While the scale of response to Jackson's death might be unprecedented, the pattern of it was not, Lewis added.
"With the advent of social networking, we saw a sequence that we traditionally see around the death of celebrities," she said.
"One, people clamour for the latest news; two, they share it; three, they react; and then the next stage, which we're seeing alive and well on video sites ... are tributes. In the case of Michael Jackson and Farah Fawcett, (people have) a lot to work with in terms of images and video," she said.

Re: Jackson dies, almost takes Internet with him
Fri, June 26, 2009 - 2:08 PMPerhaps in Madame Tussauds newest wax display, there will be featured both Elvis and Jackson, on adjacent toilets, sharing prescription drugs. Both should be wearing diapers, for decorum, though.
I want to know what drugs we need to give these tabloid reporters to make them die...
Farah should have never severed her contract with Charlie's Angels. Got too big a head and wanted to be a movie star right away, I imagine. -
