The Day in 100 Seconds: The Only Thing Worse...

[academiccuriosity]

CNN BREAKING NEWS: Michael Jackson was alive just moments before he was dead.

[ironchopsticks]

i wouldnt mind being molested by MJ if i could get $20 million.

[jakehr3]

great clips ... the epitome of news coverage, "Hey, some important shit just happened with the economy and foreign policy, but did you hear that Michael Jackson died? I mean we still need to analyze his death and what it means for our culture because who is better at analyzing our culture than the 24-hour news networks. I'm looking at you twitter, facebook, myspace, youtube, random touch screens, and google earth."

[CrankYourself]

I just held a meeting with...Michael Jackson

[FoShizzle951]

Palin is a stupid whore.

[azaquihel]

so a stupid soldier capture .. and then michael jackson die ??who is more importan ?? the right wing will attack your sense of humanity ...because a childhood hero just die and you are in grief

[Imaducklol]

michael jackson is a overrated nigger tbh

[youcutmelegoff]

[mike50333]

That's faux for ya'...

[SailingCedar]

This just in. Michael Jackson is still dead.

[CAGamble]

lol sailingcedar

[Jeijo1]

oh god, the last rehearsal look amazing, a big comeback that we never saw, but maybe he will be resurrected, just like that one guy, I forget his name....Oh yeah, JESUS!

[squidb8]

I agree we don't need to waste anymore time picking through MJ's life anymore. There is an actual story cover and report and drive into the dirt. Until eventually no one no longer is concerned about the life of a soldier captured by the Taliban.

[MA453]

The illuminati kidnapned MJ, they need him for the NWO

[laurieannek]

All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us.

[sharinganclan213]

the CIA killed MJ.

[robinvan1983]

no it is the same aliens who took elvis... he stil lives!

[mike50333]

...I'm banking on people who could profit from his death - namely the people who put him up for insurance of drug overdose.

[Uwiluz60]

Obama would not Stage a town hall meeting would he ? I think there will be a lot of new government jobs to go around..To see over Cap and Trade or maybe the new V.A.T. tax and lets not forget health care...And the biggest hidden tax of all INFLATION ! Keep printing that money and backing it with junk bonds...No one gets it...The government has no wealth...They produce nothing..They can only redistribute the citizens threw the above..And waste plenty on the way..There's no free lunch !

[robinvan1983]

you can blame the government but it is also the American peoples own fault.... spending money on houses that they don't have....

besides... the situation you are in is not that bad... omg you can't buy your 3rd iphone 3gs!

your economic solution will save us all....

[Uwiluz60]

robinvan1983...You are right on over spending on inflated housing ...so many used the SMART CHOICE loans...you just pay the interest so you can buy a bigger house you can't afford..But the situation that I am in is, not wanting to buy iphones...I buy Gold and guns, Gold to hedge against inflation..And guns...Well when the dollar fails and more cities go bankrupt and States, the first things to go are services like police..So protection and investment..Guns up 56% since November 4 2008 !

[ver506]

Let's take advice from Karl Rove, because that has worked out very well in the past....NOT!!!!

[OlivierdeAthos]

That's the main reason why I LOVE seeing him as Fox News' chief political consultant.

[digy1st]

Obama: "I just held a meeting with... Michael Jackson. "

That cracks me up.

[cagedtigersteve]

Those people who comment about those people who talk about talking about Michael Jackson are the worse.

[xophersmith]

But you're not considering the people who bring up the practice of commenting about those people who talk about talking about Michael Jackson. Come on!

[SamariaTV]

All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us.

[harryheckjr]

If Americans needed any proof that our news media is a joke, here you have it.

[TheRamenAvenger]

Mmmmmm watching a 50 year old lipsync to recordings from 25 years ago ... no thanks

[sachaput]

I want to complain about videos about videos that talk about people talking about Michael Jackson and those that talk about him.

Oh, please.....

[bellakazza]

What happened to we have nothing to fear but fear itself. what happened huh Obama now wants to strike fear into our hearts.We are Americans we fear nothing.God bless America God save America.

[PharaohNineD]

Huh?

[bellakazza]

Huh? whats there to huh about.

[WKaliberr]

Michael Jackson is more interesting than some mercenary assassin aka soldier kidnapped in a shithole country

[glaked23]

Wow first off those are men that fight for our country, yes a few of them have acted inappropriately but that's no reason t o attack the whole army. Second off yeah he's interesting but he's been dead for like a week now it's time to stop taking half a whole news show to talk about him and talk about something else.

[micahgee]

if they fight for our country, why are they thousands of miles away?

[glaked23]

Because it's our military and there sent to fight.

[glaked23]

lol at the question "has the media been spending to much time covering the Micheal Jackson story, lol ya think? I haven't been able to watch any type of news channel without hearing Micheal Jackson's name atleast 20 times. I mean respect to him but there are other things going on.

[belgurdo]

Jackson hoopla gives us something to think about for a few weeks other than Bush's failed war and brown people finding new ways to kill each other

[NickWoha]

We get it.. lol

[BayAreaLen]

Just turn off the news everyone. It's no more real than a TV sitcom. It's programmed and filtered to generate a reaction needed to satisfy an agenda that you and I have absolutely not a shred of say in. A year down the road, your life won't be any different is you don't watch any more news, as opposed to if you do. Some may think I'm crazy for this comment, and they my friends, would be the actual crazy ones. View on entertainment seekers.

[Skurgefaust]

i dont watch television, and havnt for almost 6 years. Iv saved myslef from SOOOO much bullshit and it makes me happy to know that. BUT (<--big but) i do have social media now and youtube, which IS (<--big is) better than TV.

[BayAreaLen]

AGREED (<--big agreed!) It's way better. Communication between real people coupled with outlets to get all perspectives of real news.

[Richardgwm]

What do Michael Jackson and the Republican party have in common?

[nuprincenj]

there both crazy

[Richardgwm]

They are both dead.

[mike50333]

Yeah, that's the only thing they have in common. Other than that, Michael PWNS Republicans.

[freedomanddemocracy]

Richardgwm ... answer:

They are both extinct

[Aaberg123]

DEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAD!

[SubmarinerAndroid]

And the backlash arrives right on schedule

[bonzaibb12]

our media makes me so sick I only watch tid bits on youtube so I know what BS there slingin at people

[ktextreme]

the cia poisoned MJ, he was about to mount a huge comeback tour and speak out about a lot of social issues, including the war in iraq, and forced vaccination.  They capped him before he made to much more noise.

[Product1999]

same thing with hendrix......guys with big megaphones and opinions supporting freedom get wiped out.

[robinvan1983]

righttt.... and elvis died because the CIA thought he was a danger for the government

[delicflower]

can we just let micheal die already??

[sharinganclan213]

karl rove should STFU

[OlivierdeAthos]

Or at least do his talking via remote hookup from the inside of a prison cell.
