The Whacko Jacko Post
Ok, I'll probably get the insensitive bastard tag here, so if your a Michael Jackson fan, just stop reading. I'll start off by saying that my thoughts and prayers do go out to his family, it's the media's portrayal of him as a saint that has got me miffed. I know Michael Jackson was an amazing entertainer in his time, but how can some people see only that and not his infamous later years? I hate it that the guy died and my heart goes out to his family, but this "man" had some serious issues! I mean, the guy actually said there was nothing wrong with sharing a bed with a child. If it's your kid and they sleep with Mommy and Daddy because the storm woke them up or the boogey-man is waiting in the closet, thats fine, but when it is just random kids coming over to "share the love by sharing a bed" that is just disgusting. I'm too young to have been around in his glory days, but just from watching T.V. I think he forfeited the title of "King of Pop" a LONG time ago. It made me sick to see Farrah Fawcett become old news this afternoon, someone who didn't lead a perfect life, but a lot more respectable than Michael Jackson's. I guess thats the mainstream media for you though. I will give it to the guy though, he was an awesome performer. I remember watching Thriller on MTV when I was a kid, and at the time I was thinking "what the hell is going on??", looking WAY back, the guy was actually pretty good.

He should have spent the last five years of his life in prison.
He's getting just desserts now.
Michael Jackson was a phenomenally talented entertainer. I grew up enjoying his performance as much as his music; but, if it looks like a pig, smells like a pig, sounds like a pig and feels like a pig, it's probably a pig.
Unfortunately, he became a victim of a dysfunctional family environment. Child abuse produces child abusers. Inhibited emotionally, mentally and socially...
He seemed unable to experience love, peace or acceptance. His pain and suffering was far from a charmed life.
Hypocrisy now fills the world because he died. He was publicly condemned, and now by his death, is redeemed as a saint. Excuse me, but that's bullshit.
Loved his music, sorry he's gone, hope he finds the peace and love he so desperately desired; but his behavior was far from normalcy.
