it would be one thing if they simply reported it and were done. Maybe a memorial show a little later (they're already running them--I think I saw a Farrah one earlier, or maybe it was a repeat of her documentary, and it was going to be followed by a Michael Jackson special. Can we say over-prepared?)
But the media harps on the subject all the time--I don't need hour after hour of "no change." Just tell me what happened, tell me when it changes, and leave it at that!

Whew. Sorry 'bout that. Just annoys heck out of me.

2 days after his death, and there are no less than 24 different headlines on 3 different news websites this morning. Including one that reads, 'Jackson's Body Taken to Mortuary'...wtf?? Just one more reason that I absolutely hate the media. *shakes head* Of course, if people didn't read it, they wouldn't keep printing it...

Oh well, I'm done...that's my final rant...lol

I mean you kind of knew that eventually Farrah was going to go, but this came right out of left field. We were kind of joking saying that Michael stole poor Farrah's thunder. Because it was so sudden, more people are going to want to hear about it. I just can't believe it. I mean I couldn't believe it when Heath Ledger died. I still can't believe that one. I never was a fan of Michael and kind of think he was crazy and scary looking, but still. He is a legend in his own right. Just so weird. So weird, ya know?

I have to admit..I thought almost the same thing. Something like"Why that darned attention hog, he has to grab the spotlight every time!!"

I know, its a terrible way to think, but my mind always goes somewhere zany at times like this. Its a way to cope with tragedy maybe. Not that his death was any big tragedy to me, but it is to the entertainment world, and to his kids.
One thing I did think unnecessary was that picture of MJ in the ambulance......I really didn't want or need to see that over and over and over and over....but like they say in the news biz...if it bleeds, it leads.

Did you hear that it took his private doctor half an hour to call 911 because he didn't know the exact address???
