I've just remembered.
Back in the good old days (1981/2?) I had a Jupiter Ace (anybody remember that). I wrote a buzz-phrase generator on it that could turn out paragraphs of that sort of stuff. All you had to do was feed it four or five pseudo-babble words, the number of paragraphs required and away it went. It actually produced some readable stuff.
I've come over all nostalgic now, though I'll be alright after a lie down.

That is a paradigm of Ennui-Relief posted at the critical-mass moment of user intensity.
It diversifies the consumer logicality whilst upholding core mission statement of this site and over arcs the constraints imposed by the market drivers and opinion formers.
It will allow for a progress through the work-day/week end leisure horizon and force us into blue sky thinking.

Yeah, as you said, at the end of day this out of the box thinking and problem solving attitude, focused on core mission value, is exactly the kind of pro active attitude that is valued today in this hard credit crunched environment!

True.
I must admit one of my thoughts was he doesn't have to worry about people exploiting him any more.

And making jokes about him, and suing him, etc. If he doesn't have peace, at least he has escaped the derision.

I don't understand what is wrong with some people to make jokes about a dead man. He might have lived like a maniac, he might have been stupid, pedophile, but what the f***? HE'S GONE, OKAY?!
Nobody is perfect if we start digging into personal life. I think that I have not been "perfect" enough to make fun of other people's personal life, I've made some inexcusable mistakes (I'm sure we all have done such things), so I really wish people get a life.
Are we as good as him if compared professionally? Do I need to mention about his thriller album? Best selling ever, even after several years of its release?! The people who are making jokes about him, what great stuff have they achieved in their professional life?! Is it in comparison with MJ's success?
Just because someone is famous, does that mean "we all" can take a peek into his personal life and start making comments?! What ridiculous attitude...

Hey, I didn't start making jokes about Michael Jackson when he died, and I'm not going to stop because he died.

Why not? What's the difference (and this isn't the beginning of a joke) between making a joke about someone alive and someone dead - maiunly the dead one won't get to hear the joke. I don't get the 'respect the dead' attitude - if you don't respect someone when they're alive, why change when they're dead?

Yep - and with all that stuff going on, isn't he a great target for jokes?
Rajesh R Subramanian wrote: Nobody is perfect
Ahem!

Trouble is, ain't nobody but the odd CP person going to laugh if I make a joke about you!

No! And why should it be? I can criticise, for example, a movie that I think is crap - I'm not saying that I could do better (though there are a few..) just that it's crap.
So I can criticise MJ if I want - so what if he had a best selling album - I can decide I don't like it if I want, surely?

Unfortunately, today the answer to your question is "Yes". Is it right that we can do this? Well, the people doing it are the press. They do it to make money, and they make money by selling the stories to us, the public.
A joke is a joke. It may be tasteless, it may be unfunny, and it may be hurtful - but it's a joke. Now I don't propose popping to a funeral and taking the piss out of the deceased (although I did get a laugh out of the attendents in at my Mother's funeral - and I like to think that would have made her laugh too!) but the fact that someone is knocking on the pearly gates shouldn't suddenly put them off limits
