BREAKING NEWS!
The King of Pop – Michael Jackson is dead at 50. As of 7am today, no one could confirm the cause of his death but sketchy reports reaching the Professional Heckler say he died of glutathione overdose.
The “glutha overdose” theory was fueled by Michael Jackson’s alleged last words: “I’m glad I’ve met… the Lord.”
A devastated Janet Jackson told the press: “She’s out of my life.”
Michael Jackson is dead. As of 7 am today, nobody could confirm the real cause of his passing but another sketchy report reaching the Professional Heckler says he died of prolonged embarrassment.
As of 7am today, the real cause of Michael Jackson’s death is still unknown. But that wouldn’t last long as the Philippine Senate and the House of Representatives embark on a joint probe of his death.
This just in! God has released a one-line statement confirming that Michael Jackson has already reached heaven. It says: “The girl is mine.”
Separated At Birth?
Sen. Migz Zubiri’s mom, socialite Vicky Zubiri and Michael Jackson

I was expecting poor Farrah Faucett dead any moment since yeaterday. Michael’s death bannered in mobile tv on my way to the office came as a shock.
Kinda melancholic now as I listen and peek once in a while at his youtube videos – his music I grew up with. I’m reminded of the times back then when all I was eager for was: When will MJ’s next MTV come out? His was revolutionary. Hanggang ngayon, nagagandahan pa rin ako sa Thriller, Remember The Time and my fave of all Black and White.
MJ will always be the artist whose fast songs and dance moves I can only imitate in my illusions. Stardom has stunted his maturity I guess based on news we have read about his quirkiness. Well, he got his wish – dying at 50, as he never really did grew up.

Your column was not funny today. It is such a contrast to the respectful coverage of the US media.

@meg: i disagree. the humor of this blog does not in anyway undermine the significance of the death of the Great MJ. keep the contrast going, Heckler man. we love the MJ, but we are not without humor to understand what we are about to read when we visit this site.

Why not? Where does it say that the dead need to be revered, simply because they are dead? Why not treat them the same way as when they were alive? Seriously, what is this cultural phenomenon? MJ was a star but he was a sinner, too; he was a musical genius but a strange character, as well. I will always love his music but, with all due respect, pagtatawanan ko pa rin sya. Gusto ko eh.

as a child I always liked seeing the intro of “Charlie’s angels” because of Farrah Fawcett’s hair.

Funny,
Kung kelan patay ang tao doon naaalala ng iba ang greatness niya.
Pero nung buhay siya wala lang. Masnauuna yung mga issues like molestation, etc.
I wish nabasa niya ang mga comment ng mga tao ngayon tungkol sa kanya nung buhay pa siya. Maybe it made his life a bit better and more inspired & motivated to do Music and Perform passionately.
Rest in Peace Legend..
