Since when did Michael Jackson Become our National Anthem?

[lib2DaBone]

I think our Country is off track .... I'm not bashing Michael.. but we have to get a grip...?

Preferably not on the crotch...

1. Hey, I'd rather MJ than what we worshipped the last eight years.

Dude sang about peace, love, harmony, charity, environmentalism... Let's run with it.

2. So true... GWB Jr was a monster...

[lib2DaBone]

4. Ya.. I agree. Can't be all that bad... Compared to GWB Jr...

7. And anti-Semitism, don't forget -

"Jew me, sue me...
Kick me, kike me......."

"They Don't Care About Us," on the album "HIStory."

3. Actually, it'd actually be pretty cool if "Thriller" was our National Anthem.

Who wouldn't want to stand and sing that before the ball game starts?

5. Sort of a long anthem, though. nt

15. No thanks.

That song makes no sense at all as a national anthem.

6. michael jackson

i just cannot see the attraction of mj, i think he is weird and a pervert... the more is said the more weird he sounds... there must be something wrong in our national psyche ... how sad !!!

9. Consider -

our troops withdrew from the metropolitan areas in Iraq today, and the newspapers are screaming about Jackson's kids.

Al Franken won, and the headlines are about Jackson's will.

Our priorities are sadly skewed, idolizing a past-his-prime pop star who lived a life of shoddy, irresponsible, reprehensible behavior, and managed to fool a lot of people along the way.......................

14. I am sick to death of the MJ hoopla. He was an entertainment figure of questionable

character at best. He doesn't merit much press in my book.

10. it's the corporate media - they holler about whatever they think will sell

[donheld]

8. He's dead, leave him alone

Why should I expect people to leave him alone now.


p.s. I kinda like gripping nice crotch now and again.

11. I'm honest there something interesting about the guy

It's like watching Citizen Kane in real life unfold before your eyes. There's something fascinatingly odd about the guy and I find myself interested. There's a reason traffic slows down around a car crash. People can't help themselves to rubber neck. We are all mortal and death and particularly an odd death capping off a rather odd life just is fascinating. We claim we don't really want to know... but really we WANT to know.

12. Everyone slows down at the train wreck or gory car crash... nt
