@MC
That was awesome. + a million for you.
Just because he may have had an extremely disturbing personal life, doesn't change the fact that he was the biggest musical artist the world's ever had and there's no problem with liking his work.
I don't hate kobe as a player because of his accused rape, I don't hate Michael Jordan as a player because he cheated on his wife all the time and is a compulsive gambler, and I don't hate Jackson as an artist for his personal life.
There's a reason why the saying "keep your professional life and personal life seperate" exists...

Like others have said his contribution in music will always be what we remember most. Come on he gave us Thriller!

@sony boy
MJ's "vitiligo disease" excuse is a retarded half truth at best. It only affects small areas of the body. So if he even did have it, he probably just didn't like being "mismatched" and went about personally morphing himself into an ugly white woman.
And vitiligo certainly doesn't change facial structure.

The molestation thing was never proven ya know.. It never even went to court. He settled with the family privately out of court for an undisclosed amount. Many believe it was just a money makin scheme by the boy's family.. But the world will never know for sure. =P

May peace be upon your soul (rest in peace) Michael Jackson
Saihna he was accused of molestation, he was never charged for it. Think about that for a second, there is a world of difference.
As freaky as he got, you can never take away the fact that he probably produced some of the best pop music you will ever hear, Timeless classics.
If you look at him another way, he helped unite black & white.
tmacairjordan87 was the first to mention it, its still shocking...

Clearly Woods let him win, just to make Fallon look good. Someone's gotta do it.

Well yeah of course fallon beat him at a video game. To be fair lets have them face off in an actual sport, like basketball. I hear Tiger's a pretty decent player, and he's a huge Orlando Magic fan.

I thought that the wii motion plus was supposed to bring 1-to-1? shouldn't tiger have the advantage in that case?

No. It's the same reason that normal people can beat race car drivers on simulators, or race car drivers can improve their track times on simulators but not in real life.
People on simulators, to be brief, take more risks. On a simulator, it doesn't matter if your move might cause you to spin out; then you just have to restart. On a simulator, it doesn't matter if you take a risk and fail. In real life, it does. Especially in a real life event, where taking a risk can lead to not just personal injury, but losing the event.
Also keep in mind that even with 1:1 motion tracking, it cannot provide the same feedback. Tiger doesn't have the benefit of the weight of the club, the thwack of hitting the ball, the feeling of the wind. Fallon presumably practiced on the simulator, and thus is more used to its differences.

Tiger won the one-hole rematch on the show. Overall it was a pretty good pitch for the game in my opinion. it seems to be selling quite wells anyways and this can't hurt

Here are my thoughts about this event and what it says about the Wii in general: http://www.gameinmind.com/game-in-mind/2009/06/wii-are-not-amused.html

I've argued that the Wii was just a gamecube with a fancy waggle wand in the past few years myself, but the thing that really helped the wii is simply the fact that they (1) released a system that was half the price of it's competitors and (2) "short shipped" the supply so that every time someone went to the store and couldnt find one they assumed it was super popular which in tern raised the demand artificially since they couldnt just plunk down an extra 20 and buy something else they frantically cam back every week making other customers in the store aware that people were trying hard to get it.

Man, the "Short-shipped" theory is as dumb as they come. You gotta get a new one. Hell, sometimes I got to the store and they don't have any PS3s and they haven't sold half as many PS3s as Wiis. But you're probably right. I bet Sony is copying Nintendo's wacky logistic policies in order to drive demand.

That's right PN04, they "short shipped" the Wii into the fastest selling console figures, unsurpassed by any console sales in the history of console sales.
Damn them for holdin back that supply!!

"Here's a prime example: During an exhibition in Times Square, Tiger Woods lost at his supposedly ultra-accurate, Wii-Motion-bundled Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010 game... to late-night host and awkward fanboy Jimmy Fallon. Was it a fluke? Fallon beat Woods again later in the evening in his television studio. Much humble laughter and product shilling ensued"
yep, that totally proves how much of a scam WM+ is. Thank god there are true patriots like you out there watching over the gaming industry from high aloft your pedestal

Nope, i'm also a pretty big fan. I used to think the reason people didnt like him was because he replaced conan but hes back and people still hate him. Yeah, he not as funny as conan but remember, when conan first started, he wasnt that funny and not that many people like him but look at him know; he has to wait like 20 min at the beginning of each show for everyone to stop screaming.

Kind of says to me, "you thought this wii stuff was realistic, you're an idiot, it's just swinging your arms around like a moron until you get it right."
But honestly, the people I notice who are best at wii games always sit on their ass and are able to do everything perfectly with wrist movements. Very athletic /sarcasm
