THE amount of fuss some people are making over the death of Michael Jackson is embarrassing and cringeworthy.
Yes, he was an icon, but he wasn't a hero.

He also said it was the first icon of our generation to die. What about Princess Diana?
The truth is that Michael Jackson was as well-known for his eccentricities as he was for his talent.
People developed a morbid fascination with his peculiarity, and in recent years it is this which kept him in the public eye.
