Laffzone: A Place For Laffz

Moments In Space-Filling Journalism: This Is An Actual “Article” From Today’s Metro Newspaper, Not Written or Amended or Abridged By Any Member of the ‘Ffzone Staff

The occasion for this confounding bit of commentary(?) was, of course, “Michael Jackson’s Death: one year later.”  We’ve learned a lot since then, haven’t we?

In any event, I submit that every single sentence here is a solid-gold classic example of ‘Ffzone-esque anti-writing.  Enjoy!

Michael Jackson. Perhaps the two most recognizable words in the entire English language. He died one year ago to the day. It will take many more before we can fully appreciate the loss.

Jackson was an undisputed musical genius. What is notoriously up for debate, however, is the man’s humanity: Was he really all “Heal the World,” or was he more “Smooth Criminal”? “With a Child’s Heart” or “Bad”? “The Girl is Mine” or “In the Closet”?

These days it doesn’t seem to really matter anymore — if it ever even did. Michael Jackson is, and will forever continue to be, dead. All we’ve got left are the tabloids and the music. In time, the tabloids will fade. But the music will outlive us all.

In the meantime, we’ve got the tabloids.

Also, here’s a link to the article in case you don’t believe this thing actually exists.
