It seems unlikely that the trance we find oursevles deeper and deeper in is going to lift on its own or that things will get any better. Lower IQs, unprecidented ignorance and flabby bellies will become more and more the norm as the years pass.
The Today show ran a huge special on Neverland Ranch this morning. They interviewed Jermaine, they toured the house, they brought on experts with blonde hair and big tits they went on and on and on and on and on. I too would've much rather seen some coverage of Col. Kenneth L. Reusser's life instead of this mindless dribble but the fact is that the majority of people in this country don't give a flying fuck about some old wrinkled war hero. People no longer have the stomach to fully encompass what it takes to be a man of that magnitude. Its probably more unreal to them than any fairy tale, there is no association and they are simply not interested.
Now, ....THERE'S something people can relate to. Don't you assholes know he made Thriller?

Funny and sad all in one.
MJ was a very talanted entertainer...no doubt.
