Michael Jackson died after being rushed to the UCLA Medical Center earlier today where he was reported as not breathing.

A call was placed to the Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics who performed CPR on Jackson and took him to the hospital.

“The circumstances of Jackson’s death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m. local time, Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times.” – Associated Press

Rest in peace MJ. And know that your video for “Thriller” still scares the bejesus out of Angela.

After the jump, read Ivan’s thoughts on Facebook as a source of news…

I’m not going to write about Jackson or Fawcett. They passed away already and now we just move on. I’m not exactly sure how they both died. I’m also not sure where you all learned of this devastating news. If you found out about these deaths from Buntology.com then that’s great! We are doing our job correctly! If not, I’m sure there were some of you who saw it on Facebook, courtesy of the “status” feature.

I was at my other job this afternoon in which a friend from work stopped in and said they heard it on the radio. The news immediately spread through all the cashiers and baggers (Yes. I work at a supermarket.) and soon the customers were becoming aware of the news.

If I wasn’t working I’m sure I would have been home and immediately logged onto my Facebook to check out the explosion of Status Updates…

(The following are quotes from statuses of people’s Facebook accounts. Some may be funny. Some may be true. Some may be straight up stupid.)

Ya we get it mj died. what about the people who put their life on the line every day? not some fuckin diddler

Thinks that if people took half the time they took writing there status about M.J to write about the people in the military who die to keep us safe and free or the millions of people who die painfully everyday this would actually look like a caring and appreciative country! Another sex offender of the streets!

will be sure to grab the MJ greatest hits out of the garage for the road trip this weekend.

guys chill, MJ ain’t dead….its tupac round 2.

For my money it still doesn’t get much better than “I Want You Back” when he was still with the The Jackson 5.

The silver lining to Michael Jackson dying is that every radio station is playing his songs

Michael Jackson can’t be dead…

wasn’t going to say anything but to you cold motherfu**ers wishing death upon someone else— understand that this man had children, sisters, brothers, and 2 parents, whether you agree with the life he chose or not. People amaze me— so quick to judge/act like you know someone. & now the ppl talking shit before want to act like they’re sad. Oh the FU**ED up world we live in….RIP.

remembers the day his mom bought him a Michael Jackson glitter glove from Liberty House back in the 80’s. RIP MJ, you made music come alive for me.

Now Michael Jackson can do ‘Thriller’ as a real zombie!

MJ whatever UGH he was a freak

In honor of micheal jackson all major retail stores are having a half of boys jeans sale

Dude who cares about MJ, the man hasn’t been cool since 1985. For crying out loud he looked like the crypt keeper acted like a 6 year old kid and has had not 1 but 2 instances of accused child molestation.
