Under all the pressure the public has put Michael Jackson through the past several years, is it safe to assume Michael Jackson is dead to us? Were doctors ordered to blotch his facial surgeries over the years so he’d become our ever entertaining circus act (Let’s make one of the first African American’s to enter pop culture turn into a Caucasian). Entertainment is so powerful, yet so often utilized by the common man. Michael was a master of this. Perhaps he’s still alive and livin it up with Farrah Fawcett on a(no ignorance allowed here)beautiful Pacific island(just like Amelia Earhart, the girl who walked alone). They were friends, it’s possible. Then again they could’ve died just like the AUTHORITIES claimed. However the LA Times claimed he was dead, then in a coma, then dead again. Fox news said they weren’t sure until about seven o’clock and I say it could all be hogwash. Whichever be the case, I’d say they were both pinup thrillers in their own rights and now I think I’ll go do the moonwalk, hee heeeee…go on girl. ---

No, I wasn’t angry, I just reposted it in it’s proper.Why is there so much hostility towards my observational theory? ---

Definitely cancel your airline tickets, if he is alive he’s only doing private shows. However, soon you will be able to buy his previously unreleased albums. Enjoy! ---

Classic example of a misunderstanding of a “theory.” You have a wild ass crazy idea that has no basis in reality. A theory needs evidence to interpret and make predictions. ---

Yeh, I was just talking about this with my wife and friend. He might go on to be spotted even more than Elvis. Shoot, our OP already has him hanging out with Farrah, fergodsakes. ---

Part of my theory states that he’s alive. Read it carefully and tell me why it can’t be true. I’ll have to respond to you tomorrow though, because I’ m going to bed. Goodnight family! I love you in every American way. -AB, Fl. ---
