Your being ironic I assume?

You don't hear much about the guy anymore.

If that by that you mean that "You won't hear about this guy 24/7 anymore", I agree.

I was being sarcastic, you were close.

Who?

Oh yeah, Farrah, cancer right? I'm treading lightly here cause I know alot of guys don't appreciate me making fun of cancer.

How many cancer victims does it take to change a light bulb?
None: they're too weak to climb the ladder.

During the Michael Jackson post-death hoopla, I never quite understood what was going on.

I mean, I know - he had some hit pop songs in the 70's and 80's. I get that. That's fine.

And then for a couple of decades he has mainly been famous for making himself look bad and having some drug issues and being charged with diddling. And he dangled a child off a balcony and did some effeminate whining and lying on 60 Minutes.

The math doesn't work for me. Those things do not add up to the fuss I saw.

I feel like I must be missing something.

Heath Ledger and Anna Nicole Smith still take the cake on celebrity death spectacles for me. Jackson was a music icon. Ledger a B-rate actor and Smith was a Playboy bunny but they got the same coverage as Jackson from what I can remember.
