Is Michael Jackson dead?

No.

I may have to go for a shower now

Because this girl at my school really likes him and, she'll take it personally if you make fun of him and she claims she has one of his cell phone numbers.

j/k, Aja

aja that's not a very good reason to want someone dead!!!

I don't know her phone number.

If this is true, she will be heart broken.

my kids are distraught

yeah i'm checking other sources, nada. told my kids to chill and i would let them know as i found out more.

(btw, i've only got a class of about 10 mature 8th graders so i'm not freaking out little kids.)

SORRY SORRY. CHILL THE 8TH GRADERS.

(Waits for 8th grader jokes)

another kid said, 'it's probably for the best'

Awesome. This makes me happier than it probably should.

Holy Smokes...that's something I'd even think twice about before posting.

Namibian government officials surprised by Michael Jackson’s no-show
WINDHOEK, Namibia (AP) — Namibian government officials were surprised to learn that Michael Jackson wouldn’t be arriving Friday as they had thought.
An American organization claiming to represent Jackson, St. Louis-based Adventure in Africa Tours, had sent a letter to President Sam Nujoma saying the singer planned to visit Namibia as part of a 12-day African cultural tour.
A meeting was scheduled for Jackson with the president at noon, Nujoma’s personal assistant, Andre Hashiyana, said Friday.
However, Jackson spokeswoman Raymone K. Bain said the travel company had acted without the singer’s permission.
“I guess we will do our due diligence to look into how this happened,” she said by telephone from Washington. “These things do happen quite often. There are a lot of misrepresentations and misinformation.”
Bain noted that Jackson couldn’t leave the United States because he had turned in his passport to Santa Barbara County prosecutors in California as a condition of his release after he pleaded innocent to child molestation charges. A pretrial hearing in the case is scheduled April 30.
“It is so awful how innocent people can be taken in by people who will just run with things without having the proper authorization to do so,” she said.
An official reached at Adventure in Africa Tours maintained a trip had been planned but fell through. She didn’t know why and did not give her name.
News of the supposed visit had made headlines in this southern African country. It would have been Jackson’s third trip to Namibia, where he’s immensely popular and gets a reception usually accorded visiting heads of state.

...the jackson camp have actually officially denied that he is dead because of this story...

god the interweb's an odd place...

anyway, I thought the report was referring to p*pbitch

and it's more london based that ile anyway (even though all these FAPs are trying to tell us otherwise)

RIP Michael Jackson :-(

Heaven needed hops

That headline is actually one of those situations where you really don't need to maintain active voice.

How about, "Michael Jackson, 19XX-2007"? No passive voice, AND ensures that I don't think you're talking about the king of pop instead of the king of hop HA I'M GOOD.

Nooooooooo, fuck!!! This guy was one of my heroes.
RIP

....fuck, I was sitting at the bar at RFD on the afternoon of a Jackson Belgian-tasting evening, and it wasn't sold out, and I didn't go. Argh!

am actually more sad about this than I would be if the King
of Pop died.

Beerhunter was a great programme and he was a great writer and evangelist for good, real beers at a time when it was unfashionable to do so. His Good beer companion is essential. Will now find a bottle of organic stout to celebrate his passing.

I had no idea this guy was so known/prolific, anyone have a link to any of his work?

Sorry, William, I just thought that was an interesting picture that made me think of beer-drinking.

MJ kind of seems that dude on Angel who has that giant transparent bug crawl into him and then he needs to drink and drink or else he dies or something. He dries out and his face is all crackly (?) and shit. Actually he doesn't, but in a way he does.

Er... what? I'm afraid I'm sober, I can't follow what you're saying at all :-/

Did he get to have sex with any of those white girls?

xpost Me Neither. :-(

Sorry, William, I just thought that was an interesting picture that made me think of beer-drinking.

haha, OK! I might have had a couple when I had the idea to take that one.

The reflective surface looks like the side of some giant chalice- a loving cup!

now we have that army general and that preston centre-back to dispose of before we reach the boss

Mike Jackson is one of Australia's favourite live children's entertainers. Most famous for his release of 'Bananas in Pyjamas' and his most requested song 'Dr Knickerbocker', Mike lives to inspire and encourage a love of music in everyone he meets.

This thread has either degenerated to nonsense or in-jokes because i am completely lost.

OTM, RIP

(Beer MJ should have his own thread)

According to Intouch Michael has the rare genetic disease Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

award-winning investigative journalist Ian Halperin tells In Touch that he believes that the King of Pop is fighting for is life. “Michael has a very severe lung condition called Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency,” Halperin, a New York Times best-selling author, tells In Touch exclusively. “He’s had it for years but it’s gotten worse. He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It’s the bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him.”

Because this genetic disease is so rare - Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency affects just 1 in 5,000 Americans - it’s been difficult to treat, says Halperin. “For years, Michael has been working with his own doctors to make sure his condition doesn’t progress. He has been on many medications that have stabilized him.” But as the disease has progressed, Halperin says that the pop star’s quality of life has diminished. “He can barely speak,” says Halperin. “Also, the vision in his left eye is 95 percent gone.”

This rare disease appears to be twice as common as Inflammatory Bowel Disease. I got these percentages from the internet.

Hey guys. I have a totally rare lung condition that makes me bleed out of my ass. I can't really see you right now because of my eye, but I can barely speak, he he.

Report: Jackson battling serious staph infection
British newspaper says singer contracted MRSA-like ailment after surgery

Michael Jackson is being treated for a staph infection that has spread throughout his face and body, according to the Sun newspaper. A report in the British newspaper says the 50-year-old singer is receiving intravenous antibiotics to try and halt the spread.

A source told the Sun that it is a “MRSA-style infection” that is resistant to conventional antibiotics. The Sun reported that Jackson contracted the infection following reconstructive surgery on his nose.

The Times of London reported that the skin on Jackson's face and hands appeared inflamed in photos taken recently of the singer as he left a Los Angeles-area clinic.

In December, biographer Ian Halperin told a British newspaper that Jackson was suffering from Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency and was in need of a lung transplant. Jackson's “official and sole spokesperson, Dr. Tohme Tohme” denied the report, saying in a statement, “The writer’s wild allegations concerning Mr. Jackson’s health are a total fabrication. Mr. Jackson is in fine health.”

The Times was unable to reach Jackson's spokesman for comment.
