Farrah Fawcett Dies :(

The difference is that 13 year old boys whacked off to Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson whacked off 13 year old boys. That's why the MJ thread has more posts
i would say so.. unless something else unexpected happens..
i think that this is also the reason that farrah's passing isn't recieving as much attention as michael's. farrah had been on a very slow path to her death. we knew it was coming and its been discussed here and there.. while michael's passing was a complete (somewhat) shock to everyone
i bet her family probably likes having her pass the same day as jackson because it takes some of the press off the family so the family can grieve privatly
RIP Farrah. You were a beautiful woman.

It's kind of funny to read the comments from people complaining of Michael Jackson's death eclipsing the news of Farrah's when the same can be said of Farrah's death eclipsing that of Ed McMahon's. It's the same thing, the bigger star is commanding the headlines.
It also doesn't help that Farrah's death was kind of expected while Michael's came out of nowhere.

Good point.
I think also Farrah's been sick and so it's kinda expected.
MJ's is sort of a surprise.
Would've been nice to have "Charlie's Angels" featured on the iTunes homepage, like MJ is...

"give a dawg a bone"
Woof, Woof - Dawg
You two should totally do a road show.
The same thought crossed my mind. A newspaper article I read earlier today referred to how the journalists covering Farrah's death responded "like meercats" when they learned of Michael Jackson's.
Cheers
I say good for her... let her rest in peace
Leave the circus for the freaks

Absolutely; I agree with you. Both are sad - in that any human death is sad, but Farrah lived with honour and died with dignity whereas MJ's life and death both run the risk of being transformed into a freak show.
Cheers and good luck
Run the risk?
Alright, are already a freak show. Touche, point taken, but I prefer understatement to the hyperbole we have seen far too much of in the coverage of MJ's life and death.
Cheers
WGN network is playing a Charlie's Angels marathon it appears. Strangely, I'm watching some episodes. Fairly terrible show but perhaps most were back then. Proof that I only watched this show growing up for the chicks.
