Today, I rushed home to tell my parents my girlfriend had accepted my proposal. They asked how I could be so selfish at a time like this. Apparently, Michael Jackson's death is more important than their son. FML
I agree, your life sucks (49479) - you totally deserved it (3245)

yeh...ur parents may be big fans of MJ..so dont be mad at them
#10 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:23am by husseinfarran93
no matter how big of fans they r, its not like they knew him, how can you put a musical artist before your family, especially your son. and its not like he was gonna tell them something dumb, an accepted proposal is big news.
PS. i agree 100% #74 - just because he was found innocent doesnt mean anything.
#77 - On 06/26/2009 at 7:32am by thenotoriousmpgs
HOW DARE YOU THINK OF URSELF BEFORE MJ.
ur parents prob had a boner for him.. Both of them.. fyl :]
and ydi for... for.. iuno
I agree with #1, although MJ's death in many ways is surprising and tragic because his music was amazing, family always comes first.
It's okay to mourn MJ, but not to let it take away from what matters in YOUR life.
I agree with you OP, fyl.
Little does the OP know he was actually conceived during a botched thriller/moon walk combo attempt at his parents' wedding dance...
#77 is right...although it was shocking it wasn't like your family knew him and family always come first. an engagement is huge news - trust me, my sister is getting married this summer and it's very exciting! congrats on your engagement!!

whoa guys, sorry about how screwy my comments are acting. i only meant to post that once...i think my computer's having issues lol
#216 - On 06/27/2009 at 6:42pm by hockeyfan_30
you sound so fucking stupid.
but it may have just been a really big shock to your parents. he defined a generation, and made a huge impact on your parents. but you really didn't deserve that. there is so much time to mourn over his death, but that moment was special, and you deserved to have family around you. so you can be angry at them, but understand where they are coming from and the devastation of losing such an important idol in their lives.
#226 - On 06/28/2009 at 9:29pm by kcslgvr
damn.
your life is fucked ; ha.
i mean sure , MJ's death was pretty big.
but it's not like they knew him .
always put your family first .
#240 - On 07/03/2009 at 6:57pm by ElliexMarie
Ydi MJ is waaaaayyyyy more important than a engagment. I meen it's s'not like ur married or anything..
MJ was a fucking queer ass child molester, and im glad hes dead.
#260 - On 11/01/2009 at 10:48pm by jazzmancarron
Pedophile allegations aside, Michael didn't do much else to instigate all this unjust hate towards him. The rumors on sexual assaults against him were just that -rumors. Even if it were true, he didnt deserve to die. I can't believe that so many comments here are either belittling, insulting, or say that Michael deserved to die. Have some f*cking respect for him. He accomplished greater things than you frickng haters ever could. Jesus, he can't even avoid criticism and hate even in death.
#66 - On 06/26/2009 at 6:51am by _Mish
when you say pedophile allegations aside, thats a huge thing to put aside, its cause for a lot of people to not like him
#79 - On 06/26/2009 at 7:36am by thenotoriousmpgs
no disrespect to MJ, but didnt he pay the families of the children he was accused of molesting alot of money.......?
if you had all that money and ppl were spreading horrible rumors about you would consider giving them money to shut up? especially if you're that popular and EVERYONE knows you?...
oh ya #127 giv the families lots of $ 4 raping their kids thats gunna help the kids out a lot. u cant pay some1 2 4giv u 4 raping them idiot
#141 - On 06/26/2009 at 11:26am by crzy_vballr
#141- You know what? There are lots of people out there in this world who, for enough money, would stop raising a stink about something traumatic happening to their kid for enough money. That family got $22 million. There's a woman in jail for accepting $25,000 to not report the guy who molested her 12 year old daughter to the police. People can be sick. Did MJ really molest that kid? We don't know. But I always found it suspicious he settled rather than follow through to conviction if he was innocent.
oh man, im right there with ya bud..so disrespectfull..its not like he murdied anyone. the allegations were never proven. people are so money-hungry these days and will say whatever their lawyers tell them to, so they can make a fast buck.
#182 - On 06/26/2009 at 3:41pm by Stay_beautiful
Yeah, but think about it...we're talking about the king of pop here, hahaha
well, I'm sure they'll be happier for you tomorrow, congrats!
#5 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:19am by gcristina17
THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT.
you could tell them tomorrow, shut it.
#8 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:21am by lovelykendra5
Wow all the people saying they agree with his parents can burn in hell...
#12 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:24am by buckeye91011
um you getting married then most likely getting divorced in a couple years... over one of the best muscians of all time passing away...hmmm which one to choose...
#14 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:27am by ithedarkknight
Are you for real? Really? Wow. You need a life but quick. @OP - congrats on the engagement to you and your fiancee. Please don't take any notice the MJ hubbub. It's ridiculous for that to override your happiness.
#23 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:39am by Stupidstupidrat
you must have a very sad life if that's your view of marriage.
#36 - On 06/26/2009 at 5:01am by ElMundio87
Wtf?? Michael jackson hasnt done anything recently but be a freaky pedophile!! You can still hear all of his old songs!! Its not like they all get deleted because he died! And he wasnt doing anything new so who gives a fuck??? Get a life people!!!
You didnt hear about his 'This is it!' farewell concerts then no?
#19 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:34am by Virtuoso
dude don't even go there, your speaking about such acts that went unproven, that whole pedophile crap was probably complete bullshit, you have no hard, groundbreaking proof of such an act so don't jump to that issue, and as for him doing anything new, he was about to go on another concert tour which probably would have led to another album making that most likely would have been his last.
are you serious.. that was back in the fucking early 90's and he was proven innocent. Stop letting your ignorance get in the way that Michael Jackson is fucking a legend.
Dude, he was like the start of boy bands. Hell he is probably the start they have girl bands too. He started every fucking thing. He might not have been that sane but what musical genius, no scratch that what artistical genius is sane?
#33 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:55am by ohhhhshizzz
Uh, clearly #15 was born way past the Michael Jackson era, has no idea that he should thank MJ for starting music videos and initiating tons of other developments in the musical industry since his prime, AND is too ignorant to understand that the "King of Pop" overrules any of his other titles, including "freaky pedophile", which is an old charge anyway.
MJ was so close to making a comeback, too, I could tell. :(
OP, fyl. Bad timing FTL.
#39 - On 06/26/2009 at 5:09am by laurisshnazzy
oh ffs, what an inconsiderate fool you are!
don't honour him as the "paedophile". honour him for what he contributed to the music industry.
honour him for the music he created & brought to the world, you jerk!
how dare you speak of him like this when the poor man has just passed away.
RIP Michael Jackson. You were an absolute legend to the music industry & your music will live on
#65 - On 06/26/2009 at 6:48am by staciieee_x3
#39 actually the beatles started music videos as we know them today. but mj turned them into movie-like things
Just cause he hasnt done anything recently doesnt mean he hasnt done amazing things in the past.
he helped so many people, and children in need around the world. if you dont know what your talking about shut your mouth.
#231 - On 06/29/2009 at 2:53am by amorsgotsoul
You caused his death you ass. God's little way of saying "Dont marry her"
#16 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:28am by xavierdevoy
congrats on the proposal but now you'll always have the same anniversary as 'the death of the King of Pop'
haha that makes it even more of an FYL
not necessarily, it's not like they are getting married today... they will probably wait many months.
I wouldn't marry her now.
That's a sign.
Oh, and MJ is more important.
#21 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:36am by lovelykendra5
People shouldnt proportion their grief based on fame, so a big congratulations to you!
#22 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:38am by heymcfly53
i would just be sad that i have the same anniversary as a creepy pedo with bleached skin. f*** your parents
To those who say YDI, I reply WTF?! It's not like his parents knew MJ personally, and he might not have even heard of his death till he got to his parents. I browse this site on a daily basis when I get free time, and I swear, some people seem to just come here to try and make the OPs feel like a piece of shit, like the OP already doesnt already feel shitty. Anyone who does that kinda stuff are the real pieces of shit to me
#26 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:46am by ManInTheBox89
Ok.MJ was cool nd great when he was black.but after he bleached his skin,but fucking neverland ranch,nd touched lil kids he was a gay pedophile that should have no attention.congads on ur marriage.parents can be assholes,and that is an example.but you can start a new family now,and get mad at ur son for coming home and saying he got engaged on the same day the jonas brothers died
Ignorance is NOT bliss.
"Ok.MJ was cool nd great when he was black.but after he bleached his skin,"
He has a rare skin disease that turns his skin lighter. I cannot remember what it's called, but if you look at pictures of him from younger to older, you can tell his skin got gradually lighter as he grew up.
"but fucking neverland ranch,"
Do you mean bought? He bought neverland ranch to make little kids happy and feel like magic is real. So what, is Walt Disney a pedophile now, too? This is news to me.
"nd touched lil kids he was a gay pedophile"
He was found innocent of this. I hate that the media keeps telling people he was guilty. The people who accused him of these crimes probably just wanted his money.
P.S. Your spelling sucks.
#43 - On 06/26/2009 at 5:19am by mehwhateverr
Yep...its called vitiligo...and unlike other patients who cover up the white spots on their skin, Michael Jackson covered up the dark ones...most likely because it was progressed so far that the majority of his skin was already white and he only had few darker spots...hence easier to cover the dark spots with light make-up than covering whole Michael in dark make-up...
#99 - On 06/26/2009 at 9:04am by Puolukka
Today, I declined every "Michael Jackson" FML I saw while moderating, and yet TWO got to the front page. FML.
#34 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:55am by stringoffail
me too, and I saw a BUNCH! I saw one that was like, "Today, Michael Jackson died his ass upstaged my death. I'm Farrah Fawcett FMl" or something, I was like wtf??!
#35 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:58am by ohhhhshizzz
if it was anyone else that died, i'd be seriously pissed. but you should be happy, you will have a new family to put up with verrrry soon.
Wow, your parents need to prioritise. Family are more important, and MJ wasn't the best person in the world, and better people passed away today
That's messed up.
I mean, as torn up as I am about MJ's death, other things that happen today are still important (like my friend's birthdays, proposals, etc.)
And it's not like you knew he was going to die today.
YDI BROOOOO!!@~!!~!~!
Obvious sarcasm. FYL.
#40 - On 06/26/2009 at 5:10am by mehwhateverr
I meant birthdays in general are important, not just MY friend's.
#45 - On 06/26/2009 at 5:21am by mehwhateverr
Damn
IT JUST FUCKING HAPPENED AND IT'S already ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!!
#41 - On 06/26/2009 at 5:11am by Vampire_princess
He was found NOT GUILTY for all those charges.
Bunch of ignorant jerks.
You're parents should have cared more though.
FYL
OJ was found not guilty too. Not guilty doesn't mean MJ didn't do it, it just means he got away with it.
The only reason you think he didn't do it is because you don't want him to have done it.
I respect him as an amazing artist, but that doesn't mean he was innocent.
Dying doesn't make him a good person. It just makes him dead.
A girl can accept ur proposal more than once, but MJ can't die more than once.. RIP MJ...
#47 - On 06/26/2009 at 5:27am by DingusLvl5
Today (well, yesterday, technically. June 25). Cardiac arrest.
#49 - On 06/26/2009 at 5:33am by laurisshnazzy
Ouch. That sucks man. It's not like they knew him personally so as much as they can feel bad for his passing it should in no way be bigger new than your proposal.
Anyway, laughter is the best medicine.
So Michael jackson announces a 50 day tour, takes all the money and then dies? You've been hit by a smooth criminal !
Something similar happened to my father. He was in the Navy and got some shore leave so he surprised his girlfriend and his family with a visit. Elvis Presley's death was more important than his return...
Wow your parents are complete fools.
MJ never did anything important for the world and I doubt your parents knew him so who knows why they care more about his death then your life.
Never did anything important? Wow. He created boy bands, he started music videos, and he became an iconic figure in the musical industry not only as a pop star, but as a dancer as well. And, of course, all of these contributed to the musical industry to shape it into what it is today. What rock have you been hiding under?
#55 - On 06/26/2009 at 5:59am by laurisshnazzy
I'm not sure if creating boy bands is a plus. In fact, I know it's not.
#119 - On 06/26/2009 at 9:58am by pleasetryagain
Hahaha #119. I'm not a fan of boy bands myself, but they were nonetheless a trend of music at one point. I see your point though :P
#186 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:11pm by laurisshnazzy
FYL, Michael is a legend but ur parents need to set their priorities straight. It's always family before idols :D CONGRATS ON THE ENGAGEMENT THOUGH!!!!!! Sit ur parents near the restrooms during the wedding for acting like that! ;)
wow... that sucks dude :|
if my parents were like that, they would have never heard about me again
FYL
#60 - On 06/26/2009 at 6:15am by ScatteredMind
Wow, if your brother had died instead of Jacko I could see their point (and you too), but it was only a pop singer, and it doesn't matter how fanatic they were, you're their son so you should be more important to them. I'm pretty sure they'll be over it very soon. They are the selfish ones.
i think your proposal is a big deal, dont take it personally. im happy for you.
#63 - On 06/26/2009 at 6:41am by xmagicgirlxx
HAHA this is the best FYL in a long time. Wacko Jacko's dead and it should not affect them much. He probably faked his death anyways to get an album sales spike.
#68 - On 06/26/2009 at 7:03am by ArthursLifeSucks
oh my lordy lord.
you sir, are an absolute ignorant twat!!
how DARE you say anything like that, you are an absolute tool & its people like YOU who should be dead, not a musical legend like Michael Jackson.
he has a family, he has kids. how do you think they feel?
& here you are making comments about him faking his death to get an album spike.
what an absolutely ignorant and inconsiderate comment to make.
ffs, some of the comments here about MJ are UNBELIEVABLE.
some of you people need to learn respect & consideration.
trust me, it'll take you that one step further in life.
#76 - On 06/26/2009 at 7:15am by staciieee_x3
Yeah, it's US that should be dead, not idiots like you who mourn child molesters?
There's no way I'm going to mourn, or even tolerate others mourning, someone accused multiple times of child molestation, someone who dangles babies over balconies, someone who can't accept their own basic skin color.
I think #78's right on, if your parents think like that, don't invite them to the wedding.
OH FFS. honour the man for what he has contributed to the music industry.
he is the basis of some of the music you listen to.
sure he had flaws. massive ones to say the very least.
but everyone has flaws.
he was in the public eye and yes he did make very stupid mistakes, but i mean, ffs, this is pathetic.
don't just remember him for his idiocy. remember him for his music.
that is all i'm trying to say.
dont like it? STFU & GTFO.
#87 - On 06/26/2009 at 8:14am by staciieee_x3
your a douche. one kid was molested... millions of kids were inspired. do the math
#96 - On 06/26/2009 at 8:56am by AngusBalls
so it's ok that a child was molested because think artifaical life form could make you sit on your couch and hug yourself and cry? Fuck you dude
I remember his music vividly. I hate it. MJ is 0/2 so far in my books.
#158 - On 06/26/2009 at 12:36pm by The_Unspool
#96...you can burn in hell. How dare you suggest that the fact that he "inspired" millions of kids and "only molested one" is ok? He, more likely than not, has ruined that kids life, for he will always be considerered an outcast, uncomfortable with himself, and will have trouble communicating with others. That is the most idiotic thing ive ever read here or anywhere else, and i think you need a serious common sense/reality check before you say anything else in your pathetic little world. Do you understand that? HE DESTROYED A HUMAN BEINGS LIFE. Not to mention his family and friends, who are no doubt confused, upset, and troubled by Micheal Jacksons actions? I will say no more on this subject except that i really hope you get some help.
OP, congrats on your marriage, may it be a long, happy and fruitful one. And by the way....FYL.
#193 - On 06/26/2009 at 5:27pm by Slightmisshap
People will be talking about this day forever. Your engagement is even less talk worthy than Farrah 's death. You should of waited to propose
#70 - On 06/26/2009 at 7:08am by deliapearl
I modded this!! Best fml of the day :) yes MJ had some poor life choices but the man just died-give him a little respect. His music was great and changed the world. Maybe he' up in heaven planning a duet with Elvis. How epic would that be?!
#72 - On 06/26/2009 at 7:09am by fangsupKELS
Congratulations for you (=
But just cause some people like MJ more than him, don't mean that he deserves this. He probably didn't know that he died when he proposed to her. It's not his fault.
#73 - On 06/26/2009 at 7:10am by asiangirl555
to the people who say he was found innocent- do you know anything about the United States justice system? i dont f**king think so. OJ Simpson, Martha Stewart etc... child molestation is still a problem in the United States- are you blind?
to the op- your parents shouldnt be mourning him to the point they arent happy for their real lives.- FYL
#74 - On 06/26/2009 at 7:12am by whogivesaf_ck08
I agree with #57. Good riddance.
Also, your parents are fucked up in the head. Don't even bother inviting them to the wedding if they care more about some pedophile croaking than their own son's marriage.
#78 - On 06/26/2009 at 7:33am by deathproof
Ur fam is crazy, MJ's death is a big lose to the world but ur getting a new life. Their the ones being selfish.
i love mikey but it was mean of your parents to do that but i would've done the same thing because i may be actually 10 but i'm a die hard fan because he's not a molestor, pedo, or anything like that
#84 - On 06/26/2009 at 7:58am by mjrestinpeace21
Family always comes first
ur parents were directing attention to m.j when he was alive
and even more attention when he died
your parents are flops
ohhh and CONGRATS!!
at least some people are happy for you mate xD
lol well look at the bright side
your parents will probably always remember the day you told them you were engaged!
#89 - On 06/26/2009 at 8:29am by grlwitperlEring
I'd disown them for choosing a little boy groping nutcase over me. Maybe they wished you had slept with MJ instead of your GF... The MJ that the world remembers as a talented artist and performer really died decades ago...
#90 - On 06/26/2009 at 8:30am by Yug_Tnacifingisn
Dude, maybe they MADE YOU while listening to MJ. So they were thinking about you. Gawd. Selfish little brat.
LOL Just kidding. While it's tragic while anyone dies, family and people that you actually know should be more important.
(Not to mention so many babies get raped, beaten, and killed everyday, if they are going to mourn MJ, maybe they should mourn for those poor little babies too )
#91 - On 06/26/2009 at 8:36am by cutecarebear
I respect Michael Jackson as an artist and all, but millions of people die each day, most of which had less fulfilling lives than him, so why does everyone show him MORE sympathy? He doesn't deserve it any more than anyone else.
So while you're sobbing about the one that got away, you're forgetting about millions of others that may have had a chance.
#92 - On 06/26/2009 at 8:40am by MichaelExe

#95 - On 06/26/2009 at 8:52am by AngusBalls
wtf #4. he just proposed and the girl accepted. thats a hell of a lot more important than a rapists death. i agree with #3. soon youl have a new family that will also love you sorry. but congrats on the fianc

#98 - On 06/26/2009 at 9:01am by chexmixbmx
#88 are you serious. you dont think hes a molester. wow.
#100 - On 06/26/2009 at 9:05am by chexmixbmx
what the fuck is wrong with people? OK this guy died and it's a sad moment but people will inevitably die. how can you put a celebrity before your family? he was still an "alleged" child molester and if a "suspected" child abuser moved into the neighborhood of any of you mentally challenged celebrity worshiping imbeciles who say it's this persons fault you would want to burn the child abuser's house down. because he's famous and you enjoy his music it's OK because "it was just a plot to get money out of him" and I guess you'll tell me R. Kelly was the victim when he abused the girl he videotaped. IF HE MEANT THAT MUCH SUICIDE WILL REUNITE YOU HALFWITS WITH HIM.
I agree with #92. I fail to see how MJ's death is a more significant event in the OP's life than his ENGAGEMENT. If it was a close friend or family member, that would be different. Plus, it's not like he knew MJ was going to die. Regardless of how iconic the person who dies is, the world doesn't stop to mourn, life goes on.
On a side note, I don't see how contributing to the start of boy bands and music videos was a positive contribution to society. But that's just me.
FFS .
Michael Jackson was proven NOT guilty of the child molestation accusations .
We've all been blamed for something we didn't do , right ? Even if its something small like stealing or older brother/sisters stuff , or some of being accused of shoplifting , or using drugs & stuff .
Point is , WE HAVE ALL BEEN ACCUSED OF STUFF WE DIDN'T DO .
As was Michael Jackson .
So to everyone who says that he deserved to die ,
No one DESERVES to die . No matter how much of a bad thing they do , NO ONE does .
People die & its the cycle of life , true . But no one should wish someone death .
Sorry OP , I kinda got off topic a little bit .
Congrates ! I hope you & your finacee are very happy together . :]
Well OJ WAS NEVER GUILTY, but did he do it...FUCK YEA HE DID
#110 - On 06/26/2009 at 9:40am by Antonio718
Well he was proven NOT guilty . And there is a whole whack of evadience ( Sorry for my spelling :P ) proving that he DID . The judge & the jury obviously thought he was NOT guilty , So I guess .. :s
"Today a child molester died. FML"
Basically sums it up for people loving Michael Jackson
#108 - On 06/26/2009 at 9:35am by Antonio718
He definifitly molested children and those probably aren't even his kids
#112 - On 06/26/2009 at 9:44am by fyourlife33
Congratulations on your girlfriend accepting your proposal! I for one, think it is very exciting news and even though I don't know you, I'm very happy for you both. I hope you have a long and happy life together,
AdamGD yes, who gives a crap? IF HE WAS NOT A CELEBRITY YOU WOULD NOT GIVE BS ABOUT HIM.
#118 - On 06/26/2009 at 9:56am by powermad80
wow 2 MJ posts in one day!
but yeah your parents were jerks if they think a pop star they didn't personally know is more important than their own kid. any ways congrats!
#120 - On 06/26/2009 at 10:00am by anniesaysbueno
To all you ignorant douschebags who wanna disrespect Micheal Jackson... Even though there are rumors... it doesn't necessarily mean their true... so instead of being dicks and falsely believing some media related bullshit... try embracing him for the revolutionary impact he had on the whole fucking WORLD... his performing status... new and old... affected lives of EVERYONE... even kids TODAY still listen to his music and watch his videos... and even if you take his performing status away... that's someones LIFE you're disrespecting... if you died... would you want to be called horrible in this life for some bullshit rumor people just so happened to believe?... honestly... think before you speak... or even better... don't speak at ALL... assholes...
OP: FYL definatly... No one deserves that kind of treatment when they get engaged... Even if a legend dies... family first...
dude. invest in commas. using '...' for everything doesnt even make sense.
#152 - On 06/26/2009 at 12:16pm by australiaaaa
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That sucks.
Congrats, and I second the people that said don't invite them because apparently you were being "selfish".
It doesn't matter what mj did, kids should come first. Especially the major moments, his parents are fucking cunts. Stop arguing about mj okay. It's not going to bring him back or justify his death.
I understand that Michael Jackson had an enormous impact on the world, but the ops parents really fucked up. Calling their son selfish for proposing to his now fiance is just wrong regardless of whether Michael Jackson died or not. Also if Michael Jackson was as good a person as a lot of people say he is then he definitely wouldn't want someones parents repremanding their son for making one of the biggest and happiest decisions of their life regardless if it was the day he died or not. I'm sure if he's as good a person as everyone thinks then if he could come back from the dead to congradulate the op then he would. I know if i died famous or not i wouldn't want people brooding about it and feel all sad and shit. I'd want people to move on.
JK. but it is really sad. and have some consideration, your parents were probably fans from the start. my mom cried. and, to everyone, i think we should focus on the times when michael bought joy to everyones lives through his music. not when the media was trying their hardest to destroy him. why dont you walk in his shoes for a while and see how he had to live life. stardom at the age of ten. now i know for sure that contributed to his craziness. so dont judge mj, embrace him and thank god you got a chance to grow up with him and enjoy his music:)

ydi for being selfish. the king of pop just died. the world just lost an icon, a legend. how dare you be too caught up in your proposal to even care. pfft. some human being you are.
#131 - On 06/26/2009 at 10:49am by muffinsareyummy
FYL, man! I feel so sorry for you. I can't believe these bastards who take michael jacksons death so seriously. I mean, he was a great pop artist, but really. Whether the allegations about him being a pedophile were true or not, (just a side note, I think they're true) everyone has had their day to mourn, now get over it.
Family comes first, nevertheless. Talk to your parents and explain how pissed at them you are for putting someone they've never actually MET before over their son, on one of the most important days of his life.
#131, what is wrong with you?
#132 - On 06/26/2009 at 10:53am by lilallykat87
I agree with #1, family DOES come first.
Congrats mate!
#136 - On 06/26/2009 at 11:09am by danineteen
Congrats, but seriously. Michael Jackson is bigger and more significant than you, your whole family, and everyone who has read this FML combined.
#137 - On 06/26/2009 at 11:11am by AnnieLennox1954
OMG a pedophile died such a horrible event. Even if he wasn't MJ was pretty fucked up. Although I can understand how big fans are sad because I am still sad Kurt and Jimi are dead. Also why have I not heard a thing about Farrah Faucet dieing. I think that is much more depressing.
#139 - On 06/26/2009 at 11:22am by Wtfisflapdoodle
Leave MJ fucking alone u assholes he was a great man who was twisted by holywood but never sexually abused kids so unless u have real proof shut the fuck up and let him rest in peace
R.I.P Michael

Alex_vik ur mum sounds like a heartless dumbass bitch who believes everything the media says
#144 - On 06/26/2009 at 11:31am by frenchieace
What jerks! Maybe not being invited to the wedding will wake them up?
#145 - On 06/26/2009 at 11:32am by jmgirl
Michael's death is a big deal, but that is personal and they should not have done that.
#146 - On 06/26/2009 at 11:45am by pommeblossom
Well, they were obviously sad because Michael Jackson had just died, and maybe you should have more consideration for them.
#147 - On 06/26/2009 at 11:45am by spirited_away33
The more recent trial found him not guilty- and I don't disagree, that family seemed out for money more than anything (the mom was a real piece of work). But the earlier 80's trial? They settled that one out of court. That's different than not guilty. It's a way to make it go away without admitting guilt or proclaiming innocence. Just sayin'.
just listen to katt williams, michael did it get over it he was a child molestor. We've all known it for a while its pretty obvious he's weird as hell. Yeah he did alot for music, but fuck his family's life for the ridiculously large amount of debt he left them with.
#150 - On 06/26/2009 at 11:59am by fyourlife33
The world losing MJ was pretty bad news to fans everywhere so don't take it that seriously
#151 - On 06/26/2009 at 12:08pm by theunluckyleproc
Your parents suck. I was glad when I found out that cocksucking pedophile had died. Best day of my life!
wow, no one thinks this was faked just to post an FML about Michael Jackson? sounds a little fishy...
and those of you insulting the passing of an iconic man, id just like to say this:
regardless of the allegations made against him, he had a revolutionary effect of the music we all listen to today. no one knows for sure if he molested anyone, so if thats ur only thing against him, drop it. #43's correct, he didn't chose to get lighter over time, but had to do something to try and fix his condition. and he didn't just give way to boy bands and music videos, but he inspired countless individuals to try and accomplish anything close to what he did musically.
if you don't like his music, thats fine, but to blatantly insult a man who has passed on is just vile. my heart goes out to his family and anyone close to him. RIP Michael. the king of pop can finally get out of the spotlight and be at piece.
#154 - On 06/26/2009 at 12:19pm by blackbear6193
Stop your bitching they're obviously mourning so wait for them to celebrate ur freakin engagement. Mj death is more important than ur engagement
For the people who say thousands of people get engaged every day and it's not as important, remember that people die every day, too. This is their SON. MJ is a perfomer they don't even know personally. FYL, OP- my condolences for your parents' d-baggery, but congrats on the engagement.
BTW- so MJ is famous and lots of people love him blah blah blah. Remember: just because -you- think it's a big deal, doesn't mean everyone else does. Opinions are like a-holes, remember. Everyone has one and you shouldn't assume everyone wants to hear about yours.
Haha:) But family should come first. Sorry dude.
I think its weird how when MJ was alive everyone made fun of him, but now that hes dead, everyone pays tributes to him. MAKE UP YOUR MIND PEOPLE.
#157 - On 06/26/2009 at 12:33pm by justchilling
Ouch... this is the first fml that`s right with jackson`s name in it. A lot of people seem to forget he was a performer not their best bud or neighbor... even forgetting the stuff he was accused of (that I believe he did pay off at least one family for even) he is not someone they know. Yes Jackson did some good music but get real idolizing famous people above your own kid`s engagement... people cheering on the family for doing that and all need to take a step back and think a moment.
Congrats to you on your engagement, hopefully your rents will come to their senses.
Ewwwww...Michael Jackson is I mean was ugly.....but he was a good singer and dancer before
#161 - On 06/26/2009 at 12:51pm by mylifesucks1232
Couldn't you picked another time to tell your parents about the proposal? I mean yeah family is first but it was Michael Jackson's death we're talking about. Your Parents probably grew up listening to his music.
Yes family is first but another time would have been better.
That's just straight up weird. Your family sucks, and it's not your fault that Michael's heart couldn't "Beat it". =D Oops, I hope jokes aren't TOO early.
#163 - On 06/26/2009 at 1:10pm by slimchaney
My inlaws told my wife (the youngest of 3 girls) that she should wait until the other 2 are married first and not be selfish. We ignored them. 19 years later the oldest is still single.
#164 - On 06/26/2009 at 1:26pm by RiverRelic
FYL. Unless your family are friends of his, there's no way the death of a celebrity should eclipse a major life event for someone they actually know.
#165 - On 06/26/2009 at 1:28pm by mendertorsel
I honestly don't understand why people get so uppity and upset when celebrities die. I didn't know them, I'm not going to give a well-known celebrity any more attention when they die as I do when anyone else I never knew dies (not saying it isn't sad, but people cry and get all upset and crap when some celebrity dies... Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger, etc.). I'm not going to get more upset about a celebrity dying than I am over the amount of people dying everyday overseas. >.o
Why is it that the whole world is falling apart because Michael Jackson died?
Yesterday everyone was still making jokes about him being a pedophile.
No offense to Michael Jackson, but people are reacting way too harshly to this. The news should not be covering it 24/7, the internet should not be turning into a shrine to Michael Jackson, and people should not stop caring about their family because of his death.
He shouldn't be thrown aside, but engaged son > death of random celebrity that they didn't even personally know.
People who say YDI for this are idiots.
FYL.
RIP to the former king of pop, but seriously, family should come first so fyl
i thought his music was pretty good and its sad that he is no longer in that industry, but congrats on ur engagement. now do not invite ur parents to the wedding to get them to wake up and smell the coffee.
i wonder, why is it that whenever ppl witness something hella depressing they begin ignoring all the happy stuff around them? depression can be pretty blinding...
Dude that really sucks. Just on this website, I cannot believe how many people are saddened by the death of a pedophile.
You proposed to a woman on the same day as MJ's death?? Hahaha, sounds like you're off to a great start!
#173 - On 06/26/2009 at 2:08pm by BreezyPear
MJ's death was pretty shocking and unexpected, even to people who aren't fans (like myself). However, they should have showed more support for you, dude.
did you hear about the little boy who came out of the hospital that day? he said Michael Jackson really touched him
dude, not cool
I'm not obsessed with michael jackson, hell i know he's a freaking pedophile but have a little respect. As you can see, some people are a little...obsessive with him on this sight, so don't go and write posts just to piss people off
I can't believe all the people who are voting thumbs down to the first bunch of comments that say "so what? MJ was amazing." Seriously, that's pathetic. Now because of your selfish views and obsessions with alleged (and not proved) child molestations, the opposing opinions are buried?
He was NOT FOUND GUILTY of child molestation. Did he molest you? No. Did he molest your child? No. So back off.
OP: It's not always about you. Deal with it.
Am I the only one who kinda thought this was fake?
But anyway, FYL, man. Regardless of who dies, your parents should be happy for you and your fiance.
Congratulations, I hope you live many years together in happiness. =)
#180 - On 06/26/2009 at 3:29pm by anniemeece
While your life is f*cked,
May I be one to say R.I.P. MJ we will miss you
OP: its too bad that your family likes MJ more than you. I really hope you don't judge them for that. maybe they got carried away?
#185 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:06pm by shadowsx1101
Either your family really has a reason to hate you or your parents are huge douchebags. I am leaning towards it being your parents fault. If my parents reacted to my proposal that way because a celebrity had just died I would punch both of them in the face
#187 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:18pm by topflight1001
YDI for proposing to your girlfriend. If women think they're so great, then they should be the ones doing the proposing, not men.
#189 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:37pm by fuckyourdogslife
Id say back "Why are you so selfish, Thousands of people died today and you only care about one of them!"
#191 - On 06/26/2009 at 4:53pm by Fateless_Fighter
I'm not a Michael Jackson fan, I don't even like him, but I can see where your parents are coming from if they were a big fan of his. His death was unexpected, and he was someone that really changed the music industry. The only singer that comes close to him is Elvis. Your parents obviously didn't know him personally, but people don't have to know someone to feel a connection to them on some level. Just look at all the screaming people at concerts with the "I love you" signs. The most recent person before him that caused such a stir around the world that I can think of is Princess Diana (Heath Ledger aside; he had some good movies but wasn't on the same level as these two). Yesterday was your parents day to "mourn", they were caught up in the whole "we've lost someone great today" mood hanging over people and didn't want it disturbed with good news, it didn't fit in with the day.
Congratulations on the proposal, but you did pick a kind of broody day to do it on. I'm imagine your parents will be happy about it later... it was wrong of them to say that to you, even if it was what they were thinking.
Even if you don't like Michael Jacksons singing you can't deny that he had the most bitchin moves this worlds ever seen.
plus he is innocent.
definitely not a molester.
so shut the fuck up all you hater bitches.
Ok.He's dead.Big whoop.Get over it.He was a fucking pedafile for gods' sake, your parents should be proud of you!Congratulations,soon you're gonna move out and far far away from those bastards! :D :) ;D
#200 - On 06/26/2009 at 7:56pm by hellogoodbyexo09
I'm very disappointed in the comments claiming that you deserved this. And also disappointed in the arguments over whether or not Michael Jackson deserved to die. That's not the point here- I understand being upset, but life does go on outside of Hollywood's tragedies.
Michael Jackson's death may have been saddening to some people, but as their son, your news should have, at the very least, been a temporary distraction from his death. That would still be somewhat pathetic, but better than nothing. Congratulations, by the way.
Your parents are dumb. People die all the time. Your son doesn't get engaged all the time (hopefully). It's not like they knew him. I'm pretty sure the days of MJ's decent music are long gone by now, even if he was planning a comeback.
They should have been more upset about Farrah, anyways.
For MJ's family, it sucks. For people who never knew Michael Jackson it's stupid to wallow in it.
EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT THE WHOLE MOLESTATION THING: No, he wasn't found guilty of that, but he did openly admit in interviews that he slept in the same bed with young children that weren't his and found nothing wrong with it. To me, that's really, really creepy.
YOU RUDE PRICK.
Michael Jackson > You, you inconsiderate, rude and ignorant fool!
he has contributed so much to the music you listen to.
he is a legend, through and through & YOU, sir are a pathetic twat who has most probably achieved NOTHING in your life.
i sincerely hope karma gets you back for making such a negative and unnecessary comment.
#209 - On 06/27/2009 at 4:56am by staciieee_x3
oh, shut the fuck up. although i agree with some things that you said, it does not mean that he is an idiot by being angry that his parents ignored him during such an important moment in his life. michael jackson was such an amazing person and the most influential man of our time, but that doesn't mean that this man doesn't deserve a family during a special time for him. that's like saying that no one deserves to enjoy life as long as michael jackson is gone. so don't tell this man that he deserved what he got. it may be a very hard time to go through but that doesn't mean that no one deserves to be happy.
#227 - On 06/28/2009 at 9:36pm by kcslgvr
OH FFS! i didnt say the op deserved it.
if you read carefully, you would have noticed that i REPLIED to a comment saying "im glad that fuck is dead"
THAT is what i was talking about.
so dont you dare tell me to shut the fuck up
by no means do i believe that the OP's parents should have ignored him & his happiness.
my main fight against people here is the lack of respect being show to Michael Jackson who contributed greatly to the music industry.
#228 - On 06/28/2009 at 10:04pm by staciieee_x3
MJ may have been a great man, but your parents didn't know him personally. He wasn't their family. So yeah, FYL for sure because they should've put you before MJ. But anyway congrats on the proposal (:
Aw, that wasn't nice at all! They should have been jumping with excitement, not being all mad at you. I think you should give them a piece of your mind!
#217 - On 06/28/2009 at 12:42am by animaluverXOX
Michael Jackson IS more important than you. Fuck you, and fuck people like you who don't respect that Michael Jackson is the most important person in the past 40 years, and his death is more catastrophic than JFK, 9/11, and Pearl Harbor put together. 100% on your parents side, you fucking bastard.
keep quiet, you nut job. Michael Jackson was not the most important person for the last 40 years. Yes, we can all agree that he influenced modern music in ways that we can't even imagine, that however doesn't make him the most important person in the world. Just because you're a crazy stalker fan doesn't mean what you say is true, or has any real validity. Hell, I am sure Michael Jackson would think you're crazy for believing that.
You don't even know him, he is an icon to you, that is it. He wasn't someone you knew personally, you can't even back up what you said with anything more than an opinion, so shut the hell up and let the man enjoy his new life, because you know what? To him, and to her it is way, way more important than Jackson dying, and it should be for his parents as well... You're a fucking weirdo...
ok, fuck you, your mom, your sister, your grandmother, and your fucking dog with a spiked baseball bat. that queer kid-fucker deserved to die, and the world is far better with him gone. its too bad hes not buried somewhere public, id go and shit on his tombstone.

#223 - On 06/28/2009 at 5:31pm by csigabajnok
Selfish? Your parents are idiots. I am sure they didn't know Michael personally. They are just a group of those weirdos who think they have some connection with a famous person because they listened to his music. Congrats on the proposal. I am happy for you. I know that doesn't mean much from a complete stranger, but your parents suck ass, so someone needs to pick up the slack.
I'm sick of every MJ-peripheral FML post descending into a debate over whether the guy molested boys.
#234 - On 06/30/2009 at 9:42am by minuteforce
even tho he donated lots of money and shit like that does not make it okay for him to molest young boys. although he did give the family money it will nver replace thos memories.
we r gettin way of topic here! you r gettin married!!!!! congrats!!!!
man, your parents are tight! i mean, they didnt even know MJ!!
#236 - On 06/30/2009 at 12:43pm by pinelotiile
Micheal Jackson, pft. Who fucking cares? His death is everywhere, I bet he did that to become x10 more popular. Which he is now.
#237 - On 06/30/2009 at 7:17pm by mcdawnalds
you mean he wanted to have cardiac arrest and die to become more popular?
oh yeahhh. wtf, dumbass.
#242 - On 07/06/2009 at 2:32am by amorsgotsoul

2 all yu scumbaqs callin michael a pedophile, i think yud loooove 2kno the little kid whu accused him of 'molestinq' him, fessed up && sed his father forced him 2 du it for the money.... yea
2nd of all he had vitiligo, watch his, i think 60 minutes, interview && yull see his hand which is part brown && had the skin pattern of ppl with vitiligo.
3rd && finnaly to number 237, y the hell wud he kill himself for popularity tht he wudnt b able to enjoy.
Jesus, yu scumbags need 2 think about yer commnts b4 yu make them, i am truly disgusted.
I am "truly disgusted" by your spelling. Maybe you should buy a damn dictionary or something before you try to insult other people, because you're just making yourself look stupid with that gibberish.
#239 - On 07/02/2009 at 2:06am by vampire_kitten
You know what? This really sickens me, it also says a lot about our society. Your parents didn't personally know him, did they? Did they ever have an actual conversation or relationship with him? Its sad that they care more about some celebrity they never knew dying then their own son getting engaged. No offense, but they sound like shitty parents.
first off, go back to school and learn to spell. second, fuck you for standing up in that queers defense. he molested the kid, and everyone knows it.
#261 - On 11/01/2009 at 10:53pm by jazzmancarron
your a bitch
your moms a bitch
your dads a bitch, for fukin a bitch

#241 - On 07/04/2009 at 12:54am by blondeychck7
wow everyone is so insensitive.. That really sucks ... it happened to me too kinda, (minus mj) I went over to tell my dad about my engagement and all he could say was how much of a bitch my mom was... ( they are divorced) ... HAPPY ENGAGEMENT... lol..
he had a few hits and he also enjoyed the company of small boys. nothing wrong with that deserves 100% o all atention
#253 - On 08/22/2009 at 5:30am by Andyangels27
rowbin go fuck yourself how dare you compare actual American tradgedies to th death of a musician. that is honestly the dumbest thing ever. how does the death of one man compare to 9/11 and pearl harbor. if you like Michael so much find a bridge jump off and see him
