Interested in pulling off the Smooth Criminal anti-gravity-lean stunt in your own home?

Look no further. Michael Jackson patented the high-tech shoes before his death:

A system for allowing a shoe wearer to lean forwardly beyond his center of gravity by virtue of wearing a specially designed pair of shoes which will engage with a hitch member movably projectable through a stage surface.

Often times, morons with Photoshop and connection to the internet can put things into perspective better than all of us laymen or even the mainstream media.

Thus explaining this viral image of the day…

TMZ.com appeared to be the first to break the news of Jacko's death yesterday with a post entitled "Michael Jackson Dies" timestamped at 5:20pm.

As I write this, the post is set to break the 3,000 comment mark.  Comments started rolling in at 5:42 and it didn't take long for the trolls to come out and play.

What a tragic day with the death of two major icons: Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett!  Who can put this in perspective for all of us?!?  Maybe TMZ commenter johnny h.  Reacting to MJ's death, he proclaimed:

he loved to take it in the brown eye, just like farrah did.

Wow, johnny.  Really?  This was the 24th comment out of nearly 3,000!  It went live 5 minutes after the first comment, meaning johnny h must have rushed to a computer, dying to inform us of his profound thought.

For your determined spirit to be the first troll hitting the breaking Michael Jackson death story on TMZ, we say, "Congratulations, johnny h!"  You're our Respectful Commenter of the Week!
