And assuming it's not, I am laughing my ass off right now.

Oh, Mike.

:lol: :lol:
 
Yeah, I remember he got pretty slaughtered for that. That plus the Jesus stance took every shine of his Earth Song performances.
 
I didn't understand? What is wrong here?

What's wrong is that around 4 billion children are dying every day, which is startling since there are like 7 billion people in total on Earth.

:lol:

I'm laughing out of love though, Michael. Honest (but hilarious) mistake.
 
There is actually some truth to that..

Besides all the children dying all over the world in general, children in Africa and such..

Did YOU know that since 79' China has prevented (with their 1 child policy) over 300 mio (!!!) childbirths... And that is actually true..

Um, what's funny about this? :mello:

BTW, he says MILLION.
 
He made a mistake (was this after jarvis cocker jumped up and bared his butt on stage?) anyway MJ still has a point.

Davina McCall"Nearly 10 million children die every year before their fifth birthday. Now you have the chance to save the life of a child and it's really simple. Visit www.savethechildren.org.uk and buy a mosquito net costing £5, that's less than a sandwich and a cup of coffee. Please help to save a child's life today."

Fran Healy"The global goal to cut child mortality is woefully off track. In order to tackle this, Save the Children wants 10 million people around the world to take action by 2010 for the 10 million children who die every year. Join me and take action today. 10 million children die every year - that's a coach load of children every 3 minutes - simply because they don't have enough food or access to basic medicines. We can and must stop these needless deaths."

Apparently 26,500 children die every day..

* 1 child dying every 3 seconds
* 18 children dying every minute
* A 2004 Asian Tsunami occurring every week
* An Iraq-scale death toll every 15--36 days
* Almost 10 million children dying every year
* Some 60 million children dying between 2000 and 2006

The silent killers are poverty, hunger, easily preventable diseases and illnesses, and other related causes. In spite of the scale of this daily/ongoing catastrophe, it rarely manages to achieve, much less sustain, prime-time, headline coverage.
 
I must be slow, but I don't see the "mistake"? I think Michael was just making a point..no?

I must be missing something here. ha.



Edit: Oh I get it now...haha. Aw Michael.

Oops!
3 million children die every MINUTE... :lol:
Then there would have to be like 30 million children born every minute or sumthin..
But the point behind it was important anyway.
 
I think Grand Master S just counted how many children would die in one day, if 3 million died every minute of the day...which would be a bit over 4 billion..which would be quite a lot ;D
Still, loads of children are born every minute......

Either way, I am sorry but I still don't find it funny. It's beyond sad that children die every single day for no reason.
 
Aww this is such a cute michael moment. bless him. I understand him
 
Aww, that was cute. :wub:
But regardless of the numbers, the message is important. And one can hear the sincere pain and agony in his voice. He truly cared and suffered with every child who suffered. And that was one of the things which made him so special. If there were more people like him, the world would be a so much better place. :better:
 
he is so serious when he says it :wub:
I could hug him right there on the stage.. and we must not forget his point behind saying this, even though it came of a little exaggerated!
 
i believe if the children among these 3 million did not die physically , i think they might die emotionally...and this is far more wors :(

watch the news but not in USA or UK and you'll understand what is really going on around the world... watch real news and you'll see how many kids around the world suffer every kind of death.
 
Lol he make a mistake. But must be hard remember numbers when you are on the satge perfoming. Lol Mike, God Bless You.
 
When I first saw this a while ago, I was like "WHAT?!". I always assumed it to be true. :lol:

Right.

And I don't think Michael needs to be "defended" here, Dutchie. It's not like anyone is accusing him of anything other than a humorous mistake. If you don't find it funny, that's fine, but there's also no particular need to commence with the snooty "I'm sorry but I don't know what's so funny about that!" finger wagging. I would probably find half of the stuff you find funny to be stupid anyway :). Everyone has their own sense of humor. It's not as if people laughing at this error is going to cause more children to die. Chill. Be happy it's not true. Eat some ice cream. Etc. This isn't a serious thread.
