Ok..........seriously..
All of the trolls and odd ball "sudden new people" on the thread pushed to the side..
Im going to walk to the other side of the street here and I mean no disrespect, but why are you guys getting upset about something that does not effect you?
MJ has had jokes about him all his life. And everyone has participated in them at some point. Whether it was listening, reading, or maybe even laughing along.
Now , all of a sudden, it is un-PC to make a joke about him? what the.. ??
Making a joke about him is not going to effect him. It does NOTHING to him. It takes NOTHING from him. it creates NOTHING for him, It. does. NOTHING.
The sensitivity around death sometimes astounds me. Death is not an instant respect 'creator" if that makes sense... Making jokes about someone when they are dead is no different then when they are alive except for the fact that people begin to adapt this " dont do that because I would not" attitude...
Isnt that attitude what we hate about extreme groups? Racists? People who judge based on sexuality ?? The entire idea of " that is rude " in a situation like this comes only from the need to control what others do and a judgment based only on your own moral issues. Why do you think you can press that on someone else? Especially when it involves only words. Words, again, that will DO NOTHING. It isnt like these jokes are going to go to court and make his family lose his money. These words are not going to destroy his "career' , ruin his image, or otherwise remove anything from him , so why is it SO important to gang up on someone for .....jokes? Just.. jokes ?
Jokes are words and in this situation, these words have -no power-. They will not effect his life, his death or anything else. So why is it so important to bash someone for making a joke now? You all sure were on the micheal jackson gossip wagon before... ..
seriously. If you dont believe in something, dont partake in it. its that easy.
