The Weather Channel jumped into the Michael Jackson coverage business today, announcing plans to air a three-week retrospective of the weather that transpired during the singer's lifetime.

The retrospective, titled "Bad and Dangerous: Fifty Years of Weather During the Michael Jackson Era," will begin airing this Monday.


Looks like a joke but since it was tweeted by a person at TWC I was thrown off. Sorry. glad its not true. Kinda funny now that you look at it :P

The Michael Jackson crap again? The media needs to shut up about him and wait until we know what the most likely cause of death was. Media, this is for you...  :censored:

And Jesse, I fully agree with you :biggrin:

Your guess is as good as mine.

"and on the day MJ dangled his baby from a hotel balcony the weather was sunny and 78F" :P

Oh no...

I expect rushed production, since they only have a few days from the announcement of his death to this special being on air.

The article is from the Huffington Post... I'll believe it once I see an official press release.

Jackson is born......a Hurricane came within 2305 miles of Jackson, putting his early life into extreme danger
Jackson turns 1.................wind blows out his birthday candle
Jackson turns 2................the child molested next door escaped when the predator suffered from heat exhaustion
Jackson turns 3............a cold front was 5 states over from Jackson's house, almost knocking down the temperatures
Jackson turns 4.......the sun rose at 5:32 AM in Presque Isle, Maine, 2 minutes earlier than the previous day
Jackson turns 5...........Weather Channel begins hurricane coverage for the first time, which changed the lives of weather viewers forever
Michael Jackson's 6th birthday..........the high temperature in Estonia was 44°, which is 3° above the average high, something not seen in years
Jackson turns 7.............a cloud passed over his birthday party, dimming the sunshine for a brief second and nearly ruined the party
Jackson turns 8..........a tiny piece of ice melted in Alaska, resulting in drastic global warming warnings
Jackson turns 8 years, 4 months, 3 hours, 9 minutes, 17 seconds, and 98 milliseconds........the temperature in Yazoo City, MS rose........from 87.6 to 87.7

That would mean that TWC started hurricane coverage in 1963.

One thing did happen on Michael Jackson's birthday: The landfall of Katrina.
