King of Pop is Dead

Please take a moment of silence to remember this amazing role-model. Michael Jackson was pronounced dead today at 2:26pm after suffering a heart attack. He was 50 years old. I am surprised he has lasted this long given the amount of chemicals and facial procedures he's gone through. Although, he has "looked" dead for quite some time now. More details inside.


Despite Michael Jackson's insanity, he did give us some freakin' sweet stuff: Thriller, the moonwalk, the white glove, and lots of great music.

Here's the story from [NYDailyNews]

Pop icon Michael Jackson died Thursday after being taken to a Los Angeles hospital in cardiac arrest, officials said. He was 50.

The "Thriller" superstar was unconscious and not breathing when Fire Department paramedics were summoned to Jackson's Bel Air home by a 911 call at 12:26 California time.

They desperately tried to resuscitate the faded King of Pop as a cherry-red ambulance sped him to UCLA Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

"You've got to save him!" aides to the star screamed as he was wheeled into the hospital on the stretcher, the Web site TMZ.com reported.

Jackson's mother and his sister LaToya were seen rushing into the hospital, apparently after he had already died.

The cause of death was unknown. The Los Angeles County coroner said an autopsy would be performed Friday.

Apparently Michael's death spawned some rumors that Harrison Ford and Jeff Goldblum died today as well. Totally fake.
