Suicidal Jackson Fans?

I get it. MJ was (is?) essentially the most iconic figure in music ever… I realize he made Thriller. But honestly, attempting suicide over the dude’s death?! I find it so incredibly strange that somewhere on this planet prior to his death, people were sitting in their houses blasting Off The Wall 24/7 while worshiping a hair doll of Jacko. Do these people realize that he hasn’t made a socially relevant record since 95’s History? Do they forget the dude was a drug addict [...]
RIP Harry Kalas
Posted on 13. Apr, 2009 by some guy in Sports
Today, one of the great voices American sports broadcasting has ever known passed away. Harry Kalas, man behind the mic for the Philadelphia Phillies, Eagles and NFL films, died suddenly at the age of 73 before a game in Washington DC. He was found unconscious on the floor of the broadcast booth around 12:30 Eastern, and pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Whether you lived in Philadelphia or not, Harry Kalas was the man, and I for one will miss just knowing he’s around. When I was in high school I [...]

Please feel free to add your own stats and comments!
Dear Red States:
We’ve decided we’re leaving. We intend to form our own country, and
we’re taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren’t aware,
that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast.
We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially
to the people of the new country of New California.
To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We
get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the [...]
Mr. Clean Dies at 92
Posted on 02. Oct, 2008 by Dallas VonKillbot in Blog, TV
This is probably the most useless blurb of information EVAR, but I thought it was worth noteriety. House Peters Jr. died due to pneumonia on Wednesday at the age of 92. Peters, aside from being the face of Mr. Clean Household Cleaners, was a western star, appeared in several episodes of Lassie and played Henchman Earl in the 1949 rendition of Batman and Robin.
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – The actor who played muscular “Mr. Clean” in hundreds of dirt-busting television commercials in the late 1950s and early 1960s, has died in [...]

More Bad News…
Posted on 11. Aug, 2008 by alisse in Blog, Film, Music, TV
Monday morning is not going so well as I bring you more unfortunate news. A huge icon of mine and many others, Issac Hayes, has passed. Some relatives found Hayes dead yesterday next to his treadmill that was still running in his home in Memphis. He is best known for his writing and recording of the “Theme From Shaft” for the original film Shaft in 1971. The song quickly reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Hayes is an icon of American soul music with his funk sound stemming [...]
