I thought I'd treat myself to a little television nonsense during my dinner and downloaded the Michael Jackson Funeral Show - or whatever they called his event at Staples Center. On one hand, I feel really bad for the guy, seeing his passing from the earth made into a spectacle of such rank foolishness. I don't care what you've done - once you die your account on earth is settled and your memory deserves to see your remains treated respectfully.

On the other hand, there are a lot of fans still alive. Man, the Schadenfreude is at toxic levels. I only made it through about 5 minutes of skimming the MJF Show before I thought I'd rather just remember him in my own way, so I searched for the choicest artifacts of his stardom, the music videos from the mid-1980's.

Read the comments attached to this video. You will not be sorry. It's right up there with some of the best misunderstood movie reviews on Amazon.com.

BTW, yes, I know really needs one more blog post with some trite, pithy truisms spun out of careless reaction to Michael Jackson's passing. But I figured it was worth a post because the link that should make you laugh. There is no higher form of discourse than amusement.
