Open Post: Michael Jackson's Memorial Service


Webcam chat at Ustream

Michael Jackson's Memorial is expected to begin within a few minutes, so you might as well grab the Fritos, the Kleenex and stop working. If your boss gives you lip, just call 911 and they will immediately be arrested for trying to keep you from watching this important intergalactic event. Livestream above.

Gawd! just I just read a couple of posts and I think I felt a couple of brain cells die. Serious, I feel like i'm reading a letter passing argument between a bunch of 15 year old girls in class with PMS.

Brooke Shields needs to STFU. She hasn't seen MJ since 19 fucking 91! 18 fucking years and she's up there boo hooing and shit like she saw him last week. A baby could have went from birth to adulthood In the time she didn't see her "buddy". WHERE was she when he needed friends?

She's officially on my attention whore list.

You could start doing the same thing.

My statement was in reference to the overpersonalized TMI comments that soiled so many threads lately. I don't give a shit about your issues and the "that's a bad touch Uncle Billy" shit info sharing of your lives. Yet, as an old cronie, I do a litmus test for bullshit, I get HYPER DRAMA reactions while others were cool as hell and have their shit in place.

You can tell that to MJ's fans who most of them claim to have been molested as children but side with the perv. They put their infatuation with MJ before the heart wrenching confessions of two kids. I guess these self proclaimed abused people didn't get the memo that explained how horrible it is for a kid to confess an experience like this and not to be believed, and how some children (specially boys) deny later in life that they have been molested even if the abuse has taken place. Molested, yeah right!

Morb: Well, I certainly fucked up the forum, with a lot of other people for a loooong time. When I first came there, I don't think you were there yet, it was fun.

It's really kinda sad how everything turned out. It's not often people fall in love at a forum.

____________________________________________

No I wasn't there when you first came. But you didn't fuck it up... people left or got run off because of the mouse craziness. As for me? I will be damned if they will run me off. I don't care if I go in there and talk to my damn self.... Ill do it just to be a thorn in their sides. That and I do like the banter when its not crazy,.... for now though, I'm out for the night.
Good night all.

Wait,are you Michael K? You sound like you are coming from a position that YOUR blog is being ruined. I have not even been to Dlisted daily because this Michael Jackson altar bullshit is ruining the interwebs. And I don't mean just Dlisted. EVERYWHERE. So you are the litmus test giver? Again I ask are you Michael K? Because I just don't see why your tests matter.

If my memory is correct, I think the first few Open Posts were introduced like "nobody's using the forum so we're gonna try an Open Post" by MK. Apparently this caught on.

No one ever said someone wasn't allowed to have an opinion. My problem is when people are ridiculed and ostracized for saying ANYTHING good about the man. My problem is when people start making child sex abuse and pedophile jokes. That is just sick, and I don't understand how that can be acceptable to someone. It's like, "Oh, he was a pedophile and that's disgusting. But let me go ahead and talk about little boys penises and a 50 yr old between 12 yr old buns. Wont that be hilarious?" Um, NOT!

@ ISMU.. I agree. I wont be fake by saying I am saddened at all about this... and this stance has made me less than zero to some. So be it. I wont deny the man had talent, but that in NO way excuses the things he did to children. Yes, I believe he was a pedo. One false accusation is unfortunate. After that if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it damned sure ain't a chicken.

ISMU, might I ask why you choose to spend your precious time in an MJ thread if you don't care a thing about him? I find it puzzling. What are you doing here? Is that a pic of your baby? Why don't you spend time with your child, someone you really care about, instead?

I'm honestly just asking cuz I'm curious.

I fucking laughed out loud when I came across a picture of Ray Charles singing into a backwards microphone.

Point is, Michael Jackson's death did not affect me in any way. I was not a fan of his work and thought his behavior in his personal life to be unrelatable and a complete and utter turn off. The accusations against him may not have been enough for a conviction, but as someone who went through being abused as a child, I have no sympathy for anybody who would put a child in a shameful situation. His death was no different to me than pictures of Phoebe Price with her ass hanging out on Robertson or Lindsay Lohan with orange pit stains.

I can respect that someone else had a complete 180 reaction, but I'm not going to change the way I see the world to satiate a few.

If I hated someone as much as some of you, I wouldn't even be in the MJ threads. Because I literally wouldn't give a fuck. I wouldn't waste my time on someone who didn't matter to me. That's the part I don't get, actually it's rather hilarious to me now. LOL That he's affected you so much to the point that you find the energy to endlessly post the most hateful things about him. It's insane. Like wow, MJ really has touched your life, hasn't he? In a way, it's almost like he touched your life in an even more profound way than he touched the lives of people who actually like him. Good luck with those unhealthy, obsessive emotions.

Exactly my point! Thank you, Miss Thang. Spot on.

MK also certainly wouldn't try his hand at weak snark and point me to a www.michaeljackson.com site? LAME.

Paris Michael Katherine's speech made me realize as I sit here in judgment of Michael's misdeeds, he was simply that little girl's father and they loved each other.

angel_i:

did you stop to think that britney and justins not trying to buy or bulldoze their way into the memorial was out of pure respect for michael as a popstar since they themselves are popstars?

and sorry to have to tell you but beyonce sort of has a reputation for showing up (or buying her way into) where she's not invited.

Everyone is going to flame the shit out of me, but I think Paris Jackson's "crying" was a little bit of a performance.

I know she misses her dad and she loved him, but I think she was a little drama at the memorial.

Go ahead, kill me.

I thought Marlon was more the dramatic one.

Voicing an opinion is a two way street. You got yours and I got mine.

If people voicing their opinion against society turning into an altar for Michael Jackson is hurtful to you, maybe it is a good time to walk your asses to www.michaelJackson.com

My impression throughout the service was no one would speak about the 800-pound gorilla in the room. You can love, admire, or enjoy MJ for his music and dancing, yet still fault him for all the pervy, bizarre stuff he did. And you can do that on the day picked for his funeral service. While I liked what Berry Gordy said, he was the only person whom I heard even hint at MJ's scandals.

Sharpton touched on it too a bit when he said "I want his children to know there was nothing strange about your daddy, it was strange what your daddy had to deal with".
It sure got a lot of applause.

Wow, that was easy. I've been here a long time @ dlisted and wanted to see how some of the other "over reactionaries" that have consumed threads with their bullshit would react.

BULLSEYE. Right on target.

Wow, just wow...The "why are you posting on dlisted?" response is so redic.

It's fuckn MK's Dlisted, not yours.

Yup, I ain't a loonie, either and would be the first in line to hand out Love Angelina beatings.

And all this "I apologize" horseshit on dlisted lately is for the birds. Flippin hold hands and sing "coombayah,my Lord" and be all about peace, love and trailmix.

The family has the right to talk only nice things at the service, I can live with that, but all that praise MJ got was waaaay too much! One would think they were talking about Jesus in that memorial.
