Truthfully, as far as I'm concerned the only interesting thing about the whole Michael Jackson story is the way the news media panders to the audience and completely stops covering actual news.

You're not alone in this.

I love that song so very much. There's an xkcd comic about it, too.

A comic? Where? Where?

I bought the CD. Also bought one to send to a friend. And now I wait on the coming new Julia Ecklar CD.

You could say I've just done news coverage about the news coverage about the news coverage about Michael Jackson's death.

So if someone does news coverage about your news coverage about the news coverage on the news coverage..... then a duck will come down and we win a hundred dollars?

I amused myself telling students (since the first thing they said for half the week coming to class was "Sensei, Michael Jackson died!") "Yes. And the world ground to a halt for 48 hours."
