Double Dose of Doom [Jun. 25th, 2009|08:59 pm]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
We lost three giants of the entertainment industry, this week. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.

They will be missed by their fans.

They will be missed MORE by the people that mocked them, myself included.

I'm sorry, but I refuse to not continue to make jokes. They had some ridiculous things about them that deserved to invoke the humor they did, as do we all, and I will not allow someone's faults to go unchecked simply because that person is no longer breathing.

"Respect" for the dead is one thing, but if there's something funny that can be shared then that laughter can go a long way to ease the pain of their passing. I would expect the same treatment.

Besides... Michael Jackson's nose will be with us for a long time. In a little jar. Plus his memory will linger on in the form of posthumous lawsuits and therapy bills.

So your suggeting their legacy as targets of pundants will go on longer than a Celine Dion song? Man, that's harsh. :)

Ed McMahon in heaven "Here's Farrah Facett and Diana Ross!"

Just so long as Elton John doesn't recycle another song.

Can you imagine how pissed off Farrah is that she got upstaged yet again by another brunette white woman today of all days?

Well, at least MJ will be distracted by Ryan White and MacCaulay Culkin's career again.
