4. I think all the MJ threads are tongue in cheek

I wouldn't worry about it too much.

It can't be helped. In a few hours it will all blow over, at least here on DU anyway.

8. I agree anarchy! WTF???

It happened with the peterson trial as well. I think too many folks are still watching their TVs. :(

One would love to think of DU as an oasis away from the total CRAP we can tune into on our TVs at any moment.

<Sigh>

12. Jeez it is a frenzy. Please make it stop,. I know it will "blow over",

but damn, I just pride myself on thinking we are better. Whoops. Pride gets you nowhere.

9. My SCR thread is going down fast among the MJ threads ...

tongue in cheek, or not. My local news in being pre-empted, and to think ... this is why I don't have cable! Jesus, I feel for those of you who do and have to endure this shit on a daily basis! I come here to get what is actually news ... :shrug:

Even Brian Williams noted all of the ridiculous media attention in the past few weeks ... and said something like "Now maybe we can finally move past this."
