Poll: Michael Jackson's Memorial. Did you watch it?

[Meado]

No, I have a sense of perspective.

No. I thought the man was off his rocker when he was alive, but never held that against him.

The least his family could have done was bury him with some quiet dignity and not parade him like a fucking animal before laying him to rest.

I was in bed at 3am when they were broadcasting it here, not that I'm missing out on much. Foxtel kiosks in shopping centres were playing it, stores are going batshit crazy with his songs. If it were someone I cared deeply about then maybe I would, but as I didn't care that deeply for Michael Jackson picked sleep. Don't get me wrong, I have the greatest respect for him, but I'm not going to lose sleep (literally) to watch his memorial.

I was at the dentist office and that was playing in every room.

There's a lot of insensitive statements being said in this thread. Some really ignorant. The passing of MJ and his memorial was the sending off of a great humanitarian. Regardless of what other personal traits are in jeopardy, people should be aware that we lost of one the world's greatest humanitarians.

Everyone is entitled to their honest opinion. And while I respect yours please do not condemn others for theirs.

Am I the only one who thinks its despicable to broadcast what should be a private, family matter? Not to mention turning the thing into a concert. If artists want to pay a tribute to Jackson, they should have done an album together with the proceeds going to charity or his children. But this is just shameless. So no, I didn't watch it.

There is a way to respectfully state a disapproving opinionated statement, and then there are statements with blatant disrespect in this post. I'm condemning the statements with minimal effort and thought placed behind them, and bringing attention to the fact that there are actual facts and statistics to MJ's humanitarian acts. A lot of them actually.

I don't really care if they are humanitarian or not, that does not mean they deserve respect simply because they have passed on. I didn't have enough respect for the man to get up at 3am in the morning to watch be paraded around a city in his coffin simply because he was a great artist and humanitarian. I had respect and appreciation for his music and the things he did for sick children but as a man I lost a lot of respect for him. I'm not about to hand it to him simply because he is laying in his coffin. You earn respect, even when your dead, you don't get it handed to you regardless of the situation. It is sad what happened to Michael Jackson, but to condemn others simply because they are being honest with themselves is just frustrating. Call it cold, but that's how I feel. You don't like it? That's okay, you don't have to but don't condemn me for it simply because it's not how you feel.

Nope, was playing Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires if I recall and was actually concerned it might run over the show I wanted to watch that was worth my time. Hell my mom had it on briefly later in the night and my response was, "Why are you watching that crap?"

I know, I am an evil person.
