Sorry - It's Not Serious News

Within the last 15 minutes the news has been hijacked by the death of Michael Jackson. One of the reporters on NBC said that a "serious news story" was happening.

Sorry, but this is nothing in comparison to what is happening in Iran. Yes, Jackson was an amazing performer (although I never was a fan of his) and he has had a significant impact on world Pop culture but the lead 8 minutes of NBC Nightly News had more important things to talk about.

And no, it was not the next 3 1/2 minutes about Farrah Fawcett, either.
