Billy Mays is dead and I am more concerned than I could ever be about Michael Jackson.

Billy Mays died and I am thinking "Holy crap! What about Pitchmen (his show on Discovery Channel)?" I hear about his widow and the fact that he died at 50 and that seems so young. He might have died from a concussion that he got from a rough landing in an airplane. I see a commercial with him selling Arm and Hammer (I think that is what it was) and I feel a light moment of sadness. Bummer. He will be missed.

Meanwhile...
Michael Jackson died and the media goes apeshit. To me, he had been dead since the early 90s, when he started doing all the weird shit. The Jackson 5 awesome. Thriller was an amazing album. There is no topping early 80's Jackson. But after all the other crap, when he died, my first thought was "Good riddance!"

I don't care about his last moments. I don't care about mysterious circumstances. I do like the clips of earlier stuff such as Jackson 5 appearances, their cartoon show, and early music videos and the music (who doesn't like ABC123 ?), but that is about it.
