Quick quiz: The people in these photos are smiling because they got tickets to…
a) A $40 million lottery
b) A dinner with President Barack Obama
c) A private audience with the pope
d) A memorial service
Yeah, surprisingly, it’s the memorial service thing.
I guess this finally explains that old expression, “as happy as a guy going to a memorial service.”

What a bunch of sick puppies … mourning a pervert is pretty dog gone low
Who really cares? I am sadder to hear Fawcet has been over shadowed by this pinochio wanna be.I like MJ’s music pre Pepsi incident, but do I really care that he is going to be paraded around town? It has dominated the news networks and I am sick of it.

I would like a ticket for Ed McMahon’s memorial service.
I am sure that there are piles of psychology books written about rejoicing from somebody’s death, or at least from somebody’s funeral… in any case, as wacko as the dead subject, if you ask me!
It’s funny that I haven’t seen how much he’s on the news. Becuase I DONT WATCH the stupid news. Get a life. Read turn off your tv and do something
Finally, the wacko pervert is in the ground *somewhere* in his $28k gold plated box.
I would prefer a ticket for the Richard Simmons/Paul Shaffer memorial service. At the very least, for the retirement party.
