Why do people insist on being so sick and twisted about michael jacksons death?

A man with 3 young children has died at the age of 50 and people are making jokes about him being biodegradable, whether he should be allowed to be cremated due to fumes, whether they can get refunds on concert tickets, whether its fake.....

What happened to people just mourning the death of a terrific performer, singer, songwriter? OK he was a bit odd, but then who isn't??

Update:

SFF: he was found not guilty of those charges. So if I were you I'd keep those kind of opinions to yourself.

    People just have been completely desensitized.

    I was not a Michael Jackson fan, but I was really shocked and sad for his family. Anyone who can make jokes about death obviously hasn't had anyone close to them pass away.

    well you want the honest truth?

    because these past years

    when he 'became white'

    the picture of him holding the baby over the edge

    and the assumptions and accusations of him being a child molester

    came around

    people started to turn the king of pop

    into someone totally different

    into a monster almost

    and it seemed they had forgotten the wonderful music

    and joy he brought

    and replaced it with all these new ideas

    and now his death roles around

    and because he was famous

    he has fans, people who look up to him

    and haters, people who frown upon him

    and these haters find that making jokes makes up for them not liking him

    so they are going to make jokes

    and if you like him

    just mourn. don't worry about what others are joking about.

    something big happened

    so they want a good laugh

    but yeah

    i agree.

    i mean i wasn't a fan.

    i actually didn't like him

    but then he died

    and i thought, "there is no point in disliking a dead man"

    no good will come from it

    no bad will either, but there is no point

    it won't do anything at all

    and i feel bad for the people who love him

    As much as I question the notion of MJ being 'a terrific performer, singer, songwriter' (good in those respects - not great IMHO), I cannot condone the sick behaviour of some people online tonight.

    Yes the guy was odd and had been accused of awful crimes, but the way some people are posting tonight is just sick.

    I don't particularly wish to honor MJ, but the body is hardly cold!

    Come on guys - at least give it a few days!

    He was a sick and twisted man who sexually abused and/or indecently assaulted children. A person like that should not have been let near children much less be allowed to have any!!!

    He was not found innocent either. He was acquitted, big difference.

    Oh and was OJ Simpson innocent???

    "A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet."

    A child molester by any other name is still a f**king child molester who rapes children, takes away innocence and shatters lives.

    Do you thing any of those children are watching the TV, sad about Michael Jackson and wishing him to rest in peace?

    No they are sitting alone wondering if they can every be close to another human, they are wondering why the don't want to play with toys anymore, they are wondering why other kids seem to be so happy all the time, they are wondering why the world has turned against them and embraced a monster and they are thinking can they ever sleep in their beds again without seeing the horrible memories play over and overand over again. But most of all they are wondering if they can ever sleep with the lights out.......

    I've worked with hundreds of people who after 10, 20, 30 even 40 years later are still asking these questions. And countless others who never face their abusers because they know that offender would never be brought to answer because the molester had friends in the community. People like you!!! You sicken me

    Karen...this is Yahoo! Answers. This is one site where you'll get the scuzz coming out of the woodwork! Mostly it'll come from the usual places - US and the UK. Dead people are easy to diss

  • I agree. And people wonder why the world is so fuked up. If you hate him, theres absoultly NO reason to make jokes of dead people. its creul and disgusting

    I don't know, but I wish it'd stop. People can be so vicious and rude when it comes to the stars sometimes, like they're not even human.

    It beggars belief at how nasty certain people are, but karma will get them for certain. I am so sad that Michael has gone, he was an icon and legend, he will be missed greatly by his fans. R.I.P. Michael.

    I did it for teh lulz.

    Let's face facts, an average bloke that spends so much time with kids would of been hated and abused a long time ago, but michael Jackson is michael Jackson so obviously it's different, right? Wrong.

    I'm doing it to anger bawwwwwing fanboys like you. Worshipping a peadophile. Because if he was anyone else that's what he would be in even your eyes, even if found not guilty you'd still have doubts.

    Hypocrite failfags deserve to have their noses rubbed in it.
