Another was a beauty queen - turned poster girl - turned actress who inspired millions in the end with her courage and tenacity against a vicious disease that eventually claimed her.

And oddly enough - the third was an alleged pedophile with bizarre tendencies who died leaving behind three kids and a massive debt. Yet his death and 'accomplishments' receives the VAST majority of news coverage.


WHAT A FUCKED UP WORLD WE LIVE IN!
It's not that complicated. The news is part of the entertainment business, and as an entertainer, MJ was the most talented of the 3 by oceans. My friend Raul died last week too in a motorcycle accident. He was talented too but not famous. May they all rest in peace.
