All those are debatable

-Farah Fawcett died.

-Michael Jackson died.

-I didn't drink for the 10th consecutive day.

-Pecos Bill did NOT rape anyone.



Yes JJ, an historic day indeed.

[DwightShrute]

May he RIP

For me personally it won't be more historic than Ed McMahon's death or even Farrah Fawcett. Who by all accounts were good people and not freaks who molested little boys. I felt sorry for Michael actually and never saw the appeal. To each his own I guess. I could never listen to his music, thinking who actually wrote and was singing it.

[RogueJuror]

mj fans will be marked

everybody else will forget by next week

settle down jj, don't get caught up by the media, that's why you lose so many bets

Maybe but May 21, 2011 will be a day man has not seen since the World wide flood 7,000 years ago.

Mikey I'm gonna sin (adultery, etc) all the way up to May 20, 2011 and then pray for forgiveness and become born again to hedge against going to hell.

farrah's gotta be feeling bad from heaven. boy did she die on the wrong day.. MJ is stealing all the attention and everyone don't even care about farrah now.. poor girl.

btw, If Obama gets shot tomorrow, i think it will be bigger than MJ's death.

OR

If they capture Osama and they bring him to the U.S. and we see him here.. this will kill MJ's death by a mile.

IF Oprah dies, it will be bigger.

IF George Clooney dies, it will be bigger.

LOL George Clooney. Imagine him going into ER

[Chi_archie]

if the world ended in less than 3 years there is no way i'd be caught dead by man or God posting on an internet forum, let alone a gambling forum......


I'm a bit ashamed still and I expect to live almost to 100 like most of my recent ancestors....... and i'm only 30 now

[pimike]

Obama and his side kick dies that leave us in deep shit. Now that is scary.

Ashamed of what? As for living a 100 years don't believe it. Man is only averaging about 70-80 years now.

[Chi_archie]

i'm not average

[betplom]

i'm not average

I'd prefer to hear your girlfriends response to this claim.

BTW: Archer you never did deliver on the gf's beaver pics.

[wtf]

i'm not average

below average is the new average, we still love you!

Agreed... on all except Clooney. Michael had 100x the impact of Clooney.

I think this would be EVEN BIGGER, had the accusations not been there. A large part of the population tuned him out years ago. It's still the BIGGEST news story of the year, or maybe since 9-11 but imagine had Michael not had any legal problems-- then the outpouring would be from everyone, everywhere.

Whether or not you believe MJ was innocent, you can't deny the impact he had on many generations growing up from the late 60s to early 90s.

The names that I'll add that could possibly be an even bigger story would be Ali, Jordan or Tiger.

Then again, entertainment reaches far beyond sports, but I thought I'd contribute to this and say who could possibly be more of a shock/bigger news story.

Still crazy to think about. The guy was only 50. You expect celebs with private doctors to make sure they do whatever they can to live as long as they can...

[wtf]

the death of princess di was infinitely more shocking than this mediocre pedophile

she used her power to help others

[TheIntegrityKid]

oh yes... Princess Di... that was tragic as well

[Nicky Santoro]

yeah, tiger would be maybe bigger, but then again, not that many sports fans.. only men in general, whereas mj is all sexes.. mj still is bigger than jordan, tiger, kobe or any sports figure.

[reno cool]

ridiculous,
I haven't listened to any of his music since the 80's and I still know he's way bigger than any of the other names mentioned. Not only was he the biggest icon of pop culture but he actually had enormous talent. Whatever accusations against him make no difference.

Yeah, maybe for those that have no idea how to set their priorities in life. It's one thing to be saddened by the death of a popular celebrity. But tell me, just how much has the world suffered without Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain and now Michael Jackson? The only thing that can make this a historic day is if enough sheep truly believe it's a history-changing event.

[pavyracer]

The soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan yesterday are more important in my book than Wacko Jacko.

the joy and overall good feeling these 4 men have brought to the world with their music far exceeds anything that a bunch of gamblers (sports bettors, poker players, what have you) could ever bring

i'm sure ppl will really care when the phil hellmuths or billy walters of the world pass away



great musicians = treasures

great gamblers = waste of human space

[Willie Bee]

Can't really argue with you hoopster, but then again I never claimed that the world would miss poker players or gamblers. I will, however, stop short of calling four dead drug abusers "treasures," regardless of their musical contributions.

[jjgold]

Michael Jackson u
is bigger than all names mentioned here combined.

so much self loathing on this forum. I hate to see where you put poor gamblers.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Really? The guy hasn't made an album in eons. What's so different today than a week ago? Nothing.

[Emmett Brown]

Maybe but May 21, 2011 will be a day man has not seen since the World wide flood 7,000 years ago.

2 days now and i can't believe how i cant stop thinking of poor MJ.. i miss the kid.. i still can't believe he's dead. i am obsessed with this now..

Never been so much coverage of anyone before, this is amazing.

[Willie Bee]

Meanwhile no mention of fallen heroes such as John D. Blair, Ricky D. Jones and Rodrigo A. Munguia.
