What do we do with the MJ article, and how do we write it to keep with the article tone including his death? Saberwolf116 22:42, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

By the way, this is a serious discussion, so please don't hijack it and drive it off topic. Saberwolf116 22:43, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I say we give him a week or two of silence. -

kingkitty ~Fuck you~

Still, it seems a bit weird to refer to him in the present tense. Saberwolf116 22:50, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Um. Change everything to the past tense, and add a date of death? Why the fuck would we make it a thing? The article itself is in good enough shape already. IronLung 22:51, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Because we don't refer to celebrities that are dead as alive, usually, because people will think "why doesn't it say anything about his death"? Saberwolf116 22:52, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I hear he and Heath Ledger aren't really dead and are actually hiding in Mexico taking cheap painkillers and thinking about chidren. -OptyC Sucks! CUN22:53, 25 Jun

There, I can do that. Saberwolf116 22:54, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Well... someone get in there and change the present tense to the past tense. And while you're at it, change 3:53 to 5:00 so I can go home. pillow talk 22:54, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

This month hasn't been very kind to celebrities... -

kingkitty ~Fuck you~

Are you accusing the month of June of killing Micheal Jackson? IS THAT YOUR ACCUSATION!!!!mAttlobster. (hello) 23:03, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I HAVE MY CERTAINTY! Meh now I can't listen to the song ABC anymore... -

kingkitty ~Fuck you~

The apparently oh-so-'Innocent' June, hanging around drunk at parties, boring all in sundry with its tired 'I've got the longest day of the year' anecdote. Hopefully people now realise just what sort of nasty 31 day monster we're dealing with here. mAttlobster. (hello) 23:12, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Nah it is the usual celebrity death trifecta, they often die off in threes. First Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett, and now Michael Jackson. Hey remember the 1980's when all three were popular and rich and in the prime of their lives? Now we have to edit three articles on celebrities to announce that they died. This isn't Wikipedia where an edit war breaks out over the celebrity living and dead status being changed and then deleted and then changed and then deleted again, (Citation Needed) over and over again, somehow CNN isn't considered a reliable source by some Wikipedia admins and editors. CNN has become a Fox News Junior, I guess? --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 23:12, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

"Air" Jackson? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 03:27, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

So, nobody will care about Farrah Fawcett now, I guess? Shame, what with her awesome poster, and all...--<<>> 23:41, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I care about Farrah Fawcett! —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 22:03, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey

Would anyone mind if I made Category:Michael Jackson is dead, like I did when Heath died? I think there are enough UnNews's about it to justify making it. If not, I don't care. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 22:01, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

How many of them are incomplete UnNews articles though? --Sunbeam no u Have you been doing your ironing? 22:07, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm seeing one unfinished, but that is also a copy of a finished one... MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 22:18, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

But apart from UnNews:World Prepares for Mass Synchronized Dancing Zombie Takeover which ones are worth it? --Sunbeam no u Have you been doing your ironing? 22:21, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Okay. How about this.

Alleged death

He can't be dead! Those are just nasty rumours by some asinine jerks! You don't need to believe any of it! Michael Jackson is alive! I know he his! I'm going to his concert, no matter what you're trying to make me believe! You filthy liars!

And add that as a new section somewhere near the end. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 22:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Michael Jackson is DEAD?!?!?

OK, seriously, why did nobody tell me about this? It could have at least been on the news or something...Nameable • mumble? 18:14, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Who? -OptyC Sucks! CUN18:53, 27 Jun

You know, the basketball player. - Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 18:56, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

I had a pair of his shoes! Then some bigger kids beat me up and took them. Good times. -OptyC Sucks! CUN18:59, 27 Jun

Were those your underwear on the flagpole? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 19:02, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

What color were they? I mean, NO! That never happened! -OptyC Sucks! CUN19:03, 27 Jun

What's "underwear?" Nameable • mumble? 20:12, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

It's what you'll get to wear once you've outgrown doing a poopy in your pants, poopypants. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 20:16, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

THAT NEVER HAPPENED EITHER! -OptyC Sucks! CUN20:21, 27 Jun

That's right, Opty! If you block it out from your memory enough times, you'll start to believe it never happened. I do it all the time. Nameable • mumble? 21:11, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

OH MY GOD HE'S FUCKING DEAD!!!! mAttlobster. (hello) 09:45, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Speaking of all the celebrities dying that day

I heard that Farrah Fawcett's last words were a dying wish was that all the children of the world would be safe. Three hours later, Michael Jackson was dead. I read it on the internet, it must be true.--<<>> 11:47, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Steve McNair is also dead

You know, the co-MVP of the NFL in 2003? No? No one? Oh, well, never mind then. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 17:28, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
