All-too-predictable poor, dead M. Jackson post

All-too-predictable poor, dead M. Jackson post

"Funny," I say to Scaryduckling, "I was just about the same age as you when John Lennon died."

In fact, we had both heard about these celebrity deaths in much the same way: "Get up! You're late for school! By the way [insert name of music star]'s dead."

With nothing better to do, we sat down and worked it out through the wall-to-wall poor, dead Michael Jackson tributes filling our TV screens. Even on the local news, for he'd once been to Exeter.

So, it transpired - not just 'about the same age', but EXACTLY the same age. To the day.

WoooOOOOoooOOOOooooo.

You didn't see THAT coming, did you Uri Geller?

Rik said...

I don't know what's more worrying. The fact that this is the case, or the fact you worked it out.

Pseudonymph said...

So, to prevent future 'stars' dying, the duck line is to stop at Scaryduckling?

Mr Si said...

Wasn't Michael Jackson a director of Exeter City football club?

Debster said...

Or did you administer the fatal dose?

Aunty Brenda said...

It was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. I know this to be 100% fact. Because where's the news on Iran, now? Good idea taking the heat off the politically motivated violence going on over there. It's all Jackson, Jackson, Jackson.

Aunty Brenda: Apparently dead child molester trumps dead freedom protestors...

Kevin said...

Mr Duck, I point you to http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8120489.stm - my best friend from school is the 2nd interview (Sean Fox) and I was at the gig in Exeter!

Pigfarmer said...

Bad taste Jackson/football gag.

What is the difference between M. jackson & Sir Alex Ferguson?


Fergie will still be playing Giggs in August.

Misty said...

Pseudonymph: Seeing as Scary is now a jaffa, many future stars lives are now safe!

And I was going to say what Rik said, ho-hum...

And if anyone wants to read my bad taste Jacko joke, they can read it here as I can't be arsed to write it out again.

Oh, and there's a cartoon too.

Lets us all take a moment to remember the young people he touched...

Apparently he had an allergic reaction after eating 12 year old nuts.

So now you're thinking your bloodline is a threat to American celebrities? Better be careful - Dan Brown may write (poorly)a book about you. Go hide in a church.

Joy said...

Who knew the males of the Duck family had such power? Coincidence? Why yes, I think so!

Mr Si: ooh fancy meeting you here! MJ wasn't a director but Uri Gellar was, he turned up with David Blaine in tow as well. The front page of the Express and Echo is highly LOL-some today "The Day Micheal Jackson Came to Exeter" plus quite a bit of over excited bibble underneath. He should have been there today, we had the ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. Cue an overload of god, god and more god

Kevin 'In Salford' said...

'Tis strange how The Press can be so hypocritical. Today he's God's gift to music, yet yesterday he was a sick degenerative lover of children.

My own opinion of him is: The music is superb, but as a person - lowlife perverted filth!

RIP Jacko! At least God did the good deed that the courts couldn't!

mobilextra said...

as we are reading this alot of people has starting the quest to seek for mj secret burial.
Sounds like he isnt dead yet?

Pseudonymph said...

Apparently they're burying bits of him under the Louvre, distributed around Florence, and in the Vatican. Dan Brown is writing as we speak 'Da Moonwalk Code' in which the deluded moonwalk around great European historical monuments in the quest to find MJ's 'real' nose.

Q: What's the difference between a plastic shopping bag and Michael Jackson?

A: One is made of plastic and dangerous for children and the other is used to carry groceries.

I don't make 'em up, people, I just repeat 'em.

Aunty Brenda said...

Apparently MJ was a bit devastated when he discovered Boyz II Men wasn't a delivery service.

Squeakypony said...

I read the news today, oh boy ... is it only me ... but my (News Corporation) newspaper today had the first 9 pages devoted to Mr Jackson and a separate 12 page centre liftout.

Pseudonymph said...

I hear you, Squeaky - same on this side - not content with yesterday's memorial tribute with timeline, transcript of 911 call, bonus poster cover with extra full-size poster inside!, the Sunday paper has delved into biography, drugography, testimonials from everyone from the local woman who saw it unfold, to the nanny (I had to pump his stomach many times), and a timeline, neatly including Saturday, which obviously the Saturday paper missed. Yay for one-upmanship!
Took me ages to find my coupon to win $20,000.

krzysica said...

Apparently MJ did whisper a brief message to the paramedics as he was taken into the hospital. He said 'Put me in the childrens ward.'

Debster said...

I went to Reading today ...

#Debi said...

I hear that, instead of burying MJ, they are going to melt down all his plastic bits for Legos so that children can play with him for a change...

Sewmouse said...

You missed the bit where Farrah Fawcett died as well - a tiny bit earlier than MJ.

See, what happened was - Farrah died and went up to the Pearly Gates - and St. Peter, knowing what a wonderful person she had been, told her she would be granted one wish.

Farrah said "I wish to save the children"

So St. Peter stuck out his finger and zapped Wacko Jacko.
