OMG of the day

When news of Michael Jackson's death broke, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, and AIM all slowed or crashed. The last time this happened was when Barack Obama was sworn into presidency. AOL released a statement saying, "Today was a seminal moment in Internet history. We've never seen anything like it in terms of scope or depth. Historically, celebrity news prompts a worldwide outpouring with several key consumer behaviors – searching, sharing and reacting to the news followed by online tributes has become the modern way to mourn. There was a significant increase in traffic due to today’s news and AIM was down for approximately 40 minutes this afternoon.” In addition, many of Michael Jackson's fans placed candles, flowers and bears around the wrong star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. L.A. reporter Michael Jackson, who is alive, also has a star on the walk. Scores of fans had no they were placing items on his star rather that the King of Pop's. Other Jackson fans are honoring his legacy by walking around L.A. with "RIP" inked on their foreheads. Fans couldn't visit Michael's true star because the premiere of Bruno was blocking it. In Harlem, hundreds of fans danced in the streets to "Billie Jean" while chanting "Michael Michael Michael".

Shinedown's Zach Myers Reaction to Michael Jackson's Death: "Sitting in a dressing room in Calgary, Canada I am more saddened than I can remember in maybe the last five years. Call the guy whatever you want... judge his actions, judge his judgments, and judge the man any way in any language you want. But Michael Jackson was the best. There was no one better. There never will be anyone better. People don’t try anymore. You can take any pretty loser who can't sing who has a good smile and sells records and make him a star. Just look at ANYONE on the charts today. Today we lost a part of music history, a legend, and the greatest pop music artist there ever will be. The things Michael created on 'Thriller', 'Off The Wall' and 'Bad' will never be matched. By anyone ever. Michael Jackson was the best. People believed in Michael Jackson who didn't believe in Jesus. And that, my friends, is a legend. God bless Michael Jackson's music, his soul, and his legend. That can never be replaced. Rest in peace, sir. God bless your soul."
