Am I the only one confused about why this is news? CNN and FOX (I get cable now!) both had updates all day about it.

Why?

To distract from all the folk being killed in Iraq & Afghanistan, Bills being passed in the senate without being read, and probably some politicians filling their pockets at the tax payers extent in some way.

Smoke screen tactics.

There is a lot of that in it, Im sure........

The MPs over here in England must be soooooooooooooooooo relieved right now.

* from a long time, i believed the rumor that MJ bleached his skin for no reason, or just for personal vanity... i recently learned that it all happened because he was diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus way back in 1986... i feel sorry for him... MJ created a legacy in music universe, his music will never be forgotten, incomparable...

Elvis Presley>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>MJ.

I agree, except not really. Elvis is way more overrated.

Yeah, but he never took baths with children.

Yeah, but he also never had as much talent.

I tend to separate what people do with in their personal lives from their careers.

anyone who can organize criminals into a dance performance is clearly a saint. hence, all the criminal accusations of MJ are just that accusations. 😛

Beating and starving inmates into submission and obedience to turn them into dancing chimps isnt saintly though..

😱

i agree..

good thing they were brought together by the spirit of cooperation, compassion and understanding aka MJ.

what? Luther King was A GODDAMN fighter, he had to fight every day of his life and endured...

and then there's a guy who was on mtv alot, had private jets from age 10, was surrounded by 'Yes men' through his teens and twenties and never experienced any hardships that he didnt bring upon himself. Was wrth a billion dollors and grew up in an era where being the shining star of a black guy was cool..

Wacko Jacko has nothing, NOTHING on Martin Luther the King and should neverf be mentioned in any sentence with the great man.

What about a sentence like, "Hey man did you see the Documentary on Martin Luther King thatcame on after the one Michael Jackson last night?"

Even that's wrong?!

the message consistently stayed the same but not in its delivery.

he was a man, he wasnt perfect, he had faults. that doesnt mean his message means any less or any more truthful then another..

So I guess because he was a celebrity he gets slide by with what he did. anyone should face the same consequences no matter how popular they are or how much they make. they are no different than anyone else kinda like how you mentioned above.

you do know one of the kids as an adult finally admitted that they lied to get money out of him, right?

you can believe whatever you want it doesnt make it true let alone in the court of law.

He was found not guilty. Twice.

So, you have the court stating that if you think he did it, you're wrong, and you have the epic lack of evidence pointing to him doing it, saying that you're wrong.

It totally boggles my mind how people can still hang on that whole thing. It's one matter to say that maybe he did, because it certainty is possible that our imperfect legal system ****ed up and he is guilty, but to say that he definitely did do it just, like... I don't know, really biased.

I dislike all pop music. MJ's death did not affect me in any way.

I forgot which country it was also but his last couple years he spent some time in a middle east country where adults can sleep with other children with the permission of the parents.

dont get me wrong I was a big fan of his music and still have abunch of his albums but i find it odd that he was accused so many times for child molestation and then turns out to be innocent every damn time.

if it was one or two accusations sure id beleive he didnt do it but there was just to many.

Id be more happier sure if he didnt get accused of those things he did. but turning out innocent every damn time is kinda weird dont you think for the same accusations ?

and good he didnt molest one back in 93 that makes me have a little more respect for him.
