It’s really sad. He doesn’t even look human anymore, let alone act. ---

Well, the aged photo is similiar to how his brothers look today, so yeah, I can buy it. ---

I doubt that he would look anything like that- first off, the picture is of a pudgy man. Mike is almost bone skinny. Secondly, nature treats people in different ways. I know identical twins who look nothing alike. That guy also has a _huge_ nose- I might be mistaken, but Jacko never had a nose that fat and wide. ---

Can you imagine MJ, as the man in the computer age progression, singing, dancing, and behaving as MJ does? It’s almost creepier! ---

That was what I was thinking, Opal… thinking of the normal looking guy acting like Jackson is so surreal. ---
