Death is a funny thing.

Funny strange, not funny ha ha, of course.
I hope I've waited long enough to not be completely insensitive with this post, too.

Isn't it amazing how people's opinion of a person can change on a dime when that person dies? I mean, may I politely suggest that if you had asked the average person on the street what they thought of Michael Jackson, you would have gotten a very different answer on June 20th than you would have gotten on June 30th? Literally overnight, Michael went from being "Whacko Jacko" to being "The King of Pop" again.

That's... odd. And frankly, kind of sad. Instead of being cruel to the living and idolizing the dead, would it really be that hard to try to see people as people?
Then again, it's easy to idolize the dead. They don't do anything to piss you off anymore.
