Logged in to update a website I maintain and within a minute, I had 2 jokes

How the hell does it happen so quickly, that withing minutes of somebody popping off, or some disaster happens, the jokes are there

[spoon_of_grimbo]

all the ones i heard were fucking obvious. and it's sad, because the guy's been through a whole parade of shit the last few years, and he deserved a huge comeback. i got "history" on double cassette back when i was about 10 and listened the fuck right out of it. the guy was a genius.

case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJvfnQ_E7uw

^ one of my favourite songs/videos ever.

Its just peoples way of coping with things, I wouldnt say its a bad thing, fair enough if its a kid thats been found dead then okay no-one would even touch that subject with a barge pole (unless you go on sickipedia which Im guilty of) but if its someone in the public eye then it's expected. I'm not saying its right or wrong I'm just saying that its going to happen.
Best one I ever heard was years ago when the lockerby disaster happened which was

What does Boeing stand for?

Bits Of Engine In Numerous Garden.

I will say one thing though, Jackson dies and sickipedia crashes, coincidence?

I think not

Frankie Boyle had to resign from his newspaper column in the Daily Record today as they refused to print the following article


Oh dear. Had to quit my Daily Record column over a moral disagreement. We disagreed over whether it was ok to make jokes about a dead child molestor. Here is the whole column, big love Frankie x

So the Michael Jackson roller coaster has stopped. Looks like he got enough.

Apparently he died after walking into a pub in Paisley and saying “Do you wanna be starting something?” We can all learn something from Michael’s life. For example, it looks like oxygen tents are a big waste of money.

Why did no one pick up on it when he had shown all the signs of a heart attack? Wheezing noises, jerking of the arms, ashen complexion? I suppose to be fair he has been showing all those symptoms since the mid eighties. Had Jackson’s staff noticed something was wrong earlier he might have been saved, but when they saw him grab his left arm, go stiff and yelp they just thought he was practising his moves for Beat It. It’s not known what triggered the heart attack, but High School Musical 3 was on cable at the time. In many ways he was a tragic figure. Let’s be honest, he had more personal issues than Batman.Who could have imagined that the monster he transformed into in “Thriller” would look less weird than what he transformed into in real life? It’s got to be a tossup whether he get cremated or recycled. His postmortem will look like the Roswell autopsy.

I was a big Michael Jackson fan when I was 8. I didn't know it at the time, but I was his 'type.'

For his London concerts Michael Jackson advertised for children in wheelchairs or with missing legs! What parent would agree to that? Look what happened with kids who could run away! Those tickets sold out in minutes. An interesting attitude we have to paedophilia in this country, “ We don’t want paedophiles round here! Unless they’ve really worked on their choreography...”

He was a legend and his funeral will be amazing. Ironically the funeral will be the first time in years his children haven’t been forced to wear veils.With the amount of money the concert tickets have made I wouldn’t be surprised if they still wheeled him on. It would add an interesting touch to I’ll Be There. Michael Jackson was apparently refusing to eat ahead of his O2 gigs. He now weighed less than nine stone and the only thing he would eat willingly was nachos. Nachos being the name of a young Mexican boy. It’s said that Jackson had developed a phobia about being fat. Not like him to worry about his looks. Apparently when the news broke Jackson’s father rushed straight to the hospital, just to check if the medics needed a hand with beating Michael’s chest.

Jackson’s family said they were moved to see that the hospital staff were all wearing black. Actually, they were all wearing white as usual, but that family had always had a little trouble admitting the difference. The man may be gone but he has left a musical legacy that will be around for hundreds of years. As will his face.

Lets get this right. the world is not mourning michael jackson, some shallow fuckwits with nothing better in their lives. Them and the tossers in the media who now have 3-4 easy days of copy. The people in iran, tibet & somalia have a lot more to worry about. The MP's scandal is now buried on page 14, BBC execs expenses is no longer a story. There are more people in the world that haven't heard of him than have.

Long live the King (and not the crappy band King from the 80's that wore Doctor Martins), though personally I prefer Queen. Prince was alright, but Princess was shite. There is only one god and Clapton is god.

Long live rock n roll as RJD once said.

Boyle speaks the truth, he only says what other people want to say but havent got the guts.

There's been some real slagging offs of people in this country about not showing emotion over him dying, myself included. Now I admit he had a hard childhood with being in the spotlight since a very early age and having so much expected from him but the guy has had no personal impact on my life whatsoever so why should I let it bother me? As far as I'm concered him kharking it will have about as much effect on me as the death of some poor cattle farmer in south east asia. I appreciate some people are sad about him dying but dont expect me to be sad just because you are.

Let the flaming commence.

As a side note the only people who are going to be genuinley upset are those poor unfortunate twat badgers who forked out 800 quid for tickets on ebay.

[spoon_of_grimbo]

i've got to admit i was more sad than i thought i'd be when i found out. and i never bought tickets (although i wouldn't have turned down free/cheap ones...).

the guy had a fucked up life though - who knows what really went on behind closed doors?

I got that at work yesaterday from one of the lasses for mentioning that I'd had loads of jokes and that I wish the radio would just report it, then play the normal records. Every 4th song on Magic yesterday was a Jackson song, she took exception to me complaining about their overkill.
Got told I was insensitive and it's really sad that he's died, the reply I gave was, 'he wouldn't give a flying fuck about me if I'd died, so why should I about him dying, anyway, it's not like he's going to be disappointed at me not being sad about it, cos there's fuck all he can do about it now'

Wouldn't worry about it she pobably thinks 'Katie and Peter' is a great TV show about 2 genuine peope who've fallen in love through the media rather than an unwatchable pile of crap about 2 vacuous dickheads who should both have fucked off from any national attention before they had any in the first place.

Homogenised bullshit, but kinda what I expect from an office full of women (talking about mine now really). I'm just thankful nobody tried to start a converstion about him with me.

I'll just leave these here




Apparently he had a stroke in the childrens ward.

Boyle might want to remember that Michael Jackson was never found guilty of child abuse.
