Sweets is right- media nowadays is driven solely on celebrity scandal and salaciousness. Instead of focusing their attention on news that might actually mean something, they'll focus on crap like some pseudo-celeb kicking the bucket just for the quick advertising moolah.

the focus on the bad stuff as well and the politicians and their indescretions...

not talking about the media

know what i do if i dont want to hear the media?

i dont turn on the tv or dont read yahoo.com

but look around the threads.....

it is everywhere

my question is why do WE buy into it?


ill go make a thread called..."whats your favorite book?" guess how far itll get...4 posts and next thing ya know...people will talk about the news lol

Yup. And it's all meant to divert your attention from the REAL news, including the government's scheming to enact back-door legislation meant to lessen or outright eliminate YOUR freedoms and the like.

First I think...you looked at my name and still spelled it wrong lol.

Next I think...

Who cares!!!!

Ok...I guess it sucks that he was about to go on tour and they had to refund almost 90million in tickets so his kids are now going to be stuck with that debt...and they are going to have a custody battle to see who gets them but hey that's life. Yes MJ was talented but he was also completely nuts....he had issues everyone knows it. The main reason I think people care so much is because we have become a society that WORSHIPS celebrities...people live thier lives through them without living their own....MANY MANY parents out there know what there favorite stars Ice Cream flavor is better then they know what their own children are going through. So I guess for those people when one of their 'idols' dies it is like losing a friend....a fantasy friend...but that is what they tend to believe

b/c it gives us something in common...

Again, it's because he's a celebrity. Plain and simple.

eh isaac i thought you spelled it wrong, my bad



but i agree with you...and another thing too i bet is that people are sooooooooooo afraid of dying today. they're like.."oh no, someone else who used to be alive is dead. that person was around when i was 25 and i'm 40 now" so they tweek out

i get ya..good answer...that makes sense....i just wish people would allow themselves to "live" more than just "die"....

know what i mean?

yes

Actually Justin Timberlake is talking about taking over the concerts and making it a tribute to MJ.. Also, the kids will get the royalties for years to come.. I'm sure they'll be fine.. The worrisome thing is that no one knows who the mom is of the 3rd one and they could possibly be split up.. Unless of course the mom of the other two still doesn't want them, then they can go witht the family...

Just thinking....what you should have done is go grab a newspaper...look in the obituary column and seen the first person that died in your area went back and said "Did you know....(insertnamehere) died this morning?" when she answered who cares or who is that...explain that it was someone in your neighborhood...someone that could have even said a kind word to her in the supermarket...and that she was insensitive for not caring....just a thought

ya know what is even worse?

i had no idea about any of this until he died

dude were talking about women...you think she'd have understood what i was trying to get across?

i think letting her read this later will work better LOL

KIDDING

i love you ladies

well Justin's has a high enough pitched voice to pull it off

He just might.. I really don't care one way or another but I do hope it will help the kids to not lose everything...

Will Smith's old school song should have been titled "women just don't understand"

hey guys

i gotta go buy some cigarettes

if i die on the way there or back

please talk about me and make some threads




i will be back later
