I’m a Pundit

So the fan proclaimed King of Pop Michael Jackson has finally kicked the bucket.  Michael Jackson died of a cardiac arrest and there has been speculation of a painkiller overdose. Michael’s prescription addiction has in part been confirmed before by those around Michael’s life, and has been proclaimed one of the largest celebrity drug addictions in history.  While many jokes have been made, Michael Jackson has had a huge affect on worldwide pop music.

Jermaine, Michael’s brother, spoke to the press about his death.  in it he requested privacy from the media.  He also hopes the media will focus on the positive aspects of the singers illustrious career, not the child abuse, sex scandals, plastic surgery and overall weirdness.

Meanwhile people have cruelly pointed out how Michael Jackson’s last album ironically was called ‘Invincible’, this was nothing however to the first three tracks on it. These would be ‘Unbreakable’, ‘Heartbreaker’ and ‘Invincible’ for those who don’t follow the singers music.

I have to admit though, despite MJ’s flaws I have often drunkenly danced to his music, and do respect that while he may be a little gone in the head Michael Jackson has had a huge positive effect on the music that is heard around the world to this day. With some immensely famous tracks under his belt it is not surprising that the singer really is one of the world’s most famous singers and performers.

A survey recently undertaken showed that less than 50% of Brits actually knew where their heart was located, this shocking news places us among the most ignorant of nations, leaving us on a par with countries such as Africa, Uzbekistan and America.

What worried me most however was the actual diagram the University students who compiled this survey produced,

I saw this diagram and instantly began to despair.  While it is well known that university students tend to be a little bit docile, with minds coddled by drugs and alcohol, it is interesting to see they can use a diagram that places the heart upon a central line in the body.

Either the huamn body had evolved to keep the heart right in the middle of the horizontal axis, or the people performing this survey don’t actually know where the human heart is either, leaving you with a pin the tail on the donkey style questionnaire created by people who have never seen a donkey, and are infact a little bit spastic.
