I wasn't going to write about Michael Jackson's untimely death, however the amount of coverage it is receiving has forced my hand making it almost mandatory to respond.

From his days in the Jackson Five to his solo career Michael Jackson was known for his slick dance moves and upbeat pop lyrics. He was at the top of his game with the release of his album "Thriller" which revolutionized the music industry and turned music videos into a new artform.

Elizabeth Tailor dubbed him "The King of PoP", but the "pop" sooned to personal problems in the early 1990's and into the new millenium.

The media and tabloids, one time friends of Jackson, soon turned into his arch enemy with the coverage of the accusations against him.

2009 brought news of a Michael Jackson comeback and with the news of sold out shows for millions of fans, it seemed that a comeback was indeed inevitable but it was not to be.

Michael Jackson died in his home on Thursday, he did not live to see the day that the media and tabloids would become his friends again. Their coverage of this tragedy has been non-stop 24 hours per day not only solidifying Michael's status of "The King of Pop" but the most celebrated sexual predator in history as well.

Goodbye Michael, I'm sure you are smiling down at us from the giant bag of candy in the sky.
