I’m doubtful that confusioncan be avoided, in the case of the Great Gloved One. About his kids, or anything else.
I have an urge to punch Micheal in the head a couple of thousand time, but I’m afraid shit would start falling off his face.
:eek: This is both the funniest and scariest thing I’ve read today. Oh. Argh. Noooooo…
Gah! Why’d you have to go and remind me of that!
No, I’m talking about the one in DDG’s first link that looks like he’s laughing maniacally. Although, whith that face, any expression might look mainical.
I saw bits of a documentary the other day which suggested MJ is spending much faster than he is earning. The day he goes bankrupt and gets out of our collective (unmodified) faces will be a happy day indeed.
The horror, the horror…
All joking aside, this really isn’t that funny. Those poor kids are in a horrible situation, being raised by a physical and emotional freak of nature. (not to mention probable pedophile) What will they ever get to see of the real world? How will they ever know what normal is? If you have any kids, imagine them being left in the care of MJ for even an hour. See what I mean? Nothing funny about it. It’s a fucking tragedy. These kids are going to be human trainwrecks. For fuck sake, won’t somebody save these innocent kids.
It makes me sad to think of little Michael Jackson singing onstage with his brothers, knowing that one day he will grow up to be the freakish monstrosity that dangles his baby son off of a balcony.
In his defence (I just love arguing for the underdog)…
He’s just some pop star not a politician
It doesn’t matter what he does in his private life so long as it’s not provably criminal.
So what if he’s had plastic surgery?
He obviously has issues about the way he looks. That’s his problem not your problem, don’t worry about it.
He seems to have whitened his skin over the years
I suspect he has vitiligo which is a skin condition which leaves patches of white skin on your body. It is particularly common amongst Asians and Afro-Carribeans.
There is no cure for this condition, only treatments (which usually don’t work). The only effective treatment is depigmenting your whole skin so that at least you are now the same colour all over.
This is the most extreme treatment available but since he obviously seems to care a lot about his appearance this is what, I suspect, he has done.
He seems to like kids a lot
Without any evidence of criminal intent proven in a court of law, this is just rumour. If he was treated bad as a kid that may explain his desire to see kids treated well - always look for the simplest solution before you start jumping to libellous words like “pedophile”.
He’s the father of 3 kids and they’re gonna have a bad father
Hey, weirdos abound in the world and many of them have kids. Who knows whether Jacko is a good dad or not? I mean in real everyday life. I wouldn’t like to make a judgement about his fatherly skills based on what I read in the media, I prefer to trust in the welfare system and the justice system to sort it out if there’s a problem.
He hung a baby out the window
Possibly the misguided actions of a proud father? Maybe he was so caught up in the excitement of the moment that he thrust his baby forwards to show people. Then he realised there was a 4 storey drop below and pulled the kid back inside again. Indefensible, of course, but perhaps he just acted impulsively and then regretted it later.
On it’s own, that isn’t enough to take someone’s kid away from them.
I admit I don’t know what the towel on the head was about though.
He makes shit music
I’ve never been a fan but then there’s lots of bands I don’t like. He’s just some singer not a mass-murderer.
First saw the picture and thought “A proud, but probably mentally unstable father”.
Then I saw the video on CNN and saw that child fighting Michael’s grip … clearly did not want to be in that position.
Maybe this is another one of those “Look at me I am a fertile, masculine, aggressive man who is clearly still a sex object buy my music!” moves, like when he grabs his crotch every few frames in his music videos.
Hey, Michael, newsflash for you, guy: wanna be a sex object? Be a stable man with healthy kids.
He has said in the past that he suffers from vitiligo but I don’t buy it, because his skin tone would be more uneven.
He’s SCARY. I don’t care.
He’s not scary, except perhaps to his kids. He’s pathetic.
Jojo I’m not totally au fait with the full facts, but regarding pedophilia, didn’t he get charged, then pay millions of dollars to witnesses who then refused to testify?
Is there any serious suggestion that the witnesses were just blackmailing? If not, isn’t the situation pretty damn clear?
He sure paid an awful lot of money just to make a “rumor” go away. And, to quote Howard Stern, If he just “loves kids” so much, then WHERE ARE THE GIRLS?
One of the two Michael Jackson programmes which aired here last week quoted a figure of $US30 million as having been paid by Jackson to the family of one of the boys involved in the paedophilia allegations.
I don’t recall him ever having been charged - my recollection is that the allegations initially surfaced in the media.
And yes, when money is no object I can see why someone just might make an out of court settlement rather than defend themselves against charges of which they are not guilty - especially when the case is likely to be played out in the media over a long period of time.
Heck, multinational corporations and insurance companies make out of court settlements all the time in cases which they would win in court.
Loving kids and loving women are not the same thing punha. I know many fine gay parents in whose lives people of the opposite gender are noticably absent. I also know quite a few parents who have decided to parent alone, without a partner of either gender around.
IIRC, he didn’t get charged with any crime, the family brought a private civil suit. He settled the case out of court, which I don’t think should be interpreted as an indication of guilt.
Especially since rumor has it that his record label told him to pay up quickly and quietly so that the matter could be put to bed before his next album was released.
ALL YOUR FACT ARE BELONG TO US
HA!
Thats hilarious.
