This Weeks Top 10 'WTF' Moments

Well, this isn't actually recent by any stretch of the mind as I'm going to be using Michael Jackson in todays segment titled 'This Weeks Top 10 'WTF' Moments.'

10 - 1982: "The White Sequin Glove" - I still hate that damn glove just as much as I hated its icon status in the early 90's. It still doesn't make sense to me of how that silly thing became so popular while I thought it was the oddest damn thing I ever saw.

9 - 1984: "The Roof, The Roof, The Roof Is On Fire" - While on tour in 1984 after being brought on as the spokesman for Pepsi (bad move, Pepsi, bad move), Jackson was burned while on tour to promote The Jacksons' album. He suffered third degree burns.

8 - 1986: "Hyperbaric Chamber, Bleached Skin, And The Elephant Man" - Around this time tabloids started running stories that Jackson slept in a hyperbaric chamber, bleached his skin, and bought the bones of the Elephant Man John Merrick. And to be honest, I actually believe the tabloids this time.

7 - 1987: "The Release Of 'Bad,' And A New White Jackson" - In 1987 riding the high wave of success, Jackson decided to release his new look and album. A new whiter Jackson hit the tabloids with the release of his album "Bad" forever changing his face with plastic surgery.

6 - 1988: "Daddy Doesn't Love Me, No One Cares" - It was this year that Jackson released his autobiography disclosing his father and the abusive relationship between them. I really do think this was the dawn of "emo."

5 - 1991: "After Sleeping In The Hyperbaric Chamber, 'Black Or White' Hits" - After taking a hiatus from the music business after the release of "Bad" in 1988, Jackson returns with the release of an 11 minute controversial video for "Black or White." The source of seven more painful hit singles we had to listen to on the radio.

4 - 1993: "I Did Not Have Sexual Relations With That Wom...Err, Boy" - Yep, this was the first year that Jackson was accused of molesting a child that was staying with him at his Neverland Ranch. He would go on satellite and proclaim his innocence and just to top it off...settle out of court.

3 - 1994: "Uhhuh, You Know You Want Me Baby" - As if to give one last jab to society, Michael marries Lisa Marie Presley the daughter of the late Elvis Presley. Thank you, Michael, you proved to me that there isn't a God.

2 - 2002: "A Boy Named 'Blanket'" - It was this year that Michael decided to dangle Prince Michael II over his balcony while the awe-struck public looked on. Later to become the boy named 'blanket', I'm sure Prince Michael is forever scarred by this event. Nice going, Jackson, now everyone thinks you're fucked in the head.

1 - 2009: "The Comeback Trail, And Inevitable Fail" - Appearing at London's 02 arena Michael proclaimed that he was coming back this year. I'm not sure as I wasn't there but I think there was a sigh of "oh my God, not again" that went over the crowd. Four months after his announcement he was rushed to Ronald Reagon UCLA Medical Center and pronounced dead of cardiac arrest. Allegations of drug use sparked the DEA investigating as many as 30 different doctors in relation to this case. Which is why I promote illicit substances, no one can find the people that provide these services.

Kind of funny how this list degrades by year, at least I think so anyway. Well, there is my list of the top 10 'WTF' moments from the 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson.

Kings Of Leon = Pigeon Shit?

This is so good, really, this is the type of stuff that only happens in poorly written comedy movies.

The Kings of Leon were forced to abandon their gig in St. Louis, Missouri on Friday due to impeccable aim from pigeons. Apparently the Verizon Ampihitheatre was crawling with pigeons that knew terrible music, the entire show was washed because of the targeting skills of these "flying rats."

Previous to the Kings of Leon coming on stage these brave birds took on The Postelles and The Stills on the same night, in the same venue! I think we should award these birds with some kind of medal or something, this was truly a brave thing to do risking their life for this kind of attack on an otherwise terrible band like the Kings of Leon.

You can check out the original story found here at NME.

Lindsay Lohan Is In Jail!!

Fantastic news! Lindsay Lohan is serving her time in Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California according to numerous reports. According to the National Ledger she is having a rather difficult time adapting to her surroundings in the detention facility, other inmates are calling her 'fire crotch' a term used by oil heir Brandon Davis for her natural hair color (he's another rich prick that probably won't ever see reality).

Recently she has been visited by her mom Dina Lohan, sister Ali, and manager Lou Taylor. On top of those visitors she also recieved a visit from Samantha Ronson (ex-girlfriend/publicity stunt)! As Samantha was leaving she was asked by a reporter "how do you think she is doing?" Which Samantha snapped back with "how do you think she is doing?!"

Have to love a day like this, pop is dismantling itself at the seams. Death to pop is taking on an entirely different definition today, we can smile, be happy...pop music must die, and we must handle the reigns of this downfall.

And I'm absolutely loving Hellyeah's new album 'Stampede!' If you are looking for a good album you have to check this one out!

I Wonder If Justin Bieber Dies?!

Apparently Justin Bieber just wrapped up shooting an episode for the season premiere of CSI. He is supposed to be portraying a troubled teen so he was wearing an orange jump suit (prediction of his future maybe?). According to the Us News report Justin said "[it was an] amazing day" (apparently English isn't really necessary if you just sing noises).

I honestly have to say...I really hope that the character he is playing in the show eventually will be him when the drugs, alcohol, and sex hits in his pop life. I know, I know...I'm cruel, but history as the lesson, it is inevitable and I honestly can't wait to see it.

On a completly unrelated note I finally got my hands on Hellyeah's new album Stampede! And it is fucking awesome! Good to see people like Chad Gray and Greg Tribbett are still pulling for the death of pop!

Enrique Iglesias? Didn't He Die?

Enrique Iglesias is back for some reason. Releasing his recent album ‘Euphoria’ earlier this month, and apparently he is going to go do some nude water skiing here soon *PUBLICITY STUNT*. It really is sickening if you think about it, just released his new album and then goes on CBS announcing that he ‘bet’ his ‘friend’ that if Spain won the World Cup he would go water skiing nude. Fucking right!?

I mean, as I displayed before…pop musicians don’t pull these kinds of stunts for publicity, do they? So of course this is a simple bet from a friend. My only question is what kind of bet is that? I mean really, how many of you have put your friends on the spot saying “if the Patriots win the Super Bowl you have to go nude water skiing!” Right…exactly. This entire thing screams publicity stunt to me.

Pop music is becoming sickening these days, if we don’t try to kill pop music now there is no telling what affect these kinds of mindless stunts are going to have on children!

Death to pop! Pop music must die! These are chants we should be hearing through the streets!

Runner Runner...What The...

A new pop rock quintet has hit into the news, Runner Runner...apparently a name they pulled off a board when trying to figure out a new name for their *squee* BOY BAND! For fuck sake, so they decided on 'Runner Runner' due to the poker game Texas Hold 'em..."against all odds" or some shit. So this new up-and-coming boy band used to rock out to punk music, one of them even rides motorcycles (he's the bad boy of the band I bet).

We are losing the battle against pop music, people! How can we allow such injustice upon our music business as letting a new boy band come onto the scene and mix pop with rock calling themselves 'pop rock?!' How?!

Mix with cola and we may have the death of pop, who knows, or they would pull some childish stunt and run around like manic, crazed people.

Death to pop, always here...trying to kill pop.

10 Reasons That Pop Should Die

Here's the 10 reasons that pop should die list:

10 - Pop Music Doesn't Care About You.

This is true in the recent case of Justin Bieber, who was voted to go to North Korea by his...err, well, fans. Is he going? No, he doesn't care about his...err, uhm, fans.

9 - Too Much Pop Music Will Make You Go Bald.

Britney Spears.

8 - Pop Music Causes Cancer.

Go ahead and prove me wrong! Do it!

7 - Pop Music Causes An Inflated Ego.

So much so that you may think years after you were famous you can come back and do it again...Backstreet Boys...

6 - Pop Music Is Degrading The Education System.

Now everyone is listening to Bieber or Backstreet Boys and not paying attention to their teacher! We can't have that!

5 - Pop Music Won't Be Missed.

It is expendable, we have plenty of other far better genres in music we can hear. Pop music won't even be a blimp on a radar if it goes under.

4 - There Is No Such Thing As Good Pop Music.

Terrible, isn't it? But it is true, there is simply no such thing as good pop music, it is all about the same...only difference is the "bad boy" in the band.

3 - Pop Music Leads To Drug Abuse.

Britney Spears.

2 - Pop Music Is The Reason Stupidity Exists.

It is, really. If we didn't have pop music people wouldn't be saying "like" between every Goddamn word!

1 - Pop Music Is Predicted To End The World.

With its condescending attitude problem, piss poor 'idols' leading children to drug abuse and cancer, and Justin Bieber lighting ants on fire with a magnifying glass.

And there you have it, 10 reasons that pop should die. Brought to you by Death To Pop.
