Sigh – Pop culture has a bad day.

Ok, I wasn’t going to do it – I hate blogging on “pop” topics and in fact except for a few deaths – almost never have. However, Farah Fawcett passing away (yes, I tried DESPERATELY to have her hair do) – which was sad because of her valiant fight against cancer and a pretty interesting career.

Michael Jackson – sigh. Sad. I think I agree with several commentaries that say he’s almost like Elvis in his “early” career verses his later craziness, plastic surgery, and personal issues. I like his music – always have. I liked him as a child star and watched as the music got better and better. Anyway, it’s sad to see what popularity does to some people and I think he’s a good example. It’s almost like he was fighting a disease like Farah in the end.

So, as a tribute and because they were a source of giggles in a news day that was more than a bit depressing here are some funny spoofs of thriller – the first straight from Bollywood and the second a prison yard version from the Phillipines! Enjoy!
