Twitter?

Was Jackson frantically calling for help via a tweet at the time?

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

No, that's a link to a tweet by a Twitter breaking news service. They're really good and you should all follow them if you like to get news five minutes before everyone else and half an hour before the BBC...

Still, if he dies, he'll come back as a Thriller zombie, right? Or will it be more like that South Park with him chasing Blanket around the house as parts of him fall off?

Hmm. I wonder if when confronted with Michael Jackson in cardiac arrest, the paramedics panicked and forgot their training.
"Quick! What do I do to his chest?!"
"Beat it! Just beat it!"

Dimrill · **Posted:** Thu Jun 25, 2009 22:13

On the beeb now.

Considering his reputation for being a slippery customer, I suspect this is a "get out" of his gigs at the Dome next month. There'll be a lot of stressed insurance agents...

That is terribly cynical of you.

I just can't top Dimrill's joke. Gonna think harder and longer...

Of course, after a few minutes of CPR with no results they'd say.
"It's no good, his heart's not starting up again. I think his liver's failing and his kidneys too, and we can't restart them."
"Well we Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'!"

Thriller was the first album I ever bought. Sigh.

He's dead.

Just reading the updated story on the Beeb - it says he was given CPR. I bet his fucking nose came off in the medic's hand.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Thu Jun 25, 2009 22:52

BBC now saying he "was found not breathing", so lordy knows how long he'd been wherever he'd been

"He needs saline and possibly plasma. Hook a line up to him, and keep giving him more. Don't stop 'till you get enough in there."

Is it true? Is he really HIStory?

Well next time you should think before you speak, or perhaps try your remarks out first on a passer by or the man in the mirror.

Oh well, with Farrah Fawcett dying today as well, Michael, You Are Not Alone.

Everywhere else people get annoyed when I make jokes like this.

I feel like a Stranger in Moscow.

I wonder how that howling dove releaser will react to this.

Every year at Glastonbury there are rumours that Cliff Richard has died, and various other celebrities.

They'll be having a fucking field day with this one.

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

It'll be a real Earth Song.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Thu Jun 25, 2009 23:05

I think it goes on longer than a day in that field...

It could be a suspicious death, and it's certainly not Black or White.

He certainly had Gone Too Soon. Or not soon enough, if you're McCauley Culkin.

Yep. Mrs Chinny got a obit alert text about 10 minutes ago from IRN/Sky (she's still gets the obit texts despite not working in radio for years).

Maybe he was struck by a smooth criminal.

Some Popbitch posters report that a few American outlets are reporting it as OD.

At least it gives News 24 something to fill the airtime:

"Stay with us on BBC News 24.... the midnight hour is close at hand."

Stolen, natch.

True story - I have this long-running recurring dream where I am played his "comeback single" by the head of Universal Records Canada (I briefly worked there, to explain that bizarre choice of dream venue). It's this awesome 80s funk-synth thing where he sings "I've got the music" over and over.

One day I will find a singer to actually record it.

OK! Magazine also confirms pop star Michael Jackson has passed away. It says the hospital remains on lockdown.

In case he escapes...?
