I can’t believe how sad I am that Michael Jackson has fake died. I mean, when I first saw it on Twitter I knew instantly that it’s probably the most brilliant social media campaign ever created, and by Michael Jackson’s PR team (!) who took advantage of Twitter trending (!!) to create a media event (!!!) that would instantly grasp everyone’s attention and, when they announced that surprise! (!V) He’s actually alive and not dead and still going on his last and most bad-ass tour evar where he would reveal the greatest dance move since that gem called the moonwalk — everyone would be jumping on the bandwagon to buy those tickets for a 300% markup or even more.
That being said, Michael, if you really are dead, I want to share the above music video for Smooth Criminal with everyone I cross paths with. I wish I could wear a little youtube TV around my neck that would play this video on repeat. Your athleticism and performance ability are unparalleled, Michael! You are inspiring to anyone who wants to be creative. And to anyone who wants to go where crotch-grabbing had never gone before the ’80s (namely, into the mainstream media).
We love you Michael. Please only be fake dead, so we can quickly forget that we, too, will pass, just like our favorite only-slightly-messed-up pop legends.
