Holy shit!

LA Times currently reporting that he's in a coma.

That's two I've heard for coma and two I've heard for dead.

Which is it?!

I don't know what's going on really o_O. A few news sites say he's dead, others say a coma.

The originating source seems to be TMZ, which is about as reliable as Fox News for accuracy.

When CNN prints it, I'll believe it.

I've heard CNN says he's in a coma.

Sources: Michael Jackson in coma after cardiac arrest - CNN.com

MSNBC and LA Times report he's dead. CNN says coma.

Its a toss up at this point.

NBC news and now the Nightly News with Brian Williams has said he's passed.

Yea, CNN is saying he's been pronounced dead.

Forgive me if I seem skeptical about this. It's Michael Fucking Jackson. O_O

Fuck, what is this, like the fourth major celebrity to die this month (three within this week alone)? Geez...:(

I actually feel more sorry for Farrah Fawcett.

Her death is gonna be completely overshadowed by this.

Not if the guys who had her poster up in the 70s have anything to say about it.

70S BONER OR THE KING OF POP. YOU DECIDE.

The BBC is confirming it now too. At first I was skeptical, but I can believe the BBC, I think.

Hm, I am keeping an eye on CNN, if they confirm it, then that would pretty much take care of most everyone... Pretty crappy though... Farrah Fawcett and then Michael Jackson... crazy day today.

The deaths of two celebrities in the USA doesn't quite qualify as a crazy day compared with the unrest going on in Tehran.

Its all part and parcel.

Dull, I'd be willing to wager you that tomorrow the headline with be the death of michael jackson vs. any action in Tehran.

I care a shitload more about the guy who use to sing on the radio than a bunch of people I'll never meet in another country I'll never go to.

Should we notify you when we're dealing with populations of 50 million or more?

I mean, I'd just like to know the cutoff for your forced nonchalance.

It's just, really, who does that? You're wandering around yelling "I'm wearing blinders, everyone! Look at me!" And then expect anyone to give you the time of day.

Well, CNN just confirmed it... Well.. that is a bit of a shocker.

Ah well, time to move on I guess.

RIP both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson (June 25, 2009)

The cut-off is when you're on a plane to Iran to get your hands dirty with the situation directly. Anyone else is just color commentary.

You're right. That wall in Germany coming down didn't effect anyone outside of the country.
