I am 100% behind rustypup on this one. I never liked MJ anyway. whenever i hear "Michael Jackson", pedobear comes to mind.
Whether he's alive or dead has absolutely no impact on my life, so why should i care?

Death spurs Michael Jackson album sales
LOS ANGELES, June 25 (Reuters) - In death, Michael Jackson is enjoying a commercial renaissance that had eluded him for years.

The self-proclaimed "king of pop" who died suddenly on Thursday occupied the top 15 slots on online retailer Amazon.com Inc's (AMZN.O) best-selling albums within hours.

The No. 1 disc, not surprisingly, was the 25th anniversary reissue of his 1982 blockbuster "Thriller," the biggest selling album in history with estimated worldwide sales of almost 50 million copies. Three different configurations of "Thriller" came in at number 12, 13, and 14.

Second place went to 1979's "Off the Wall," which was followed by 1987's "Bad." Both were also massive sellers upon their initial release. His last studio album, 2001's "Invincible," came in at a more modest No. 10.

The other albums on the list were mostly compilations either of his solo work or his hits with the Jackson 5.

Jackson's Sony Music label, a unit of Sony Corp (6758.T) (SNE.N), said he sold an estimated 750 million records worldwide, and released 13 No. 1 singles.

"His artistry and magnetism changed the music landscape forever," Sony Corp Chairman, CEO and President Sir Howard Stringer said in a statement. "We have been profoundly affected by his originality, creativity and amazing body of work."
Wait, so if I understand that correctly, he's not in the top 15, he's the top 15? :?

whoohooo .... hear this... he is behind Rusty like rusty is some lobbyist or something.
Why should anyone care if you and whoever else don't care?
So people are not allowed to post and pay respects to some weirdo just because YOU don't care?
You have an opinion. Great for you.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

I think you guys are forgetting the real victim here....
The poor 8 year old boy who went to bed next to the "King öf Pop" and woke up next to a cadaver.
My prayers are with you, young man.

Also, if there is a hell MJ is there right now.
