Yup. The death of a cyclist, especially in London, is relevant and important. We can both empathize with them (as a fellow traveler), and recognize that the tragedy has pragmatic implications for us.
It's different with MJ.
(However, I agree with Scott that people should think before posting - for the family's sake. But I can also see that taking the piss out of the death of a celebrity in a situation like this in many ways is the only way to keep the reality of the MJ event in perspective.)
