Unfortunatly, this is exactly right.
there were food recalls?
in cookie dough, a certain brand
just proves how true this graph is…
Yep – I had bought some of that cookie dough and unfortunately I ate half of it (and yes, I got sick). Nothing a little Manuka honey couldn’t cure.
As Reika said, this is unfortunately true. All this coverage on how wonderful his musical career was, and so little on how he hurt little children.
Watch it there. He was never convicted.
Neither was OJ, you know…
So why am I currently in prison?
because u just can’t stop being u;-)
doesn’t mean he didn’t do it
Actually, the kid confessed to the media that he had made it all up, under pressure from his dad who didn’t approve of the friendship.
And who wanted the money that MJ paid. That’s just what he would do….give them the money. He didn’t care about that. It was the little boy who suffered because of what HIS FATHER made him do. Imagine how that man must feel now? I hope he realizes what he has done to his son and to MJ.
Just because you say you’re not an idiot, doesn’t mean it’s true.
doesn’t mean that he did it either, while i believe he didn’t i guess we will never know for sure
When somebody dies you don’t just go around telling people of all of the bad things they did; don’t you want to be remembered for all of the great things you’ve done in your life instead of for the few bad things you’ve done when you die?
The Nazi Supremesists say that about Hitler all the time!
Good point.
a couple kids vs. 5.9 million Jews + 2–3 million Soviet POWs + 1.8–2 million Polish + 220,000–1,500,000 Romani + 200,000–250,000 Disabled + 5,000–15,000 Homosexuals + 2,500–5,000 Jehovah’s
Witnesses
I can’t even believe how they can air all this bad information about Hitler.
Tschüss
And, yeah, I really did get the joke, but I’ve argued with a Nazi supremacist before, so…
^^Argue with that
Point being that if someone does something as horrific as molesting children it shouldn’t be forgotten and glossed over as if it never happened just because that person happened to be admired before they did what they did. The point wasn’t that Michael Jackson was equal to Hitler but that the concept is the same.
“Point being that if someone does something as horrific as molesting children it shouldn’t be forgotten and glossed over as if it never happened”
The reason it’s being forgotten and glossed over as if it never happened, is because in reality it never happened.
tru dat, and to u haters its sad wen a bad person dies because they’ll never have a chance to do a good thing…
The parents made that up. Do you have any idea how easy it is to coerce a child to believe something. If you keep pressuring them and saying “sweaty, did he hurt you” eventually they’ll say yes, just to appease their parents. He was really close to Mccauley Culkin when he was a child, and when all this happened he said he’d never even felt uncomfortable around him.
And lady Kitteh makes a valuable pint as well.
I know, right?!
It’s more like 95% Michael, 3% Other celebrity deaths, 2% All other news.
More like 95% Michael, 3% other news, and 2% celebrity deaths. Farrah has been dead for a week now and I’ve only heard about her twice on TV. I heard a few ‘other news’ stories this past week, even though they were short and segued back to Michael. Still, I heard more other news than other celebrity deaths. Sad, too. Personally, I’m more sad over Farrah and she’s not getting the media attention she deserves right now. :/
it upsets me that farrah has been totally forgotten even though she was a great actress and a strong woman…heck even something on mays would be nice, the news is only repeating what everyone already knew about michael jackson. what new information can they have on mj? seriously?
agreed. i’m sick of hearing only micheal jackson music at work all day. i’m sick of people saying “have you heard about mj?” a week later.
yes, he’s dead now. and so are other people. you didn’t know him personally, so stop acting like your dad just died.
sorry to be so cold, but i have more meaningful deaths to deal with in my life than some “icon” who i really didn’t have any personal feelings for.
man learn to ignore things you don’t care about instead of being frustrated
Amen to that ritchie!
Don’t forget the coup d’etat in Honduras!
Things had gotten ridiculous even before six TVs at the gym, all on different channels, were simultaneously offering the latest on MJ. Then they switched to the President giving a town meeting…and then back to MJ. I mean, wow, Iran must have been awfully boring, right?
Forgot Jon Minus Kate + Eight
I haven’t heard a word about that in this past week except a few hours before Micheal’s death.
nah they’re old news atm
Mark Stanford probably deserved a little slice if that pie.
Jackson pulled just about the right stunt to keep SC from getting any more bad press (this time around). Exactly what we need is for the last 4 people to know about our idiot governor.
I consider the fact that he is not on this pie to be mission accomplished!
My penis was gonna be on the news but it was too big. You’re all wusses.
Any woman want a real man, look me up.
I don’t know why you post these…. There’s no possible way that any woman would ever look you up, or has. But hey, that’s desperation for you….
Go away. You are unworthy.
yeah, to big of an ego……….
swine flu is soooo out! no one even cares about it anymore, maybe swine flu should do a sex tape and then people would start caring about it again.
I think we’re all pretty knowledgeable about swine flu now, and yes we do all care.
.
But your suggestion regarding a questionable tape regaining the harsh light of the news media is probably spot on.
who cared? how many people were infected and died? oh. not as many as during a regular flu.
now… if the pig went and killed a million people in one hour, then maybe it would bump MJ off the top news spot
Doubt it.
I think more celebrities died last week than the total people who died from swine flu.
Swine flu is still around, and the symptoms are kind of like normal seasonal flu. In other news, water still wet, sky still blue, Diana still dead.
I heard swine flu had herpes.
Very true. When I was in Paris, this was literally the only thing on the news. For three whole days.
Pretty much the only thing on Canada news.
When I was in Paris, she kept complaining about having a difficult decision about which of her BFF contestants was going home this week.
don’t forget local spanish news!
if you saw Jon Stewart, he did an episode a couple nights ago that showed this perfectly…it was also hilarious
Huh, funny. I just noticed there’s no ‘anything meaningful’ section of the graph.
Sadly, GJ doesn’t let you add a 0% slice.
that swine flu one has to be way smaller. and food recalls shouldn’t even be there.
there was a metro crash????? i didn’t even hear, all i saw on the news was michael jackson.
lol….
Same goes for the graphs posted here…
what about billy mays? he should be on the pie chart
You know, they say deaths come in threes.
First there was David Carradine, then Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson. But look at Billy Mays throwing in a fourth one for no extra charge!!
Don’t forget Ed McMahon.
and Steve McNair
And no one here even realizes that no one said anything about cap and trade. That 1600-page bill that no one read that could end up being effectively the biggest tax increase in U.S. history and won’t even affect the temperature by 1/2 a degree by 2100? Intentionally raising energy prices, and therefore prices on everything, in the middle of the greatest recession in 70 years? Yeah, that’s not important.
Just like the news, this graph also completely neglected Billy Mays’ death. At least there’s a strong support for him in the video game world.
0% Farrah Fawcett’s Death
Nobody cares about the death of Farrah Fawcett. ‘Specially noone on the news.
Farrah Fawcett’s death was very sad, however was also very expected. She had been ill a long time. MJ’s death was just so unexpected and tragic. And his status as the King of Pop made it all the more newsworthy. I hope they are both at peace.
The red section needs to be much MUCH larger
Just to clear some things up: When I made this graph, Honduras was out of the news and Billy Mays was alive. And there was a food recall; of beef, I believe.
Which economy are you takling about?
I like how Iran’s slice is green.
Someone joked with me recently that Ahmadinejad won the election “on bonus points”
Specify “in America”. It’s only there that the news are *that* easily distracted.
ps. MJ forever anyway.
this must be a graph of CNN, MSNBC, FOX, &c. Just go to BBC and EURO to find news. Why bother with American entertainment for the stupid??
Nope, BBC was full of it as well.
Hey, Unless you have first hand knowledge, don’t bother to comment on Michael Jackson’s innocent/guilt as it is hearsay. If you don’t have any children, then you don’t have a clue as to how concerning those allegations were, If you do have children, how many of you would have felt comfortable leaving you child/children alone with Michael Jackson? Nuff said.
He was an entertainer that made a load of money with his talent, succumbed to the crush of the enormous pressure of his fame, and ultimately broke. A sad story, but that is all it is…Nothing more.
I don’t think my mom would be fine with any random stranger who isn’t my babysitter staying at my house.
I know I would have never let my child stay with someone, superstar or not without ‘knowing them’. Shame on the parents that didn’t do their homework. I still don’t feel he every did anything that he was accused of…but he was sure taken advantage of.
I would not have wanted his life. I’m sure the only pleasure he really ever had was his 3 beautiful children who are now, because of the pressure, accusations and whatever else, are now fatherless.
What’s the difference between Michael Jackson and caviar?
…caviar still comes on little white crackers.
BREAKING NEWS
MICHAEL JACKSON STILL DEAD
Michael Jackson molested children.
OJ killed his wife.
It happened. Can’t begin to comprehend why on earth people try to defend these two people.
People who you’ve never met and never will.
How are you so sure? The kid confessed he made it up under the pressure of his parents. “It happened” you know nothing man, stop the random speculations.
Hey, dude. You’re a kiddy fiddler too. PROVE ME WRONG. Doesn’t matter that you’ve not been arrested, or that I’ve got no evidence, you’re still a kiddy fiddler.
while the actual crime is not at all funny, “kiddy fiddler” has got to be the most hilarious thing I’ve read in weeks.
Keep your negativity to yourself. Do your research. Watch the movie “Man In The Mirror”. Pathetic.
Walk a day in his shoes – you couldn’t handle it. He took the persecution with grace – never retaliated. Only to make a statement that he was innocent. The eyes say it all. His eyes were not that of a criminal…now…his father’s on other hand…. look at them.
The news coverage in the summer of 1977 when Elvis died was equal to what we see with MJ today, just more channels and the internet too.
L.A. is complaining about paying for crowd control…they should do what memphis did & cash in on graceland…mecca, 2;-)
what about the 20 pence peices without dates which the bank of england is offering £50 for the return of?
LOL….I think the red should be a bit bigger
Honestly, I’m of hearing about all of the other stuff. At least with the Michael Jackson news, even tho it was very sad because of his death, it also relayed to everyone FINALLY what amazing Humanitarian he was. Some good news for once!!!
thats so true. i just turned to the news and they’re talking about him.
WTF!
