Michael Jackson dead at 50

[Nick Harvey]

Just keep well away if he's cremated. That much plastic will go up like a duck island on a bonfire.

[Gavin Scott]

So. 50 concerts for 65,000 people a piece at £50/ticket with no refunds. And then he "dies".

Aye. They'd better come up with a body because those insurers don't miss a trick.

[Alexia]

Just come through that LA times say he is now dead. Jesus, can't they just wait until they get something concrete?

Like his tomb?

[iSon]

Such bad taste.

I'm disappointed in you all.

[Pete]

probably when he started melting

I flicked around to This Week and Portillo was actually mentioning the Lord Michael Jackson in a flash of freakish coincidence.

Oh and nick, I see what you did early in this thread. I tip my hat to ye sir.

Bad pun 1: Well, he's beat it.

Bad pun 2: He's dead. He's dead. He's really, really dead.

Strewth, I even received a Digital Spy breaking news e-mail, perhaps this place should have a Breaking News Alert e-mail facility.

The Fark headline for this is perfection itself: "Michael Jackson starts plans for Thriller 2"

Ison: Did you have a ticket?

[Jovis]

Nice round age to die I suppose - for me who has a thing about 'neat' numbers, I envy him.
