"LKM" stands for Larry King Minutes --the number of broadcast minutes that Larry King would devote to your death if it occurred today.  Michael Jackson has set a very high standard, swamping all other coverage from Larry's show and triggering hours and hours of extra programming from Larry.

I suspect that neither Hugh nor I would make it past a few seconds. Which is, in so many ways, a relief.
