Apparently a white female pedophile died...

The band?

[Rama]

No.

Anyone see the memorial?  Some people were treating it like a concert, shouting "Michael! Michael!"  I half expected him to pop out of the casket and go "Oooh!" while grabbing his crotch and moonwalking onto the stage.  The one of the news channels interviewed some ppl who had attended and they called the memorial "an excellent performance".  Dudes, he's dead.  You weren't attending a play.

Apparently he's a crossdressing homosexual who legally binded his lovers from ever talking.

Um...  Sucks to be them?

[Derrick]

To fuck a wisp without a nose? Yeah.

Lots of buzz about Jordan Chandler, the kid in the 1993 case, saying that his father ordered him to make the accusations to get money and nothing really happened - interesting. 

I just saw clips later.  At the risk of losing future curmudgeon status when I retire, his daughter got to me.

Yeah, sorry, but I got weepy as fuck.  Brooke Shields kinda wavered between genuine and ridiculous but Paris tugged at the heartstrings.

I only saw parts of it, but I saw the non-mocha Paris talking about him. But it's nice to have Music Video Channels actually playing music again. Even if it is just blocks of Micheal Jackson.

That would have been awesome had it actually happened.

Paris never spent much time with MJ, she probably knew her biological father more than the guy that supposedly was. She didn't want to say that stuff, and the tears could have been from BEING YELLED AT by the same people that beat MJ to a pervert. The family are all psychos (just chell Joe Jackson's comments after MJ died, you can see the $ in his eyes). Most people who spoke at the funeral also never actually met MJ. Everyone who was associated with never showed (except Corey Feldman, who has nothing going on and Brooke Shields... who also has nothing going on). Just shitty oppurtunists seeking some attention by using whatever possible to further their own monitary gains.

I can't imagine why you aren't arranging your early retirement by selling all your inside information on the working of the Jackson family to the Enquirer....

I'm just glad to hear the music again.  Paul Gadd (Gary Glitter) was convicted and served prison terms in 2 countries for child sex offenses and I still heard Rock & Roll Part II at plenty of sports events.

[Rama]

I didn't even know that song had words (well other then "Hey") till he was convicted and they started showing clips of him preforming it.

This stuff is on google news, when I browse the articles it all pops up. Seriously, though. MJ said multiple times his Dad savagely beat him. I hope those three kids don't go anywhere near him, even if he is 80.

Opine all you want on the matter, but I just typed "Paris Jackson" into Google news and browsed back 8 pages to find no headline stating that she never spent much time with Michael.  (Granted,  I didn't pull up any news about the Canadian football player of the same name).

Now if you tell me you actually have the spare time during the day to click on and READ all of these articles that's a different matter, but then I may have to come hurt you.

I have a masters in history, I read over a thousand pages of text in a week. A few webpages in the morning with my coffee is nothing.

Here's the article, I trust E! news for this since it's their niche.

Sharpton Denying the incident (I don't trust him either, he's only around because Joe likes him).

Since the rest of the Jacksons (save Janet) dont have much money coming in save what MJ probably gave them, the 'empire' is their cash cow and I see them doing whatever to get that money. Why? My own extended family is like that. I feel for those kids and I hope they get to live isolated from that family of carnies and freaks.
Edit: fixed the links I think.
