 | I think the coverage over here in the UK is a joke - it's 24/7 except when Wimbledon gets a look-in (and that is a joke too). Since he died, the guy has the number 1 album over here and 4 singles in the top 40 - at least he hasnt got #1 single here yet (it's La Roux - "Bulletproof" for anyone interested). With all the things that are going on in the world - Darfur, Iran, the UK govt screwing everything up etc - you would think that the "news" channels would find a more constructive use for their airtime

 Apart from that, we've had our fair share of Jacksonomania here in Denmark as well, and just a few days ago I caught a young colleague watching tons of Jackson-videos on youTube. I just scratched my head and left the computer room, wondering why the guy was so popular. His music has never really meant anything to me, except that it was just more noise in the endless stream of radio background noise. What I don't get is that some of our young soldiers got killed the other day in Afghanistan, and it barely gets mentioned in the news - and then it's on to the next piece of <sarcasm ON>incredibly important</sarcasm OFF>garbage in the /¤/&¤%&%¤ Jackson-saga. Bury the geezer and move on to more important things fer chrissakes! *growls* I also read that fans all over the world were committing suicide because Wacko Jacko had died...goodness...I can understand that you might want to give up and call it quits if...*huge intake of air*...you lose your job, the wife wants a divorce because she's been messing with your best buddy, you have to move because the house has burned, your teenage daughter gets raped and winds up preggers and with HIV, your son gets killed by a madman who then wipes his hands in your parrot that he strangled - and then the psycho proceeds with offing your parents in the most nasty ways while you're forced to watch, before he finishes off by eating your dog...but because your idol dies??? *shakes head*...that's way beyond my comprehension!  Btw, I'm fed up with all that Jacko-stuff too, just in case you haven't noticed...

| I wasn't alive when he was in his prime but I heard songs growing up. It's sad to me seeing him on youtube when he was a child and teen with all the talent and potential in the world and ending up the way he did. I also believe the coverage is blown, but CNN loves this kind of garbage and he was a world icon at one time. No better then Favre moving to the Jets!

| Maybe people are losing it from all the 24 hour non-stop coverage that is still happening. Pop culture is *&#@ing retarded! |
