YT Edit: And Ed McMahon

I'm actually annoyed at Jackson for dying so close to Farah Fawcett, and thus overshadowing her.

Either way:
Ed McMahon, I wish you could have gone much higher on the world, but I'm still glad you went out with class.
Farah Fawcett, inspiring story, hopefully an inspiring death.
Michael Jackson, I'm glad your freaky ass has found peace.

I also need to see at least 10 MJ is dead jokes in here by the time this weekend is over.

A lot of my friends are upset at the levity with which I have treated his death, it seems. The guy's a fucking pederast. That's what he's been famous for for the last 15 years.

They'll be missed. Crying or Very sad

One question remains, though: Did Michael die as a black or white person?

Some of the better things I have seen about it all.

Interesting note: Michael is not actually dead. He's just biding his time until the Zombie Apocalypse.

Billy Mays died

What the fuck is going on here? Everyone is dieing at once.

It must be some kinda bizarro rapture.

I'm sincerely more upset about Billy Mays than anyone thus far this week. o.o

It's understandable. Ed McMahon was quite old, Farah was fighting cancer, Michael Jackson while a bit more shocking was very frail.
Billy Mays not only didn't appear to be in any poor shape, he appeared to be in great shape. He looked 10 years younger than he really was (or I'm a poor judge of age), had plenty of energy, was on the Tonight Show just a week ago, and an episode of Pitchmen played an hour before I found out. Hell, there are still Billy Mays commercials running, it's sad. As strange as it sounds, this is almost equivalent to the death of Steve Irwin in strange shock value (the only way it could be completely like Steve Irwin is if Billy Mays died of OxiClean-Poisoning).

..... Okay, now you made me think that God just wanted to make a VERY weird version of Lupin the 3rd with the people he grabbed.

Yeah. Apparently it may have something to do with a bumpy landing of a flight he was on recently.

The first time that I'd ever heard of this Billy Mays person was upon his death.
