R.I.P MJ (okay back to Iran plz)
Alright so Michael Jackson died at age 50, im sure everyone knows. I was watching the story unfold on the news from when he was being taken to the hospital to the point where news channels slowly but surely confirmed his death. To be honest I didn't really like the guy...cuz he's hella weird. Don't deny it you know he's weird. Still kinda sad to see such an amazing star die so sudden. I had no idea a story like this could be so big though. News is still talking about him, MTV played a bunch of vids in tribute of him, radio stations were constantly playing Michael Jackson songs, the entire internet is talking about him and such...it's just crazy.
So i take a step back and think about what's going on.
It's one person.
Yeah sure, an amazing musician who sold over 750 million records world wide! Known all over the world as the King of Pop!
It's just crazy to me how just a couple days ago something more impacting on our world was the talk of the news. Then one person dies and it's like what's going on in Iran doesn't even matter. Like wtf...really? I mean I understand MJ's death was huge and shocked the world but it's something we can get over. But yea I get it haha..been hearing the same thing for 12 hours now, back to the other story please! I wanna know what's going on in Iran damnit! People are fighting and dying for there freedom!
I know its sad that he died and everything but cmon there's so much more important shit going on right now. Like...show this MJ stuff on TMZ or something, they're pretty good at celeb news right? I dunno I guess I'm one of those people who are more interested in stuff going on in the world today. Something that could and probably will effect our future. Something I can watch and wish there was something I could do to help but I can't. I just think the story on Iran is so much more important and all of the sudden no one seems to care.
I dunno...I'm sure this story will be over in the next few days and on to the next most interesting thing. Sometimes I feel like the news is just there for ratings and to see who can get the most accurate information the fastest....stupid media.
Edit: I also wanted to include that I have no disrespect for the guy. I think it's pretty messed up that people continue to make fun of him after he's passed. I'm not going to change my opinions about him, as a person he was weird..as a talent he was brilliant. I just think he should be given the respect anyone should be given when they've passed away. My opinion on Iran and other things being more important than his death is entirely different than the respect I have for him and that others should be giving him and not spreading rumors or cracking jokes.

yea I just got pretty pissed watching the news earlier. tons of stories about MJ, 2 minutes about Farrah, NOTHING about Iran, N Korea, or the rest of the world! At this point, I don't much care about MJ, rather I care to learn more about the threat of nuclear war, the effects of climate change, and oh, how about the ongoing genocide in Darfur? I guess we all forgot about that one. -_-
