Death jokes

Death is never funny . People need to realize that he is a person who had a family that loved him

I see your point, but I am not surprised that there a vast majority of jokes going around. The man should be respected for his musical talent because he was amazing. He kind of put himself in the place to be made fun of, although, I think I agree with you that people shouldn't make fun of him the date of his death He was a human being just like the rest of us, and as weird as he was he hadmore talent then anyone I know. We should remember him for that, not everything else.

no matter who he was before..we still must respect his death and that it should never be joked at. he is still a remarkable person in his own ways..and his music will always remain.

I've heard them today too. Where I don't think that most of them are funny, I do have to say that two other died recently too. The fact that one is getting a media circus over the other two talents really burns me. No one person is more important than another. And the fact that people are making fun of one just kind of says to me that they are sick of all the fuss about just one person.

There are lots of jokes like that on imageboards. They keep mocking Michael Jackson like it's just another controversy. Michael is dead and it looks like it hasn't sink in to them yet. They just won't give him peace even at his death. I saw the local news last night and they're showing Michael's visit in the Philippines. I didn't know that he went to the hospital to pay some newborn kids some visit. He even gave one nurse a one big tight hug. He's genuine and all the good things, that's all i will remember from him.

smurfettewv,

I think you need to remember that it take all kinds of people to move this earth. I can understand that these jokers on one hand may seem to be outright dense or insensitive here. Yet, one must remember that different people have different ways of handling grief. MJ's death certainly isn't expected at all, so when it was revealed I just felt that there are a lot of people trying to come to terms with it.

At another corner, we have people who totally dislike and/or could not care a hoot about him. I am sure you are aware that MJ's life was just not so simple and plain sailing. There are just so much adverse and controversies on him, that I just cannot fancy being in his shoes. So, I do not think there will be any kind or compassionate words from this camp.

I suppose we just to leave it to their own whims and woes and not let what other say or mock affect us at the end of our day here. So, take heart and let them be here.

I have not seen or received any jokes about the King of Pop. I hope I don't get any either. Its in poor taste and disgusting. This has been a sad couple of days and it will probably continue for a time until he is put to rest and the investigation is completed. I'm still in shock. It reminds me of when Elvis died. Take care!

I was also very surprised about the way people were talking all the joking stuff about the life of the musician. All in all, he was just an ordinary human being who was living life his own way. People should concentrate on the achievements he made during his lifetime and not what he did to himself because that was personal, and regardless of all that he did to his face, he still achieved what he was meant to achieve. He was a legend and his music shall live.

i think that if any famous person dies the jokes come flowing in and they circulate like wild fire, i was telling a friend yesterday that it won't be long before the sick jokes surface, i was right, no sooner that michael hd died, the jokes came straight away, it happened when princess Diana died too, i received some pretty sick jokes, it happens and there's not much we can do about it apart from ignore it and delete it from our phones or emails, i do think that people who do this are sick and uncaring, imagine if it was someone in their amily and the jokes came flooding in, they wouldn't like it would they? they don't care a tad about people who die,they think it's clever to send a joke to their friends and have a good laugh about it...how shallow is that?, they think it's funny so that just shows us how small and nasty people can be, it is upsetting and i do get annoyed but i have learned how to ignore them, it just shows that the people who send these jokes really do show their true colours

Are the jokes right, no. Some of them (to some of us) sure are funny though
