My readers do not get irony (ie: more hate mail)
Here is my Word for today:
Michael Jackson is trying for a comeback on the stage of London’s O2 arena. In front of thousands of fans (does Jackson even have fans anymore, or are they just gawkers?) it was announced on Thursday that the 50-year-old has planned 10 performances at the venue this July in hopes of netting the financially troubled star millions and maybe recapturing the hearts of those who have written him off as, well, a freak.Can you even imagine how awful those concerts, named “This Is It,” are going to be? Jackson doesn’t even have a nose anymore. (That isn’t a joke. He really doesn’t have a nose.)Can’t we just let these people who have been so scarred and damaged by the entertainment industry retire and live in peace?Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re getting ready for “Siegfried & Roy: The Magic Returns,” airing at 9 p.m. on Friday on ABC.
And here is the hatemail for your enjoyment:
Michael Jackson is the “King of Pop” whether you like it or not. Its a shame to see headlines like yours. Leave Michael alone already. He has to do what he has to do to continue living, just like you and me. He is and always will be #1. Do you realize how awful you sound by saying his concerts are going to be awful? This is a man who is so RIGHTFULLY titled, the “KING”. You better recognize this musical genious and the history he has made along with his charitable contributions to the world. Please don’t act like you never enjoyed
Michael’s music.
Siegried and Roy? Oh please! Didn’t they get enough the first time around? They may be back and hungry to perform again, but those tigers are back too and even hungrier than the dumb duo.
At age 50, along with his operations, he looks better than you do! Now that’s sad!
