I like many of you have been following the news coverage of the defining issue of this decade; that’s right I am talking about the aftermath of Michael Jackson’s death. Last week Omar Richardson wrote on his blog that we need to let Michael Jackson rest in peace. I agree Richardson 100% and the best way to let Jackson rest in peace is to talk about him until no one wants to hear about him ever again. So, far we have had adequate coverage of Jackson, but an international conspiracy is working to infiltrate our news and distract us from the importance of the finalization of Jackson’s estate. In an attempt to take coverage away from Jackson current Honduran president Roberto Micheletti took part in a military coup ousting former president Manuel Zelelya from office and exiling him out of the country. These actions enabled him to knock Jackson down to only two of the top four stories on Yahoo News, but he wasn’t satisfied with that in his insatiable desire to take attention away from the King of Pop Micheletti then shut down all of the airports preventing Zelelya from reentering the country knowing that it would instigate conflict with the U.N. and take more media coverage away from Never Never Land. Micheletti isn’t the only culprit in this insidious plot. Out of desperation to knock Jackson out of the news North Korean president Kim Jong Ill began performing unauthorized nuclear tests to incite tension in the U.N. hoping that this would steal media coverage away from the King of Pop. When actions failed to distract the media enough to prevent coverage of Jackson’s medicine cabinet he began firing missiles into the Sea of Japan. President Ill if you are reading this; I know what you are trying to do and you are wasting your time, because in the Land of the Free if you aren’t: a movie star, singer, TV personality, athlete or have eight kids we don’t care what you do. The biggest conspirator involved in this vile scheme is Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who ordered the arrest of several British ambassadors; claiming that they were involved in inciting riots following the re-election of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. At first that may appear to be an honest mistake. However when you consider that Jackson bought the rights to many of the Beatles songs you can see that this is a direct attempt to distract Jackson’s biggest supporters from the news coverage of his own death; who would be more concerned about the British than the fans of the man who bought their music. Not only were his actions an attempt to thwart our much needed coverage of Jackson’s funeral arrangements but, he almost prevented us from hearing about the retirement of Casey Kasem. Khamenei, read my lips the American spirit and the American will to only pay attention to American pop culture is much stronger than your little political moves. This American only spirit dates all the way back to 1823 when former U.S. president James Monroe issued the Monroe Doctrine telling other nations to stay out of our affairs because, we don’t care about yours.

I know exactly what you mean. When I was in Beirut, people showed me remains of the 2006 war such as bombing sites and oil spills that have destroyed the land. I trumped their "war stories" with longer stories about nailpolish and the Jonas brothers' promise rings. You're welcome Beirut.
ReplyDeleteBrian- I'm surprised you would parody news coverage of a sad, sick, isolated, self-mutilating pedophile. What could be more American than looking at such a person as our hero?
ReplyDeleteHo boy, story comments getting deep around here, better change from my flip-flops to boots, brb.
ReplyDeleteYou are a very good writer, that is the first thing I noticed. Second your views about the news and MJ are very strong but subtle and funny but "not funny" all at the same time. I have issues with the media and the government and their secrets.
