Stop Staring at my Tweets – Ongoing

On Facebook and Twitter, this is how my friends and I reacted to, in the immortal words of Winona Ryder, *all this death.*

Marc: R.I.P. Farrah. Oh how I used to hold your poster with one hand…

Kate: Anal cancer? Is the HPV virus a risk factor for this as well? Is this yet another reason to say no to up-the-boom-boom hankypank?

Aimee B: Michael Jackson, dead @ 50. Michael Jackson’s nose, dead at 26. Michael’s chin, dead at 17. Michael’s cheeks, dead at 5.

Jeff: Should be quite a Motown funeral for Michael Jackson… Except for Elton John singing “Goodbye Billie Jean.”

Marc: R.I.P. Jacko. Saw KMart is already honoring you with boys’ underwear half off! Too soon?

Jocelyn: CNN has their UN correspondent covering the crowds at the Apollo mourning Michael Jackson. Picture Ben Stein at the BET Hip Hop Awards.

Jeff: News reports say Jermaine showed up at the hospital carrying Emmanuel Lewis. :::awkward:::

Marc: McMahon, Fawcett, Jackson, Possibly Ford dropped like The Fly…Please let Limbaugh be next.

Clark: To all the people who are making nasty comments about Michael Jackson’s death on other people’s FB pages when you know they’re having a hard time with it: What are you trying to accomplish? Seriously, I just want to know. Is there a point or are you just that miserable that you can’t show your fellow humans a smidge of compassion? I mean, it’s not like your words can hurt Michael Jackson, so…

MrKamp: If you’re vaguely accomplished and think you have ANY chance at getting a Times obit, for God’s sake, DON’T die tonight.

Sloan: ED MCMAHON IS DEAD, PEOPLE.

Kate: You realize of course that this proves God exists. And that he’s on Mark Sanford‘s side.
