Media ignores Michael Jackson memorial

[Muley]

Shame Jarvis Cocker wasn't invited to pay 'tribute' to the ex-kiddy fiddler.

[daizie]

how long do you reckon he should have got then?

Bob, Yes, your right , so should he have

What's 'should' got to do with it? He's very famous, very rich and he lives in America.

I think Jarvis is having a word here (MJ Shrine at the O2)

I'm not very up to date with this pop singer cellery shit so would someone please tell me what the connection between Jarvis Cocker and Michael Jackson is?

[Muley]

He famously pricked Jacksons'pomposity by upstaging him at the Brit awards a few years back

[Jah Lush]

Here you go Brendan.

Cocker cocks a snoop at Jackson's Messiah act

I hope Jarvis Cocker gets this sort of send off when he dies. Anyone who does that to Wacko is a legend in my eyes.

[Keef]

I thought it was a bit pants. He even said after that he sat watching it all, and wanted to do something, but once he marched on stage, he realised he had no idea what to do, and thought he looked a bit of a tit.

Thought that counts though.

[*Bob*]

It was the thought that counted.

If these days of MTV-munching suckers weeing their pants at Bruno's 'off the cuff' (ahem) Eminem stunt, you forget what an actual impromptu muck-about looks like.

They just know they're born do they *Bob*. I'll get the ball rolling.

Haha BBW , you are a star! , did you see my friend Beverley there, his PA , trying her best . LOL She says that clip is her claim to fame !

[SeanMacGabhann]

Jarvis' stunt was a bit cringy, but let's not forget that Jackson's "people" tried to have him prosecuted and even claimed that he interfered/molested at least one of the children on stage

I think it was Bob Mortimer of all people who sprung Jarvis from jail, him being a qualified legal bod and all - but the fact that such nasty accusations were thrown at an essentially foppish rogue, pissed and upset at the hijacking of the brits award always left a nasty taste

As for people rushing to condemn him as a pedarist - well we might have our opinions but we don't know, and it doesn't show anyone in a good light to throw accusations like that at a dead person - anyone could do it to you if they took against you and you would have no defence. Let's see how this plays out is my tack on this one

As for the wall to wall coverage - it's repulsive in every way shape or form. If anyone feels moved or touched by the kids mourning their "in-the-same-way-harry-is-charles "father" ", it would surely be better to wonder why the same family which pushed MJ himself when he was just a kid into the public light to such detrimental personal effect would repeat the mistake..

These kids have nothing to do with any of us but if we do care the best that can be hoped for them is they lead normal lives away from the ghoulish limelight which is surely now awaiting them

[Jeremy]

They are kids... just because the repugnant Jackson family pushed them on stage at this most tasteless of ceremonies, doesn't make their emotions less genuine.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I'm not claiming their emotions are not genuine (although.. if pushed... if I HAD to... I might admit to suspecting some manipulation)

But that's me being cold - let's take their emotion at face value - I still we should not be party to their grieving IMO. By being in public it is the start of a process which will see their lives corrupted by media and public noseyness...

[Keef]

Bloody shame Prescott's left was already half extended, and he never got much force behind that punch. Would have loved if he'd let a full powered right hit the mullet headed c**t.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Totally keef! One of Prescott's finest moments

The section in Andrew Rawnsley's book on the Blair Years which deals with the Prescott Punch is worth the money alone

[annaj]

Ok, maybe it's because I've only just woken up, but am I the only one to be struggling to see how we went from MJ to Prescott?

[bigbadwolf]

My fault I'm afraid Anna.

Michael Jackson Earth Song YouTube Clip showing Jarvis Cocker invading the stage

(cringy, but he was my hero that night. I had already gone from ambivelance to annoyance with MJ but that night I went to hatred)

Then, as he says, BBW became youtube happy and showed another example of someone trying to prick a public figures pomposity (but this time failing - marvelously!)

[annaj]

Ah, ok, yes.

I'm a bit lazy when it comes to link-clicking sometimes.
