I just got back from lunch at a pub where Fox news was playing on the television, sound off. They were showing footage of Michael Jackson dangling a baby over a balcony ledge of a tall building! The baby’s head was covered with handkerchief or something.
What the hell? Did this just happen today?
::off to look for some news links::
Geez, he’s certifiable. :eek: Won’t someone lock him up, please? it’s all over GoogleNews. Ananova has photos, doesn’t look like a hoax to me.
Oh, and that Bambi thing is like the German Oscars–it’s rumored that he’s in Berlin to pick up a Lifetime Achievement Bambi Award.
Should it stay in Jacko’s care, behaviour like this suggests the baby truly will Die Another Day.
That action truly was unexcusable. There’s going to be a huge backlash over this one.
It’s also inexcusable.
sigh
Truly.
Ooops, I just posted this subject over in MPSIMS, as well—sorry!
He has kids named Prince Michael Jackson, Jr. AND Prince Michael Jackson II? Some people really shouldn’t be parents.
And maybe I should post a warning to all the tenderhearted Dopers, 'cause those photos of him dangling a baby with one hand from a third-story balcony are pretty chilling.
Pit thread started, 'cause the more I look at those pictures of a baby trying to hang on with his feet, the more I feel a need to express myself in Anglo-Saxon euphemisms.

Eeeeek! I knew he was pretty loopy, but what kind of person does that?? I don’t suppose anyone can do anything about this, can they? CPS, say? (I wish.)
Are we sure it was a baby? One of the links - I don’t think it’s one of the ones in this thread, but another thread - said it might have been a doll, and that it was all a joke.
And given that the fella doesn’t appear to be Right in the Head, maybe he thought it would be funny? I dunno. Does look like the real deal to me, too.
I saw TV footage - it’s a real baby, all right. Sheesh.
dan, I started to say earlier that they’ll probably say this was just a doll to cover their asses. This guy’s gone. Pure d gone.
Uri Geller vouches for Jacko and if you can’t trust Uri Geller then what is the world coming to?

Ummm, Vicoden or any other of a number of drugs that he must be on to numb the pain of that horrific surgery he has had done, would probably cause him to get highly excited and hang his baby out the window without thought of serious repercussion.
" . . . would probably cause him to get highly excited and hang his baby out the window . . . "
Admittedly, I have a dirty mind, but that just doesn’t sound nice.
Michael Jackson is an unfit parent, someone should remove those kids from his care.
Not to worry; he’s been using drum machines since 1982.
There’s a video of this little incident out now. It looks like he threw the towel covering the baby’s face out to the crowd after the baby was returned to the room.
Wow, it looks even weirder after seeing the video. He had some wierd smile on his face the whole time (maybe it was the plastic surgery). He also looked really clumsy the way he was holding the baby.
Like they’re even in his care. I’d bet good money that there’s a host of nannies and the like and he hardly ever goes near them.
