I remember where I was during the OJ/Bronco chase.
I have no idea where I was when some aging, white, entertainer, pervert died.
 
Once again, I'm so glad that absolutely nothing else of any importance or significance is happening in the world, upon which they could be reporting, or which they could be investigating.

Well.. there really is only so many times they can report on the "public outrage over the Oil Spill"
 
I liked his music.... but....


He was a child molesting fucktard. I can't believe the majority of us and the media give him a pass on all the shit he's pulled just because he was a talented musician. What he did to children is far worse than any good he ever did with his music. Disgusting.

As Adam Carolla likes to say:

i can't remember for the life of me what i was doing when mj died. probably posting in OT or something. however, it's a bit surreal to think he's been dead a year now.
 
Of course people can't believe it's already been a year since he died....

since it's only been about 2 months since the damn news shows stopped talking about it.
 
Yeah, I remember getting a text from my SO's daughter (at school) asking "Did MJ die?", or something like that. Very memorable day for sure... 🙄
 
I am so damn sick of the crap of "OMG Michael Jackson died a year ago!" I think we need to ban his name from the airwaves for a while because he is getting far too much popularity for a pop singer who had very little impact on the music world. The only reason he is so popular is because of the popularity of the Thriller album and the fact that he was in the limelight his entire life. Screw him and his questionable race (just to prove I'm not racist).
 
Actually, I do remember because I had just been hospitalized. It's bad enough I was dying but there wasn't anything to watch between Dilauded-induced 'naps' besides MJ coverage. What a shitty week...
 
I was in the city.

it was a pretty awesome experience hearing MJ blasting from every car and open window and seeing some impromptu dancing.

Guy at my office kept making the "ooowww" sound and everyone was looking at him like, wtf man. Well that was one-year ago and that's all I could remember :|
 
Wait, he died? Michael Jackson is dead? How did he die?

Was it in a dispute with his current lover over who got to play with the Tele-Tubby action figures first? :hmm:

In all seriousness, while I was never a fan of his music (sorry, assembled masses, but really well done pop is like a really well formed turd -- it's still a fucking turd, so flush it already!), I also suspect that he really wasn't a sexual predator/pedophile but more of a desperately lonely sad sack who was most at ease, finally, with kids.

I think the real predators were the parents of those kids who were foisted on/allowed to spend overnights with him.

May they rot in hell.

As for Michael, RIP. You are living testament to the fact that all the fame and money in the world can't buy you happiness.
 
Where was I and what was I doing? Shit... I was on fucking ATOT looking at the forum topics saying michael jackson was dead.
 
i remember more about 9/11 happening than most things, just because it was so sensational. i still have no idea how many years ago it was. i have no idea when i heard of or what i was doing when mj died
