Man this news really fvcked up my mood today.

Sarah Fosset as well, both American Icon. Rip to both of you. Will be missed dearly.

I grew up on Michael Jackson so this hurts, more than I though it would.

Yeah, wow... right when I get on comcast... BAM. So sudden. Rest in Paradise Michael Jackson.

Really sad. Jackson died without ever really clearing his name.

that's Farrah Fawcett stepup... lol

Ali Akbar Khan

and Ed "you are correct sir" McMahon

RIP Michael... you had a effed up childhood and adulthood. I hope you find peace.

Not sure if some of you are ready for this yet (as you all seem quite upset at losing this kiddy fiddler)

But here are some jokes circulating around the offices of England =

1 - The coroner is having difficulty ascertaining the cause of death……..he doesn’t know whether to blame it on the sunshine, the moonlight, the goodtimes or the boogie!!!

2 - Michael Jacksons dying wish was to be melted down and made into lego bricks……..so children could still play with him.

Wait! I heard his wish was to be made into plastic cups………..so kids could still get their lips on his rim.

No! I heard his wish was to be made into plastic bags…………so he could still be a danger to children!

And the best one =

3 - Michael Jackson's ghost is apparantly already haunting the childrens ward of his local hospital...........its is said he still wanted to be able to put the willies up small children.

Sorry.

Too soon for the Michael jokes then guys?

nah, it's just jokes. Although some people might be pretty sensitive about it.

Yeah, it is well known that he was an alleged diddler. But to us older folks who grew up with him, that guy is almost like a different person. Post surgeries and skin bleaching Mike was very different from young ABC, Ben, Off the Wall, Thriller, Michael. A clear case of a lethal dose of extreme talent, sensitivity, childhood mega stardom, and an incredibly effed up abusive dysfunctional father. That doesn't excuse any sexual abuse, if it happened. But Mike had become just weird enough and vulnerable to think he could have a slumber party with kids and no one would care. He was so off the wall, I believe THAT to be just as possible as he was a molester...
He was batshit crazy for sure. But when you grew up with that little kid, watching him on tv, knew the songs etc... his story is just sad. wtf happened Michael? You could tell he was never was at peace... He had to wake up every morning look himself in the mirror and say, wtf did you do to yourself??!!

I have a few jokes already too, but I'm going to wait a few days for that...

I grew up with him as a real person too man.

And of course I understand and realise that he was destroyed beyond all reconcilliation by a soul destroying father and the pressures and expectations of being so famous and lauded so young.

However, I stopped feeling sorry for him a long time ago..............basically when he decided to settle out of court with the first abuse case, I mean, why when you have all the fame and power you could get and essentially go through any and all legal processes to clear your name................do you settle out of court and hang a big sign around your kneck that says "guilty"

That just never sat well with me, and since then its been all down hill.

Anyway, no doubting his talent and contribution to the music world..............just a very good human to grieve for.

Nah, you didn't offend me Bigs.

I mean to be honest, at first when I heard about the news, I was shocked, but I made jokes about it. But I really realized how many great songs he created that made me actually want to dance and sing and not care how bad I looked. His songs made me have a feel good time. So it's really a sad thing when I really think about it.

Rest in Paradise Michael Jackson.

I hear ya Bigs. But show me the "concrete" evidence that he molested any kid and I'll jump on the bandwagon to crucify Michael. He was/is an easy target, and I'm not in favor of sending someone to jail based on conjecture. The thing is, I'm not even a huge fan of his. but I refuse to judge him based on the court of public opinion. Crazy as a loon, YES! molester? never been proven.

Is it to soon for MJ jokes ?
if so save this one until the time is right.....

as MJ lie in bed knowing his time was short he gathered the last of his
streangth and muttered these last words...........................................

Take me to childrens hospitial

Well there we have my man...............its all about what your willing to add in your head and form an opinion and take a side on, or what you just want to blank out because it was never "officially" confirmed by any legal process.

At the end of the day, the guy was crazy as a bag of kittens..............he admitted too sleeping with children as young as 6 and believed there was nothing wrong with it.

Someone as deranged and f*cked up as that, in those situations (ie: in very close and personal proximity to scantly clad children, which in itself if nothing went on is wrong enough.......and once again, he has confirmed he did).............I just cant imagine that something DIDNT go on.

Anyway, as you say, he was never convicted............I mean its not like he was rich enough to pay one of them $150 million to shut up and make it go away................no, wait.

Also, lawyers are crap arent they? I mean they never get the guilty off do they?

Its an easy bandwagon to jump on yes..............but in many peoples minds, a sensical one.
