Just found out that Michael Jackson died and have been watching the news. Although it’s certainly not funny, the rush of the media has made for some interesting quotes/occurances…

CNN Reporter: “Michael Jackson had a following a lot like the Greatful Dead…” (I don’t think anyone would confuse deadheads with MJ fans)

Turned on E! News, which in its intro states, “when it comes to entertainment news, E! News is always first to break the news.”. Well… No mention of Michael Jackson. (Even CNBC had live coverage… C’mon E!)

The Jackson family attorney appeared on CBS news and said, “I have been concerned about his condition for quite some time. I’ve warned that one day he would wake up dead…” Really? Wake up dead, huh?
