The first installment of Forch’N Telling is not nessesarily geek-related, but it’s certainly poignant.

First off, Forch’N Telling is my way of letting off steam in a funny and entertaining way, and it may not be for everyone, so if you’re offended at what I have to say, T.S. It’s my opinion, I have one, and so do you! My opinions may not be the right one, but I reserve the right to have one.

Tonight’s Topic: Michael Jackson, and the Aftermath of his estate.

Now first off, I want to set the record straight. I never have been, nor will I ever be a fan of Michael Jackson. If you are one, more power to you. I wasn’t. My fandom of MJ extends to enjoying “Weird Al” Yankovic’s parodies of his songs, and maybe some covers of his music such as Alien Ant Farm’s rendition of Smooth Criminal.

I am not a fan.

It has nothing to do with all of the rumors and innuendos, and trials he endured in his life.

I simply did not like the man.

People glorified him like he was some kind of a hero, when all he really was, was a simple celebrity. Now that he’s dead, people make him out to be some kind of Martyr, when let’s face facts, he was flawed just as much, if not more, than the average person.

But this is not what I am ranting about. What I am ranting about is far more annoying.

Jackson died on June 25th, which as of today stands at 25 days ago, yet when you watch shows such as “The Insider” or “Extra” or even “Inside Edition”, people are inundated with MJ news over topics of little or no entertaining relevance what so ever!

When I tune into a show like The Insider, I am always amazed that the voiceover guy isn’t snickering when you hear “Tonight… Michael Jackson’s Mustard Jar, who’s going to get it?” or “What the Jackson Family didn’t tell you about that loaf of bread left in the Neverland Pantry.”

Personally, I find it ridiculous..

It’s like when Anna Nicole Smith died. For months afterward you’d hear the same announcer saying: “Anna Nicole Day 107. What you didn’t know about her addiction to fried chicken revealed!” and an “Expert” who is shown in black and white with a quote like “She was Spiraling out of Control!”

I don’t watch the Insider, or any shows like that. In fact the only time I do, is whenever I have dinner at Mom and Dad’s house, and it happens to be what they want to watch. I think that shows like that are complete drivel!

No wonder Pat O’Brien’s been out of rehab for years! I’d drink to if I had to sugar-coat that palaver!

I would hope that in the event that I become rich and successful, either by doing this show, or pimping myself out in commercials, or action films, that if by some chance I die while still in the public eye, I don’t have to look down from the afterlife and hear that announcer say: “Forch F. Fortier day 26: What’s going to happen to his collection of Doctor Who action figures? And what is going to happen to his jersey collection? Who gets what?”

Come to think of it, I need a will.

But getting back to that show, I would hope that the voiceover guy gets paid pretty well, and if so, I wonder how I can get in on that proverbial action??? Hmmmm.

I hate these shows, but I’m enough of a sell-out to agree to work for them, so if you’re looking for a voice guy, e-mail me at forchman@trainrekmedia.com

But that’s just my opinion, what do I know???
