Popped off

The king of pop has popped off. And in doing so, he has, albeit unwittingly, become a text-book example of the exquisitely loony priorities of our age.

The paper and paperless media world-wide dished out article after article on how... people responded to Michael Jackson's death, not really about his death at all. About how Madonna could not stop crying, about how x wailed his heart out, about how y drank his wallet out,... but little about Michael Jackson himself, the iconic weirdo of our times.

Sometimes, the media is the mirror of a society's soul.
