EITMonline.com is currently dedicated to the memory of Michael Jackson. Here is what The Class had to say about Friday's show:

The majority of today’s show was dedicated to the life and times of Michael Jackson. We looked at his legacy in terms of every context imaginable – some good, some bad, and most bizarre, but at the end of the day, even though we were dealing with the biggest pop star in history and arguably, the most famous person in the world, we had to be ourselves. Accordingly, it is with great sadness, but also comfort and familiarity that I remind you: “Whenever somebody famous dies, even if it is the ‘King of Pop,’ we like to play a game called, ‘He Died, You Win’"...
