Poll: Whose death did you take harder?

[DarkRyter]

I taught myself the moonwalk after Jackson's death, so that had at least some effect on me.

BILLY MAYS ISN'T HERE

*sobs*

 

[Snidenightshade]

Since I was born in 91 I did not have a single good memory of Michael Jackson.

same with me, i wasn't surprised about Micheal death

 

[The_Echo]

Billy Mays.

 

[Delicious]

It's hard for me to care about people who I've never met, but I'll take a live Carlin over a live MJ any day.

Who the hell picked Michael Jackson over George Carlin

Edited for minimized troll.
But I must agree with this statement. Most people celebrated George Carlin when he was still alive. A month ago, we (the media, everybody) would still be calling MJ "Wacko Jacko". Now it seems like they want to get him canonized. If everyone loves him so much now, why did nobody appreciate him when he was alive?

Can I pick Billy Mays?

This. Billy Mays was pure awesome, and he left too soon.

yes, he was made of win

 

[j0z]

I voted MJ because I have never heard of George Carlin
But I didn't mourn his passing either. I was sadder when Billy Mays died

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Michael Jackson, I haven't seen much of George Carlin to be honest.

The man was simply a legend. How many people can you say have been active and had hits in each decade since they started their career? The man set crowds ablaze with his singing and dancing (granted, he sort of stole the moonwalk from Billy Ocean and James Brown) and everybody on this earth knew who he was.

Can I pick Billy Mays?

This. Seriously, as great a comedian as he was Carlin's death didn't get to me, and Michael Jackson was essentially dead after the child molestation allegations (in this nation, we don't take to pedophilia lightly). Billy's, on the other hand, was the loss of a great man. If heaven exists, Billy, get god to strike down the Shamwow guy or something like that.

George Carlin-the man was a prophet and a genius.

R.I.P. Billy

I agree...never knew the other ones well. My commercials in video class were based on him

 

[Glerken]

if i may ask... who is George Carlin ?...

A stand up comedian who made many good points. But to me, he was always RUFUS! *air guitars*

Been on two nights in a row in my house! *air guitars*

OT, Michael purely because I actually knew who he was before his death.

Bill and Ted fans. Excellent!
The Circle K they shot it at is 15 minutes from my house.

 

[NoNameMcgee]

Never heard of George Carlin; on the other hand I loved MJ mostly as a person but also as an amazing performer.

 

[NotAPie]

I cared alot more about Michael Jackson.
However if you put Billy Mays you have no idea how fast I would have voted.
You basterd.
