More Legal Troubles for Whacko Jacko

He’s running the risk of losing control of the Beatles catalog.

Ooooh, I bet Paul’s happy to hear that! (You know, I’ve had this nagging suspicion in the back of my head that it’s been Paul behind the “conspiracy” to get Jacko, so that he could get the rights back.)

And his ex-wife is claiming he abducted their kids.

This should prove entertaining, I think.

What a shame. It just breaks my heart to think of the way people are picking on this poor man, just because he’s different, eccentric, and a batshit crazy child molesting circus freak.

Sorry. Actually, I’m quite fond of circus freaks. It isn’t fair to compare him to honest, hard-working circus freaks.

I read somewhere that Paul is actually not interested in getting the rights back.

Wasn’t Sony the creditor on the loan he took against the Beatles catalog, so that Sony, and not Paul McCartney, would get it in the event of a default?

They own the other 50% of the catalog; in fact, it was Sony who tried to get Beatallica shut down.

Yeah, but Sony’s in a real financial crunch at the moment. The sales of most of their electronics aren’t that hot, the music division is getting the pants sued off of it because of how they screwed up, and the film division isn’t doing that well either, IIRC. So, if a wealthy English musician who happened to be a former member of the band dangled some money in front of Sony, they might just be willing to bite. After all, they could gain some positive publicity out of it, by selling it back to Paul (or Ringo or Yoko) so that the rights would be entrusted to someone who “has nothing but the deepest respect and understanding of the Beatles work.”

Lalalalala I CAN’T HEAR YOU! Michael Jackson is normal! Lalalalala

But seriously, I’d give both my kidneys to go to a Michael Jackson concert, so long as I could live long enough to go to the concert :slight_smile:

Oh how I miss the newly white, eccentric but not quite child-diddling Michael of my youth. Sigh.

Try offering him your first-born.

That only works if it’s a son.

Worse, the Department of Justice is investigating him for passport fraud.

I seriously hope the bastard ends up eating out of garbage cans! He pisses away a $270 million loan he never had any intentions of repaying and now somebody comes to his rescue?!?! If I missed a payment on my $20,000 car they’d repossess it! Yeah, that’s real bleepin’ fair. Let the prick rot in an alley.

Well, at least he already has his whack-job homeless guy persona perfected.

“Oh, you poor man. You think you can dance.” {gives MJ money, pauses} “I didn’t say stop.”

John Maynard Keynes is attributing with saying, “If you owe your bank a hundred pounds, you have a problem. But if you owe a million, it has.”

I expect there is no extraditon treaty with Bahrain.
