I know Farrah Fawcett didn't want to die . . . she's fought hard for the past years against an terrible enemy. It was her bad luck to die on the same day Michael Jackson had a fatal heart attack. She's certainly getting short shrift in the news world.
The news since I got home (about 6) has been NOTHING but Michael Jackson . . . puleeze. Michael was a wonderful entertainer - especially when he was a cute young boy. However, I have to believe that somewhere in this large world of ours there is news infinitely more important to the vast majority of us than the passing of this very strange man.
I would like to hear about the latest news from Iran . . . the economy . . . even where in the world was the governor of South Carolina. I realize that in this day and age we're slaves to the 24 hour news cycle and OMG we have to focus extensively on "stars". But honestly, I would prefer real news . . . news that will actually affect me in some way, as the sudden, sad death of this man won't.

This is a tad late, but I agree with your post 100%! I too am tired of hearing about Jacko ad nauseum. You can't turn on any news show - local or cable - without it being regurgitated over and over again. I grew up with the kid, I even own the Thriller album (remember those?)and think he brought dancing and music videos to a new level...but come on....aren't we fighting a war and isn't the economy in the pits?
