Really, MSN? TMI if you ask me...

What I want to write about today is something I saw online a few minutes ago.

I got on www.msn.com (purely out of boredom) to look & see what all was going on in their world. One story I saw repulsed me:

"Autopsy: Jackson Wore a Wig"

This automatically struck me as being TMI, so I clicked on it to see just how far these people would go. Here are some of the lines they released from MJ's autopsy report... & I quote:

- Jackson had the skin pigmentation disorder vitiligo, with white patches particularly on his chest, abdomen, face and arms.

- The hair on Jackson's head was described initially by police as "sparse and connected to a wig." The autopsy revealed "frontal balding".

- A closed bottle of urine was found on a chair in the bedroom where the singer died, along with a box of catheters, disposable needles, alcohol pads, several empty orange juice bottles, a string of wooden beads and a green oxygen tank.

- Jackson's body was covered with small scars on his nose, knee, shoulder, neck, wrists, and behind both ears

- He had dark tattoos near both eyebrows and a small pink tattoo near his lips.

- His body weighed 136 pounds, was 69 inches long, and was described as "thin."

Really, MSN, did the American people NEED to know all of this? Is it our business? Was it necessary for you to put all of this out there? Was your site needing a few more hits? Have you no regard to the CHILDREN he left behind? Are people really this twisted?

I understand that finished autopsy reports are public records... but we wouldn't be reading about Mrs. Smith who lives down the road's tattoos & weight at death. Just because something is public doesn't mean it should be printed up or put on a website for everyone to see. How about that moral compass?

I think it is sick that there are people out there who are truly interested in this information. Does it make them feel better knowing that the "rich & famous" aren't so "proper & perfect?" Is this a big example of misery loving company?
This is why I refuse to buy crap magazines like the Enquirer & OK! Leave these people & their personal lives alone. Everyone has skeletons in their closet & last time I checked, no one was perfect & made the right decisions every time. Who are we to judge? How about we get a little more concerned with the real issues in the world instead of talking about MJ's autopsy, Tigers sex-addiction, Brad & Angelina's supposed break up, & Lindsey Lohan's latest antics. Let's get the news back in the news, people.

Quite honestly, I am tired of hearing about all of this. MJ had his own share of problems, but who doesn't? This isn't what he should be remembered as. He was a great artist & entertainer. Let's just leave it at that. Is it possible for his family & CHILDREN to grieve & try to put their lives back together without sites like this one & the grocery-line filth magazines putting stuff like this out there? Did we really need to know that he was balding & had tattoos around his lips? Is it any of our business? No it's not.

End of story.
