This asinine debate is yet another example of the media manufacturing a feud where there isn't one.
And the Academy, by not simply owning up to the fact that the 'In Memoriam' list missed key names, made things far worse.
Why are people buying this crap? We are being manipulated into choosing between our artists, we are being asked to barter between who inspired, moved, and gave us the most joy - and saddest of all, who deserves being remembered the most.
How dare we allow that?
Michael, Farrah, Bea and Eartha should all have been included. Each have appeared in films and each of them has passed. All sweated blood, sweat and dedicated tears for their art and all graced our screens for decades. In short, all are worthy of remembrance.
But yet, somehow the mistake of the Academy has been shifted from focusing on the idiots who ask us to believe that including Farrah, Bea and Eartha would have jeopardized the smooth running of the show - and are now telling us that Michael Jackson is the 'cause' of Farrah's exclusion.
Take note Obama, think you just found a future fall guy for Afghanistan.
