Title: TMZ Michael Jackson - not dead, screen shot?
Post by: _Anna_ on January 02, 2011, 05:53:48 PM
I hope to not repeat a thread,but I haven't seen it.

Someone twitted this, saying it's a screen shot from TMZ. they said it was an article on TMZ and then it was taken down, saying they made a mistake and that it wasn't about Michael, but about Morgan Freeman. The screen shot is in such low quality- that you cannot see what's written,nor the date,nor anything- make me believe it's photoshopped, as anything can be in that article and with a photoshopped title. Did anyone catch this LIVE?

It starts out with This is it! Michael Jackson is NOT DEAD TMZ......is going to Neverland and definitely not dead.

Okay - if they are talking about Morgan Freeman - how can they get the whole story wrong? Makes me believe they just posted this too soon...?

Here is a link to another site commenting about it.

I could read almost the first line above the picture.
It says:
"This is It Michael Jackson is NOT DEAD - TMZ has ... the singer is alive to Neverland and ... not dead."

Below the picture is harder to read for me.

I think it's fake, but hope not off course.

I think its "definitely not dead". I think its shopped!

I looked at the Morgan Freeman article on TMZ about him being alive and it says another thing. I mean the screenshot of Michael-Not Dead has other formulation of the text. But I still think it's photoshopped, cause the screen shot is made small on purpose I think. Why so little if the one who did it meant no "harm"?

I was curious if anyone saw it on TMZ. Cause for me it's photoshopped.

I agree. If we could find the twitter that posted this we can track hopefully track down the truth. Anna - do you have a twitter link to where you found this?

100% fake. It's so easy to create images like this, unfortunately...

For some odd reason, I believe that TMZ did post it by mistake. This is not photoshopped. No mistake,I think this is for us to be prepared for Michael come back. Again my opinion. Not everything is photoshopped or a lie. We have to have a little faith. Even if I am losing it.  :lol:  I want to give the benifit of a doubt. thanks and blessings

I would love to believe this, however, to me it looks like 777 comments were posted.  I find this unbelievable if it was only posted for a very short time.......

Unfortunately, I think it was photoshopped.

Good catch, momof3kids! If it was only up for a short amount of time, it certainly would not have 777 comments. Also...there would definitely be more than one screen shot floating around. We BeLIEvers are on that site every day. Many more would have taken a screen shot. I'm calling BS on this!

Don't people have anything better to do than to give people false hope?? Seriously!  :evil:

Firstly this article was allegedly posted on 17 Dec

You can see that the Jew Not a Jew article is below.

It also references these articles

In their favour it was taken when the article was less than a minute old, so it could have been up for a short minute and got seen  :D

Sorry, but I don't don't understand how it could have gotten 777 comments in such a short amount of time.  For it to have gotten that many comments, I would think it would have been up for a lot longer and more people would have seen it.......

Do you think it would have had 777 comments if it was only up for less than a minute? That seems highly unlikely. Plus, IF 777 did happen to be able to comment.....that means a LOT of people saw it, but we only have 1 screen shot? It doesn't add up in my opinion.

Considering we don't know who sent this, I wouldn't put this past TMZ doing this as a joke to see if anyone catches it, and they could easily change the comments to 777. Stranger things have happened. Knowing people will think it is photo-shopped will make it more fun for them.

I believe it's photoshopped, so that's why I wanted to ask and see if anyone could catch that on TMZ, to see if it's indeed a photoshop.


Here is where I found it. The link there is not available anymore so copy-paste it. This person found it, but someone else did it (the photoshop) I think.

I am very tired of people (even believers, which is worse) playing with this. It's not a f***ing game and for me any joke on this regard makes me boil.

Very interesting ! And the 777 comments are funny....i don't know if it was a planed " clue " or photoshopped.
So much comes and goes without any result... :(

I wonder about TMZ...if i google it i became some less results and still the link to the first article when TMZ reported Michaels death....

http://www.google.de/search?sourceid=na ... E377&q=tmz (http://www.google.de/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=0h&oq=&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLL_deDE377DE377&q=tmz)

I can't remember this words in that very first article.....has there change it ? I can't find the first article with the discussion of the time of death....

I think it's photoshopped, because the picture is too small to be a screenshot.

Could it be that TMZ are preparing a web page for MJ's imminent return!?!

We were told to look for clues from TMZ, Neverland and the Conrad Murray case ... guess what ... looks like TMZ just dropped a huge clue for us! Perhaps the Polish 'informer' is actually telling the truth? Neverland is ready for MJ's return, TMZ drop a huge clue, Murray's in court this week ... !  :D

Something I rarely say so you can take it to heart. Absolutely and completely photoshopped. If they were good then I could say that it MIGHT be shopped, but they are not good. The person that did this was very sloppy.

here you go Dancing, Im in the UK you can still view TMZ if you use this link  http://translate.google.com/translate?h ... om/&anno=2 (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=af&tl=en&u=http://www.tmz.com/&anno=2)   it can be located on the forum, under TMZ click back a page and its on the next page its called TMZ UK its a locked thread created by one of the mods for use to view TMZ but I thing it probably needs bumping on the the front page again guys ;)

Michael likes to create confusion and controversy, so just because this is obviously photoshopped does not mean that anybody like Harvey Levin or another insider did not post this as a clue. It's a good cover. Just a thought.

I really don't think this is real. No one saw it but that person and they failed to make a good screenshot, they are all blurry. I haven't seen the article either and I was browsing TMZ that moment, because I did see the Morgan Freeman article right after it was published.

When you open the comments on that article, number 23 post is this...so it must've been there for someone to post this back then!

Hmm .. But before that there was an article by Michael Jackson, the product was now simply replaced with Morgan Freeman so that the truth does not come to light! Michael Jackson is alive! He will soon come back and you know dear TMZ team that very well! :) I just say Death Hoax! BeLIEve! ;) :)
