Ridiculous Michael Jackson Overblown Bullshit (Comedians Making Fun of Dead People)

Vote 0 Votes

I'm just venting here... I really wish we weren't so saturated about this crap. Maybe I'm contributing... My other purpose is that maybe you'll find the video amusing though.

This is why I like Kimmel... he gets flak for being low-brow, but he's the only one that doesn't give a crap and ridicules the ridiculous. He even gets in a joke on how the more painful story of Farrah Fawcett is being ignored (I don't care about her either but still). He goes on about 5 min. in about the MJ circus here in L.A. and elsewhere... and don't miss the last bit, it's priceless.

Note how there's no Jackson kid-molesting jokes or anything like that, yet many people find this offensive. I don't imagine even Stewart or Colbert saying stuff like this right now. I'm sure Maher would though, but not many others.

To put this in perspective, they closed the medical center where MJ was brought in... they weren't even letting workers in easily. Freaking ridiculous. Makes me miss Norm MacDonald when he did his Crocodile Hunter bit on the Daily Show after a couple of weeks of his death (I remember Norm posted it here, but I think was deleted after the Copyright guy started making threats in the comments):
