i don't find them funny. I think they hurt MJ's feeling.

david letterman is old. and just NOT funny and those lame jokes are just mean...

graecophilos said:

poor m.j...

maybe bad karma?

yeah how can one be so cruel and mean?

I used to defend MJ, but he has constantly shown that he is who he is. I used to feel sorry, and to a point i do, but more for the "neglected" lost child that he is. I dont feel sorry for things brought on by himself, nor do i Britney and any other star that does things that put themselves into this web that they cannot get out of. The most disturbing thing was this past week showing MJ at a UFC event, he was in a wheelchair and mask, now if he is ill and REQUIRED a wheel chair that is one thing, but sitting in a wheelchair when you dont need to be in one is a shot at all the people that sit in one EVERYDAY and wished that they could get out.

he would argument that he just tries to camouflage, and he usually doesn't need a wheelchair, u see? stupid point anyway.

but the lists are from the 90s and I find them petty insulting.

graecophilos said:

Sorry its not stupid. If you need the thing, than be in it, dont use it as a "rouge" for your media games, thats what im talking about. Its not some stupid fake religious thing which has no meaning in reality, its a wheelchair.

Did he stop doing lists in the 00s?

I think they're hilarious. Thanks, C.

Finally someone with a sense of humor.

I'm an MJ fan too but apparently NOT like the folks here.

A lot of them are REALLY funny and I am a massive MJ fan.

the constant Tito jokes are the funniest. And the beer and wrestling ones- oh man, so imagine Mj doing that!

Some of y'all need to lighten up.

Cinnie said:

i thought they were rather funny. well, most of 'em.

come on, if you act like an eccentric you can't get made when people make you the butt of the joke. for instance, i chose to have multi colored hair as a teen. when people made fun of me, i expected it. i was the one choosing to be different so i was the one who had to deal with society.

fer real, though. mike is a weird cat.

I'm soo sorry, I'm not a big Letterman fan, and I love MJ, but some of these are friggin hilarious!!

I mean this kinda stuff just comes with being famous
If he had a Prince top 10 list (and it was funny) I'd probably laugh at that too
