I figured by taking a vacation out of the country I could avoid all this MJ talk. Not in the Bajamas. Eff you Michael Jackson and your Atlantis Bridge condo that rents out for $25000 a night.

I think this sums it up best, and really should be the last words on the subject. From ESPN's Bill Simmons:

He had been spending the past few months planning a massive comeback, when dying was the best possible comeback.

What does disrespecting the dead do? Is dying a trump card for criticism and ridicule? At most is diminishes a memory or a testament to character. Which had been done for the last 15 years. And that's the price of fame. Is the money worth it? Probably not in his case because he turned into such a freak show.

I agree about mj, my only problem I with this and the post above, mainly because it was exactly the opposite with many on this board after Doc died

I take it that none of you guys ever had Three-Finger Donaldson for Geography. The Bahamas was a British possession up until the 1960's. Today, it is an independent country.

Yep. The Bahamas celebrated their 36th year of independence on the 10th.
