...this Michael Jackson stuff? My family are all crazy about Michael Jackson and I couldn't care les about them but I don't want seem like a dickhole because I am getting ready to go upstairs. How do I act like I am distraught and shocked about it when the truth is I really couldn't care less. I don't want them all to think I'm a dickhole so I want to make like I give a rat's tootoo!
 
There's a scripture that says "Rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those who mourn." You don't have to be religious or particularly keen on Michael to show a little empathy towards people you care about. "I know you were a huge fan, sorry you're hurting." It doesn't have to be wordy or insincere, but an acknowledgement of a sadness that is true for them. I'd hope you'd see this as an opportunity to show the compassion you'd like to receive if the shoe were on the other foot.
