How Much Michael Jackson are going to put up with on DU? |
|
This is supposed to be a Political board, but I've seen at least four threads on GD, and a couple of LBN about Michael Jackson, most of them complaining about how he's driving out real news.
Are some of our more prolific posters irony challenged?

2. DU isn't just a political board, it's for whatever we decide it's for. |
|
There may be more politics in the Jackson case than you think. If people want to talk about Jackson, let them.

17. The Weather Channel covering MJ: that is so sad it is funny |
|
Edited on Thu Nov-20-03 05:10 PM by roughsatori
I wonder if there is a word to describe something so pathetic it is funny. It could be considered lugubrious, but that means more of so ridiculous it if unintentionally funny.
Welcome to DU :)
edited to add this Merriam-Webster correction:
Function: adjective Etymology: Latin lugubris, from lugEre to mourn; akin to Greek lygros mournful Date: 1601 1 : MOURNFUL; especially : exaggeratedly or affectedly mournful <dark, dramatic and lugubrious brooding -- V. S. Pritchett> 2 : DISMAL <a lugubrious landscape> - lu·gu·bri·ous·ly adverb - lu·gu·bri·ous·ness noun

ARE mainly complaints about how the news is going to cover this instead of everything else that is screwy.
