BLOG: When idolizing someone goes too far
03.07.2009
Tero Tolkki from Metal From Finland has written a blogentry and couple of excerpts can be read below:
"What has been the nro 1 topic in every media during the past week or so? Michael Jackson and is unfortunate passing of course. The amount of news in different medias have been something beyond understanding. On the day of his death many websites crashed cause people all over the world tried to find information, Twitter crashed, Google thought they were under attack from the amount of queries their search-engines received all of a sudden. From the impact point-of-view one might think that the world simply went mad cause of this.
When services like Twitter crash or Google consider they are under attack, we can only make one conclusion: Michael Jackson was a very significant person to this world. I mean these things doesn't happen just cause few thousand people all of a sudden decide to start finding information about the same person..."

Very interesting isn't it. First he media is on the bandwagon that Michael Jackson is a bad person. And making him feel a million times worse when labelling him 'Wacko Jacko' and now that he's dead he has all of this respect all of a sudden.
There's also very sad similarities to Elvis when Elvis was coming down from the peak in his career and eventually passing away. Now Elvis is somewhat worshipped after death like Michael Jackson is now.

Yes, but that doesn't stop the media from using rampant speculation, needless updates, and downright douchebaggery. Since when did CNN become TMZ?
