MJ Fans Are Losing Their Damn Minds!!!
Ok I have to tell yall that I love me some MJ as much as the next man and I hope to see him on the other side … but I have to say, there is no way in hell I’m going to kill myself to be with him. After reading this story on www.Contactmusic.com I was left with one question, “What the hell are yall thinking?” As many as 12 people have taken their lives after hearing about his passing. This is what www.Contactmusic.com said:
Fans of MICHAEL JACKSON have been hit hard by the star’s death – 12 devotees have allegedly killed themselves following the tragic news. The King Of Pop passed away on Thursday (25Jun09) from a cardiac arrest and millions of his fans worldwide went into mourning. But several of them found it too hard to cope and subsequently ended their own lives, according to the founder of an online Jackson fanclub.
Gary Taylor, president and owner of MJJcommunity.com, says, “I know there has been an increase (in deaths), I now believe the figure is 12. It is a serious situation that these people are going through but Michael Jackson would never want this. He would want them to live. ”They (fans) can’t accept it, they feel in some sort of different reality. I’m stunned that he’s dead. One minute he is coming here for concerts and the next he is gone. I think the funeral will be where the reality kicks in that he is gone and won’t be coming back, there will be a huge depression in the fan community when that happens.” And Jackson’s political activist pal Reverend Jesse Jackson has even recorded a message to his fans, urging them not to “self-destruct” in the wake of the singer’s demise. Jesse Jackson says, “This is a time when hearts are heavy. There is great pain but great cause to celebrate Michael’s life. It made Michael happy saying ‘We Are The World’. Don’t self-destruct. We fall down sometimes, we get back up. That’s the right thing to do. In Michael’s name let’s live together as brothers and sisters and not die apart as fools.” Thousands of Jackson fans are planning a vigil on 13 July (09) at the O2 Arena in London where the star was due to kick off his 50-date comeback tour.

When I was young my obsession was the band Duran Duran when they were at the height. I was 14-15 years old. I cannot imagine adults behaving in a way where they think life is over because Michael died. In all honesty, they have some sort of mental problem that would allow them to be so attached to a complete stranger that they would kill themselves or spend their days grieving him and messing up their own lives-such as working and paying bills. For the young people obesessing, they don’t even know or understand who Micheal use to be and why he became the King of POP. They weren’t even born. Many, many, many years ago Michael was somewhat healthy and normal. His talent blew everyone away. For many, many more years he has been a reclusive,a self destructive person. He has not in any way been a healthy role model. To these people, love who you know. Feel sad for those who ruin their lives and move on to what is important–your own life.

I am so sorry for his children. That is okay to grieve for those innocent kids that have lost their father.
