On June 25th, 2009, Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest. Ever since this date, the "king of pop" has become revered by people all over the world. Because of his death, all derogatory or satirical references to Michael Jackson (based on his appearance or alleged child-sexual-abuse) have become tabooed (presumably) forever.

Don't believe? Here's proof:

The film Scary Movie 4, and its predecessor 3, have had parodies of Michael Jackson. In the 4th installation, there is a scene where, after the children around him are herded away, Jackson is melted by a death-ray from the invading aliens. On September 27th, Scary Movie 4 was playing on Comedy Central...and Michael Jackson's "death" was completely cut out.

Here's another one...

The Jeff Dunham skit entitled "Achmed the Dead Terrorist" has a portion where Achmed tries to tell jokes about Jews. When Jeff tells him not to, Achmed suggests killing them, which Jeff also disagrees to. Achmed then says that, rather than killing them, he would throw a coin between two Jews and "watch them fight to the death." This is then followed by Achmed saying that he did the same thing with two Catholic priests, except that he used a small-boy.

Before June 25th, there was a portion where, after saying the above about the two priests and the boy, Achmed says "...and the winner had to fight Michael Jackson." After June 25th, the joke simply ended at the small boy.

Now people will surely criticize these as being (among other things) cruel to the memory of Michael Jackson. However, isn't it unfair that Jesus Christ, who (obviously) is known for having a GREATER impact than Michael Jackson, is shown less respect? Honestly, some person takes the LORD's name in vain, (...usually with the suffix "damn" or "dammit" applied to the end of His name - but NOT limited to this only), and EVERYONE laughs and thinks its cute: but someone says something about Michael Jackson in jest and EVERYONE accuses the one who said such for being cruel and insensitive.

MICHAEL JACKSON DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE REVERED GREATER THAN JESUS CHRIST!!!
