The Reverend Jesse Jackson offers a message of hope and inspiration and incoherence

July 2, 2009, 8:00 am · 5 comments

Don’t ask us to explain this video.

As far as we can tell, some guy named Raffle van Exel grabbed Jesse Jackson as he was walking through an airport and asked him to offer up an inspirational message for Michael Jackson’s fans.

Reverend Jackson, of course, has never met a microphone he didn’t like, so he started jabbering away.

We just have three questions about the Reverend’s comments:

Question #1: What’s this “dignity” he attributes to Michael Jackson? The guy’s date at the Grammy Awards was a chimpanzee named Bubbles.

Question #2: When did “decency” become an acronym for child molester?

Question #3: Is it our imagination or is Jesse’s speech pattern starting to sound like he’s reading Dr. Seuss?

You heard correclty. I just checked. Here’s an article on it:

http://www.spike.com/blog/michael-jackson-fans/83008

According to Michael Jackson’s largest online fan club, MJ fanatics have been recently committing suicide because of the pop star’s tragic death.

The Sun is reporting that up to 12 die-hard Jackson followers have taken their own lives since his passing on Thursday.

Gary Taylor, who runs MJJcommunity.com, recently said, “I know there has been an increase, I now believe the figure is 12. I believe there may have been one Briton who has taken their life. It is a serious situation that these people are going through but Michael Jackson would never want this. He would want them to live.”

This crazy news came to light when it was revealed that a Jackson lookalike in Russia cut his wrists after Michael’s death was announced last week. The fan, Pável Talaláyev, was found bleeding heavily at his home in Moscow just hours after it was announced that Jackson had died. Luckily for him, an ambulance crew found him in time and managed to save his life. Apparently others have not been so fortunate.

The most insane aspect of this story has to be the conversation that took place in the ambulance after the paramedics had saved Talaláyev from death.

One of the paramedics stated, “He was in a terrible state and kept on saying: ‘It’s all the same to me. I’m going to kill myself. It’s the worst tragedy of my life and I don’t want to live any more. I don’t know why you saved my life, I want to be with him’.”

Pável is supposedly Russia’s most famous Jacko lookalike and apparently modeled himself after MJ from the age of nine.

Hot damn.

is it wrong to say…that this line in this article is not really true?

Luckily for him, an ambulance crew found him in time and managed to save his life.

Thanks for the reminder of the old Conway and Steckler radio show. Every Thursday night they had the special feature, “What the Hell did Jesse Jackson Say”. I was pretty good at it, and one time I was on hold to play on the air, but the show ended before I had my chance at fame and stardom. Anyway, they played clips of JJ speaking at various functions and if you could interpret the garbled mess you won fabulous prizes – like bits of string and Carl’s Junior coupons that had expired. I guess some of us who were pretty good at the game should get together and play one more time for old-times sake. Then we will share the wisdom that is Jesse Jackson with the rest of you. That should bring comfort to all of the grieving MJ fans here at IHateTheMedia.com – might even prevent a suicide or two.
