RIP Michael

So it's finally been confirmed ... Michael Jackson is dead. Tragic day. He didn't even get to have his "comeback" tour - he was less than a month away from his first concert. While I was absolutely shocked by the news, is it horrible that the part of the CNN story I dwelled on is the portion that mentions his childrens' names?

"Jackson is the seventh of nine children in a well-known musical family. He has three children, Prince Michael I, Paris and Prince Michael II." Holy crap. Who names ONE of their kids Prince Michael, let alone two? Anyone else find this odd? I almost think it's worse than George Forman naming all of his sons George.

In closing, Megan (my sister - who is pregnant by the way - YAY!), I am officially okay with Lincoln as a name for my future nephew (although I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that I get a niece). So long as the child's name does not contain Prince or George, I'm a happy camper.
