#49 - RIP MJ

It was the decade when...

Michael Jackson snapped the last tether connecting him to planet earth, then died.

Given the orgy of obits and retrospectives that were published after Michael Jackson's untimely demise this year, I have absolutely nothing to add to the chrous of voices. It's all been said. Instead here is a photo-essay about the last decade of Michael's life, commentary by yours truly.

"Hey Brit, did you hear madness is contagious now?"

When Liza is the most realistic looking person in the picture, you know you're not in Kansas anymore. Seriously, I don't even know where to begin with this caption...all I do know is that if they recreated this tableau at Madame Tussaud's, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

At first glance, I thought that was Dixie Carter. With all his money, why did Michael have to construct his protest placard with crafts purchased from Michael's? Did he think that the store was named after him?

"Behold Simba, King of the Jungle!" It's so cute how he dresses his son up as a Klansman for Halloween.

"Martin, if I say it's raining, it's raining."

Blinking is so overrated.

Michael Jackson : 2LGT 2LGT 2QUIT. I guess he was a morning person.

"This is the part of the story when Sleeping Beauty is supposed to wake up!"

"Formerly black now white, freakish, acquitted child-molesting pop superstars of the world, UNITE!"

The Rest Is Silence.

You AUGHT to remember.
