I've been meaning to offer a claim of opinion that wouldn't look as though I were disparaging anyone's annoyance at the sometimes incessant media coverage (truly depends on where or if at all you like to be informed of the news) concerning Michael Jackson's recent passing.
I found my citation in the form of a sports blogger, no less (courtesy of Chris Chase):

nearly every odd celebrity that might've shaken Jackson's hand once, as well as multiple random joes posting minutia, trying to make MJ's death all about themselves.]
Along the lines of the article, what I first gathered from the OP of this thread, and the quick response provided by cybermike, is that some feel the need to divert attention from what is (was) a major and breaking revelation in an icon's passing, into, well... this.

"Anyway, after news of Michael Jackson's death broke yesterday, Johnson had a typically measured response:"
wouldn't it you know it...
"I don't care."
and a good dose of this:
