if you asked people a week before his death, they would basically all be "that pedo bastard blah blah".

Who the hell is calling him a saint?

^The Benedictine Church.

I agree with Jimmy Carr. Of course everything displayed most of the time in the media I don't give a care about to. Like watching Katrina coverage when it happened, all the time I was thinking "So? They died cause they are frackin morons"

Yeah, getting flooded out of their homes and left abandoned by their own government.. LOL! Idiots!


/shakes head

Don't forget all those people who died in 9/11, for being stupid enough to be in a building when it was hit by a plane.

Idiots.

I'm sorry that the media had nothing else to report on when the man passed away, and for the week that followed.

I'm also sorry for everyone out there who had nothing else to do but subject themselves to that over-reporting.

Upvote to spite burtturgler.

Michael Jackson's dead?
Shit.
And I had tickets. Last concert - I guess he wasn't kidding.

Oh Jimmy - so few words, so much to say.

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

Nice. Can't wait to see what you do if you ever get some stars here.

I deeply respect MJ's talent, and contribution to popular music, but that was fucking funny.

So you depend on the government to move you about when disaster strikes? You didn't see the weather and say "gees a Hurricane is coming this direction, I think i'm going to hold out cause whats the worse that could happen.."

/shakes head back at you.

Oh Dranzerk, you ignorant imbecile... the reason this wasn't a typical situation is because they didn't know that the levies would break and flood the city. It was an unknown quantity.

I lived through hurricane Hugo in PR when it happened. It was a direct hit, very comparable to Katrina. We didn't have electricity for a month or running water for 3 weeks after, but we were not flooded and that is the big difference.

Remember those news casts of people stuck on their roofs? What did you want them to do, swim away? Where? How long do you expect to live waterlogged, or trapped in a stadium with no actual aid?

Your oversimplification of the situation is so amazingly stupid, I really do hope you have to live through something like that at some point in your life, maybe then you'll realize you are just a typical internet "expert."

He's cool because he doesn't give a fuck.

>> ^gwiz665:

Not true. Those who called him a "pedo bastard" before is death still think he was a "pedo bastard". Those who thought the allegations were false, and think he was a musical genius, are sad about his death.

And I'd just like to add that MJ was awesome. (And this is coming from a metalhead.)

^ 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.

So I use reason and common sense. If that makes a person a internet expert then im a freakin god. The situation you posed still comes down to the same simple fact. They knew a hurricane was coming, they stayed.

And people regularly weather hurricanes. Whether it's a hurricane or typhoon, there are populations who know how to deal with it, except this time was different.

If anything it was an engineering disaster because floodwalls and levees broke below design specifications.

I doubt he was a kiddie fiddler, but the trial wasn't finished, so we can never really know.

He wrote a bunch of cool tunes, but was a weird personality. And I hated his stage show and the fact that he epitomized everything that is bad about America.

Oh STFU. You weren't there. You get no opinion that counts. Hurricanes are a way of life in the Gulf, just like earthquakes in California, crime in Detroit, murder in DC, or really good weed up here in BC. People live where they live for the reasons they have. Most of the people stranded by the floods had no means to run away from the destruction.

i dunno. his achievements are endless, so ye its kinda a big deal.

Maybe not a saint, but more like a priest.

He certainly touched a lot of people.

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.

^Thank you NetRunner for "getting" it. Whether or not he truly cares about MJ doesn't matter. The man is a comedian. That's his job. And he's damn good at it. He would be kicking himself if he didn't take advantage of the opportunity to say what he did when presented after minutes of the rest of the panel gushing on about how they'll miss him.

To sharply contradict everyone in such a harsh way is where the comedy nugget was hidden. And he dug it up!

Media coverage isn't a gauge to relevance as much as it is to ratings. Of course the media goes over the top for something like this. That doesn't mean people should feel insulted for "giving a fuck" about his death. There's a pretty short list of legends in the music industry and I can't think of any of them that are still living that had more of an impact than Michael Jackson. So, I think it is a pretty big deal. The fact that MSNBC can't get out of it's own way really doesn't change that. Seriously, when I hit MSNBC etc I want to get some news too and I am sick of the non-stop coverage of this death, but that has more to do with MSNBC and all the other media outlets than it does the significance of MJ's passing. It's two different issues.

Payback gets it, Dran's an idiot.

Edit: what offends me the most about Dranzerk's posts is that he THINKS he's being "rational" and using "common sense," and yet he's living in such a bubble that he doesn't realize that the situation is FAR more complex than what he's making it out to be.
