Tasteless

Journal Entry: Fri Jun 26, 2009, 1:34 AM


ok so I know most of you are already tired of the Mike Jackson death already but man I was just reading the really low class jokes from *** (Not going to draw attention to them) and im seriously offended
Now I know the rules on here
Dont like it Dont read it
But damn sometimes its hard not too
Its like if you dont like the man ok but he JUST died and you making jokes about his death
Come the hell on now
Now the guy is usually a really great guy and a great artist but in this instance I must say I am really disappointed in their actions
And another thing that is pissing me off
Its not a contest of whos more important that died yesterday
Farrah or Mike
They both died and its still said either way
You dont have to have been a fan to both of them but at least be respectful to the fact that they both just lost their lives
I mean I havent seen anything with Farrah Fawcett in it and that includes Charlies Angels but yet and still I respect the fact that people are really upset about her passing away
And as far Micheal Jackson
I grew up listening to him
I listen to him now too
I have most of his work and dance to it still
Now I was not a fan of his life outside of music but you have to stop judging the art from the way the artist acts
I am deeply saddend by his passing
Which is why I dont take kindly to jokes about his passing
And I am not trying to pick fights with anyone
But please believe I am not backing down either

not in this order

I understand where your coming from. I remember when Heath Ledger died last year, no one was concerned with how his family react to it all or what caused him to pass, but rather they all wanted to know was he done with his bits of the Joker for the new Batman movie.

I can't say I was a huge fan of Micheal Jackson like some, but the times I did listen to his music I can't complain. I mean, for one, who can top Thriller? As well as he other funky music had an awesome beat...I understand this is upsetting for you ten fold, I can't relate all too well with his death. However, that said, I'm not entirely devoid of emotion about this and am entirely shocked about the news yesterday.

Again, not to pass over Farrah in any way (I had no idea who she was) but for the media, its showing that Jackson was a more...I don't want to say important but rather imposing figure in the media, especially with the molestation allegations some few years back. I had no idea who Farrah was, but we can all agree to say rest in peace for her.

As this one guy who's making jokes at Jackson's expense, I think I know who you were referring to...I'll note you in a minute to see if my suspucions are correct.

It saddens me how people are making such jokes, however it is their right and some people deal with grief by making jokes.

I agree with you and I'm glad somebody said something. Don't get me wrong, I believe that you can joke about anything, but just because you can doesn't mean that you should. Yes they have the freedom to say it, but after someone passes away it's really heartless to make jokes at their expense and I applaud you for speaking out about this.
:iconjoybug:
Thank you for speaking up. I'm sorry that tempers flared because that's not how we should remember MJ, by that controversy. Michael Jackson's message was about love, peace, and tolerance of each other. Yes he did change the colour of his skin, and yes he did have one high profile accusation which really made some of our younger generation turn on him, but his beautiful talent and gift for song and dance goes beyond his actions outside entertainment. If there is anyone to blame for the way Micheal acted, it's us, the common fan/viewer, because the media latched on to him and fed off his talent like he was some sort of meal ticket, we robbed him of his childhood by exploiting his talent. Is it any wonder that after we stopped MJ from discovering MJ that he never was really happy with himself, and mutilated himself through rigorous surgery? America, world, everyone who grew up with and loved MJ, this is truely a sad day for the world. So lets not make light of it with tasteless jokes, or bitterness at the people who tell them, but simply lament for a great man, for who he truely was, and for what he truely stood for. If there is a heaven, and I personally don't believe so, I hope he's up there smiling back to all his fans.

At least hold off till after his funeral. That is the golden rule of respect for the dead.

Hello my name is white and I have a problem I am addicted to cheesenips

The following message was just one of many from people who suffer cheese addiction. Cheese addiction is a serious problem which if not treated can lead to serious problems.

Exactly
Like when Heath Ledger died I wasnt really effected but I did like a few of his movies
And I knew alot of people where
But there were so many people who were like you said
So worried about the next movie
Or talking about things that had nothing to do with anything
The bottom line is that im not telling you to like the guy
but show some class
If you got jokes save it for a later after people have gotten over it

The world's already such a cookie cutter clusterfuck of clones that the last thing we need is yet another copycat. Integrity is so rare in our universe these days. *Sigh*

:iconbblack2430:
my point exactly
wait
I mean im not asking for you to never ever say anything bad about the guy
But show some class and wait till its easier for people
Like with Elvis
We all have seen some kind of elvis spoof
But that was years ago
At the time of
People were really hurt
Just let it take some time
