Clearly, in a media feeding frenzy concerning the death of Michael Jackson, NBC News’s Michael Okwu alerted viewers to what surely shocked them all: Michael Jackson will only die once.

That’s right, lest anyone think that the dubbed King of Pop might parlay the tremendous outpouring of adoration for his checkered life, Okwu plainly sent that hope down in flames as he chilled wakes everywhere with that startling news. Of course, I’m certain that someone, somewhere will find a way to sell the idea of some sort of “final comeback,” but I wouldn’t recommend purchasing tickets for that final show.

Hopefully, the idiocy of actions following Jackson’s death will calm down soon, and we will know that other, more pressing events really do cloud the horizon.
