The Jackson Joke Machine.

Following on from yesterday's post regarding how quickly Michael Jackson jokes would be in circulation I asked around last night and found that people were recieving Jackson jokes by text yesterday morning before they even knew he was dead. It makes you wonder is there an office somewhere out there where people sit around all day making up topical jokes, or perhaps there is a warehouse where prescripted topical jokes are kept ready for any occasion. Although many of the jokes that circulate on these occasions can be pretty distatesful, I suppose they do have the effect of puncturing the cult of celebrity that much of the media likes to cultivate around the likes of Jackson.

Just to prove that the blog has a sense of humour a couple of the more repeatable Jackson jokes.

Rumour has it that Gary Glitter has put in a world record bid for Michael Jackson's computer.

Michael Jackson's body cannot be disposed of until Thursday.

Why ?.

Because Thursday is recycling day in Los Angeles.

The one about Lego bricks was deemed unsuitable for this blog.
