I'm confused.
In June of 2009, Michael Jackson was a complete joke. He was a pedophile
who got away with it, and everyone "knew" it. All of his musical
accomplishments were largely forgotten, or swept under the rug.
Then he died.
For the next 2 months, he was on TV every single day, often MTV or VH1, but
nearly every day, someone was running a special about him on some channel.
Someone put together a movie. You'd hear his songs being played in cars as
they drove by. Suddenly, it was perfectly ok to like Michael Jackson again
without being laughed at. Why?
When OJ dies, are we suddenly going to celebrate his NFL accomplishments
again? This all seems wrong. It would make more sense to either forgive
the person while they are alive, or to continuing laughing at them after
they die. This sort of switch seems very disengenuous to me.
