This is Getting Silly !
Anyone would think the world has come to an end just because some pop "idol" has snuffed it. Come on, let's get a sense of proportion here. OK so this Jackson person was a great entertainer, and no doubt had a lot of fans, but there are far more important matters in the world than his untimely demise. Yet there has been nothing else on the news for 36 hours now, with documentaries and "specials" sprouting up all over the bloody place. It's just like when that Diana woman was killed, and it's driving me nuts. Can someone please let me know when it will all be over so I can turn the TV on again ? Am I the only one who thinks like this, or is the media trying to convince me that I should really care about a person whom I only knew about because of his silly publicity stunts ? Not everyone likes pop music. Farrah Fawcett died a few days ago and was making the headlines until M Jackson died - is her passing to be mourned less now ? And what about the sixty poor devils killed by a car bomb in Iraq the other day ? Doesn't anyone care about them and their families ? This idolization of pop stars, film stars, footballers etc makes me sick. When will the world grow up ?

I agree with you on this. As much as I enjoyed this entertainers, they were just that: entertainers. They weren't "real" to me, not a part of my daily life.
ReplyDeleteI lost my dear mother 4 months ago after a horrible battle with cancer. She was loved by so many, touched so many lives and yet..where was the fanfare? There were no magazine covers or page-long articles chronicling her life, no newspaper headlines announcing her death.
It's just all too, too much!
I watch so little TV that I didn't really notice the whole Michael Jackson circus. Yes, turn off the TV and go off for walks, surely no little bird will sing a Jackson song to you ! ;-)))
