Michael Jackson is dead. ;D ;D ;D
So is Farah Fawcett.
-
as is Ed Mc Mahon :(
-
Wow, I didn't hear about that one.
It's not a good day to be a celebrity...
-
nope
-
Did he have a heart attack?
Maybe someone told him that he won the sweepstakes :)
-
who?
-
Sorry, Ed McMahon.
-
Jeff Goldblum too.
3 in one day.
-
my mom was saying how it goes in 3s or something

NO
STOP
Jeff Goldblum is not dead.
This forum exists, in case you've forgotten, on the INTERNET, on which you may find a great deal of information, if you so choose. As long as you're so willing to be led by the nose, give me all of your money.
Three grins ;D after the death of Michael Jackson? Really??
Yes, he's responsible for the choices he made throughout his life, and only a handful of people know if the charges made against him are true. I don't have him up for sainthood, or anything like that...but most of us would do well to be able to use our talents to a fraction of the extent to which he used his.
How many of us would handle domineering parents, and a whole life in the spotlight? How many of us get to look back, and know that, once upon a time, the world was in the palm of our hand?
-
Well, I only know who Michael Jackson is. And I thought he was already dead :-[
-
I'm glad Jeffs not dead. Decent actor funny dude.
Thats a very unfunny hoax.
-
Jeff would have made four. I'm glad he's not dead.
I'm still doing the happy dance about MJ though. Wouldn't it be a laugh riot if it turns out to have something to do with that O2 tent?
-
I heard that Rick Moranis died too.
I'm really upset about Micheal Jackson's death. I had this really great joke about him that I can't tell now. :'(
-

Sure you can, I'll let you :)
-
Well, I only know who Michael Jackson is.
You don't know who Farrah Fawcett is?
Ed McMahon was the guy on the commercials for the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes.
-
I heard that Rick Moranis died too.
Another hoax. He's not dead. That hoax surfaced in 2004. If it were true, he appeared in Brother Bear II (2006), declined to voice his character in the Ghostbusters game in 2008, and will be appearing in Ghostbusters 3 (2011-12?) all from the grave.
-
Who's Michael Jackson?
-
Some guy who was known for a pop song or two, about a quarter century ago ;)
-
All I heard was that MJ would be able to do the 'Thriller 2' video in the next month or so.
-
Who's Michael Jackson?
You don't know Michael Jackson? That's a Thriller! I mean, really, now can you be so Bad?
hahaha
-
If i die there wouldn't be a Public uproar over it...
-
All I've gotta say is good riddance, and, who's gonna replace them? Someone always replaces the fallen ones, and then theres more crap on the off news shows. I hate pop culture, if I get some money I'm moving to the friggin' woods. No cable, I hate TV, absolutely hate it. Use an aircard for internet and I'm good, you cannot escape Verizon here, there everywhere, they used the mountains to there advantage, but I don't think they own half the towers here, I think there rented for mutli-broadcast to multiple companies... Man, who really owns anything anymore but some corporation or the government its self? Did you know that the five major news networks are all government affiliated? MSNBC, Fox, BBC, CNN, and theres another I can't remember... I better shut up before I start ranting again, anyway, one less freak in the world is all I gotta say about MJ. The Texan's would be cheering but his ranch has long been empty.
And I agree with patio, but I like it that way, I don't want to be famous, just want to disappear with the wind one of these days. Be it tomorrow or eighty years and nearly two months from now when I turn 100, I don't care, atleast when I'm dead noone will be bothering me to fix crap.
-
Sad when anyone dies regardless of their social status. Deepest sympathies to all their families.
-

I'm sorry but the BBC 'British broadcasting centre' is not affiliated with my government. In fact if you work at the BBC you cannot also do any work for the government. Even though Sir Alan Sugar seems to be pushing that boundary.
The BBC 'the largest broadcaster in the world' is technically owned by the public under a royal charter.
-
The Texan's would be cheering but his ranch has long been empty.
There's still George Bush...
I wonder how the networks are government affiliated...
-
I wonder how the networks are government affiliated...
They aren't, but they are all biased in one direction or the other.
On a side note, I just heard Michael Jackson's theme song. Enter the Sand Man :rofl:
-
Yes, much is made of media bias, but it isn't always merely a "liberal" bias. That bias is often corporate, depending upon the owners of the media outlet.
-
Well the BBC is unique as it is funded by the British public and can have no affiliations with the government. That's what it stands for.
-
Yes, and many people here in the US turn to the BBC for that unbiased viewpoint.

Hang on a minute. so were paying for your unbiased fewpoint. What a load of tosh. Pay your way United states it costs us £188 per year for our licence. And that's not an option if you have a T.V you pay it. They have detector vans and everything :o
Then again we did get 'Family Guy'
-
Oh, we pay...we just pay differently. We pay cable and satellite companies to bring the signals to us!
Now there are enterprising folks who simply opt for antennas, and are able to get signals that way, but most of us have bought into these other systems.

You can't use those old atennas anymore without a digital converter box. You have to have cable or sattelite to get the BBC. So we are paying for it.
-
Hey, Michael Jackson ain't dead!
He's working at Wendy's with Elvis.
-

That's ok then ;) We brits have to pay a licence just to have a T.V. it pay's for the Beeb or BBC. But as I said 'the largest broadcaster in the world'. As long as you like Doctor Who it's all good.
-
hey, Mulreay, you just accidentally explained to me *censored* the Queen Album "At the beeb" means. Well, sort of.
-

Queen is my favourite band. 'Queen at the Beeb' does mean 'Queen at the BBC'
Chances hay?
-
Fellow is selling 1000 antennaes a month......somebody must be getting a signal.

Ok, now a third has actually died. Billy Mays.
For those who don't know who he is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Mays (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Mays)
-=EDIT=-
I stand corrected. Fourth. :P
-
No, he'd be a fourth -- I was thinking of Ed McMahon, Johnny Carson's affable sidekick of thirty years.
Billy weren't but three years older than me! :o
I wonder if they'll find delayed trauma from the airliner incident?
-
Billy Mays was no Celebrity....
Except maybe of the Mute Club.
-

Something has to account for the infomercials he did...
-
In the words of Elaina, my brother's fiance, "Its a bad week to be famous, I'm glad I'm a nobody."
And, on the note of the news networks, NBC was bought out back in the 70's when someone was doing a multi-part series on the Kennedy assassination. Guess who bought it? The Bush family, and, speaking of Bush, Texas has there idiot back, and they can KEEP him!
Although, I do admit, Billy Mays dieing seems a bit odd. Of all people, why couldn't it be that German guy duping all his stuff?
-

Do you mean the arrogant guy that acts like his microphone was shoved up his....
-
A guy down my street just died and everyone new him... spooky.
-
Yeah, the ShamWow guy... This guy:
http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1910326
Hilarious mock of him, be warned, it does contain some foul language.
-
Absolutely hilarious. ;D ;D ;D
-
"I hired a hooker, she bit my tongue off, I beat the **** out of her."
"A hooker tried to bite your tongue off!?"
that video is hilarious.
-
All I've gotta say is good riddance... one less freak in the world is all I gotta say about MJ.
We can only hope that similar sentiments aren't expressed upon your demise.

"I told him not to wear that plutonium hat- but he insisted it was necessary to keep those thought reader satellites from reading his thoughts."
;D

Poor Billy Mays....He was one of the most notable guys on TV(like Don LaFontaine)
-
Karl Malden died today
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090701/ap_on_en_mo/us_obit_malden
What's going on here? Celebrities are dropping like flies. It all started when David Carradine killed himself.
-
Yeah, David started it all. Didn't even know he was here in Bangkok at the time, was surprised when I saw the news.
You know, it's funny, Death always comes for the celebrities we love. I mean, why doesn't Death ever take the ones we hate. You know, like Rosanne Barr, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Tom Cruise, Courtney Love, O.J. Simpson, or Bobby Brown?
-
OJ is understandable...why waste your energy hating the rest?
-

Good point...
-
Heck, I'm even pretty indifferent to OJ, anymore...not that he's off the hook, but after he vowed to find his wife's killer(s), a comedian put it best: OJ is searching for his wife's killer(s)...on golf courses all over the world.
-
Really though, it's always the ones everyone likes.
David Carradine, Dom DeLuise, Mother Theresa, Lorena Gale, Ron Silver, John Candy, Richard Pryor, and of course Marilyn Chambers!
-
Mother Theresa,
What movies did she do?
-
What movies did she do?
The Sister Act Prequel. I think it was called, "The Nun who Shunned puns done for fun"
-
What movies did she do?
Think she was slated to be in "Sister Act 3: Kickin' the Habit".
-
You guys are seriously brain damaged. I know, because the voices in my head thought that was a laugh riot...
-

And let's not forget Jesus. Loved that guy.
