BREAKING NEWS!!!

An imam at the Mosque in this city is visiting from CA and he said that the Jackson family approached the Islamic association in LA to prepare an islamic burial for Michael Jackson after the autopsies are done!!

I really hope that this is true for Michael's sake. I don't know if the any of the allegations are true or not, but if he did convert then God will wipe away all his sins he commited before converting, excluding any major ones. But if he truely repented for anything he did then hopefully God will forgive him.

What if he repented as a Christian? Going straight to hell then eh?

God will take into account the good deeds he did, and hopefully the allegations against him aren't true. But the surest way for anyone to go to heaven is to be a good muslim.

That's hilarious since Michael never converted. Jermaine did, but not Michael. He DID use bodyguards who were part of the Nation of Islam though.

As I said, it is ultimately up to God to decide. But I think the surest way to go to heaven is to be a good muslim. There are verses in the Quran that say that Christians, Jews and people who believe in one God, the last day and do good deeds will be rewarded. And there are verses that say that people should die good muslims in order to be guaranteed to heaven. So, I think it is up to God in the end, because He is the ultimate judge.

I really don't want to derail the thread so I will stop here.

The surest way is to not be a douchebag and that has nothing to do with being Muslim. And that is even if there is a heaven.

I wonder if Michael can get to the 1 billion mark by 2050. It means he would have to sell 63 million albums a decade... I don't see it happening this soon though.

Also, I have never heard of Bing Crosby before, and judging by the sales it seem that I am the only one.

Third hour: Some "psychic" who claims he can channel Michael.
Fourth hour: Open lines to make fun of the guy channeling MJ.

His records are selling out all over the world, he left 200 unreleased tracks to his children, and Sony will most likely continue to put out compilations. It's perfectly possible.

Actually, he'd only have to sell about 6 million per year over the next 41 years to get to 1 billion, not 63 million.

That's much more doable, especially considering this year should see a huge spike in sales.

6 million x 41 +750 million = 996 million
63 million x 4 decades + 750 million= 1.002 billion

I didn't count this year in my calculations.

But if you want to get more technical and count the sales from this year, it will probably be something like this:

4-5 million this year because he just died + 750 million + 61 million x 4 decades= 998-999 million

So, he would actually have to sell 6.1 million albums a year (after this year)

Ah, I misread "decade" in your post as "year", which really made your post come off as having some bizarre maths. I think he'll make it to 1 billion, though, especially with a huge spike this year and over the next few years as some unreleased stuff comes out.

I watched about 30 or so minutes of those BET awards, because I'd read there were gonna be some musical tributes to Jackson and I figured I'd get a few laughs out of it, but I'm not kidding when I say that those were 30 excruciating minutes. It's not an exaggeration when I tell you that was one of the worst things I have ever viewed on television. Not a single person on that stage sang worth a fuck, out of tune and just wretched, wretched.

Joe Jackson was in the audience wearing a baseball cap and standing beside Al Sharpton, clapping along to a Bel Biv Devoe performance. I don't think I've ever wished for a pseudo-celebrity-parasite double death, but I did when I saw that - a light structure from the ceiling, a crazy Michael Jackson fan with a pistol and poor aim on the first shot, anything. Surreal.

Collected jokes so far:
His family have told Sky News that they haven’t seem him this stiff since he watched Peter Pan.

Undertakers have announced that Michael Jackson will be cremated and the plastic will be recycled into toys so that kids can play with him for a change

what a coincidence, farrah fawcett and michael jackson dying on the same day. one played with majors and the other played with minors

MJ left it in his will that in spirit of recycling and healing the world he asked to be melted down and turned into plastic party cups, so kids can still get their lips around his rim.

Was there a flyer handed out to the BET presenters admonishing them to mention and honor Joe Jackson more than Michael?

Ya know, the guy who by all accounts absolutely gutted with beatings, accusations, and taunts what was probably a rather isolated and sensitive young kid.

Surreal is a good way of putting it. When Maya Angelou passes are we going to pay tribute to her rapist for infusing her "voice" with a unique experience from which to draw?
