Are we finally over Michael Jackson ... or just tired of zombie jokes?

JULY 15, 2009

First sign that the Michael Jackson story is no longer front-page news? Even the satirists and bloggers have stopped writing about him. (Umm, except this blog post. Don't I feel sheepish.)

The razor-sharp funny site MichaelJacksonisnowazombie.com hasn’t been updated since June 26.

“Looks like LaToya and Jermaine are going to be getting more of my stuff than I had specified in my will (WHICH WAS ZERO!!!!!),” the blogger named “MJ” wrote in one of the last entries. “This is NOT the news I needed to hear right now.”

Two other zombie sites — michaeljacksonisazombie.com and ismichaeljacksonazombie
yet.com — are merely shells now. (America is officially zombied out, we presume, or maybe they got some sternly worded letters from lawyers.)

But true to its name, Eternalmoonwalk.com is still online. But it remains to be seen how long can anyone really watch dance-challenged fans from Mexico City, Buenos Aires and elsewhere try to moonwalk for 10 feet.
