Hypocrisy and Michael Jackson

July 5th, 2009

My friend sent me this video. Absolutely hilarious! I couldn’t have said it better myself. Profanity warning.

Jackson Flashmob in London

June 28th, 2009

This is hilarious, and somewhat touching. I know this (totally hot) guy in London who got it into his head on Friday to stage a “Mass moonwalk” in front of London’s Liverpool Station. Rented speakers, blocked off the street, and thousands of people showed up to pay tribute to Michael Jackson and to dance in the street.

Lunatic. But at least he’s a resourceful lunatic, because I sure as heck couldn’t have pulled something like that off on short notice. We should bring him over to America to help us organize the Tea Parties next weekend! Well done, Milo.

For the record, I am NOT dead

June 25th, 2009

But I think I’m the only one. What a day! Farrah Fawcett succumbed to the cancer she’s been battling for years. She was 62, and her friends and family were at her side.

But poor Farrah barely got half a day’s news coverage before the madman that is/was Michael Jackson was rushed to hospital in a coma. He was later pronounced dead. He was 50 years old.

And then… rumors started flying around the Internet that Jeff Goldblum was dead. He’s not. And Harrison Ford dead. He’s not. What the high holy hell is going on? Relax people, before you break the Intertoobz.

I would like to address petty pieties, which I will get into further on Monday’s Brass Balls Radio (which is going to sound a helluva lot like the annual Oscar death list roundup). I didn’t like Michael Jackson. I wasn’t even a big fan at the appropriate time in 1984. As I grew older he disgusted me. He paid off parents to let him fondle their children - both he and the parents involved should rot in hell. And on top off all that, he was a joke. He was butt of eleventy-billion jokes for more than 15 years. So those of you who are all pious today about his passing are full of shit if you were part of that two-decade ridicule. Jackson leaves behind 2 or 3 kids (I don’t care enough to look it up), and I have a feeling their lives are about to get really, really normal. Good for them. I am not going to mourn his passing any more than I mourned wife-beater James Brown’s or will mourn murderer Ted Kennedy when he finally kicks it.

That said, Jackson was insanely talented (insane being the operative word), especially in his youth. And talent should be respected and remembered. So if you’re going to take a moment to mourn the death of Michael Jackson, at least remember him at his best and blackest.

And if you need a laugh after all the deaths, this is from Twitter:

“Heeeeeeeeeere’s Farrahhhhhh!”
“Heeeeeeeeeere’s Michaelllll!”
God: “Dammit Ed. Cut it out.”

Heh.

Hotel billionaire Barron Hilton is stiffing his high-living, hard-partying granddaughters, Paris and Nicky, yesterday announcing plans to give 97 percent of his vast fortune to charity.

His plan includes a $1.2 billion pledge to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, named after his father - a donation that includes the windfall from the recent sale of Hilton Hotels Corp. and the pending sale of the world’s biggest casino company, Harrah’s Entertainment Inc.

Barron Hilton, 80, chair man of the foundation, intends “to contribute 97 percent of his entire net worth, estimated today at $2.3 billion, including the created trusts, at whatever value it is at the time of his passing,” the foundation declared.

There was no immediate comment from Paris.

But family expert Jerry Oppenheimer, author of “House of Hilton,” has told The Post that Paris has been an “embarrassment” for the bluebloods, sullying the family name with her vacuous antics.

Poetic, ain’t it? Like Leona Helmsley leaving her money to her dog, only better.

When Paris Hilton becomes too much

July 2nd, 2007

To television bosses, it may have seemed a moment of onscreen madness.

But to viewers fed up with the whole Paris Hilton saga, it was a long-awaited outbreak of sanity.

American newsreader Mika Brzezinski, co-presenter of MSNBC’s Morning Joe programme, refused to read out the story of the celebrity socialite’s release from jail ahead of items on Iraq and developments at the White House.

Miss Brzezinski then screwed up, shredded and attempted to set fire to the script on air. She told viewers: “I hate it and I don’t think it should be our lead. I just don’t believe in covering that story, at least not as the lead story on the newscast, when we have a day like today.”
