Move over Iran and Farrah Fawcett... Michael Jackson is Dead!

Okay, I know I'm going to instigate some emotion here but . . . I really don't care that about Michael Jackson's death. First of all, he was one fucked up dude who looked like he's been borrowing time for years. He spent the last portion of his life in very questionable company, and whether or not he assaulted little boys, his relationships with them were inappropriate.

Farrah Fawacett died this morning after a long and courageous battle with cancer. It didn't take much to be a "better person" than Michael Jackson, but Farrah was the real deal and it is sad that her story will take a back seat to one of the weirdest people who ever lived.

In retrospect, I think that national news stations should really be focusing on the revolutionary uprisings in Iran. When you really think about it, what is happening in the Middle East right now can only affect a few hundred million people. Some people can argue the importance of North Korea's threat, but I honestly think that Kim Jong-Il needs to realize that the rest of the world considers him valuable for only entertainment purposes. I must admit that the first two thoughts that come to mind on Kimg Jong-Il are "small penis" and "major insecurity issues."

So when you're watching the posthumous glorification of Michael Jackson on CNN tonight, consider what is really going to effect you in the future. I'm not going to be wasting any of my time convincing myself that this man was any sort of role model. Yes, he was an amazing child star and his influence on pop music will forever be remembered; but in this historic time we must do our due diligence on what really matters.
