Michael Jackson

so, anyone watch the Michael Jackson Interview last night?

Personally, I think I felt sorry for him.
The press have mercilessly twisted what was said in this morning papers.
so, any thoughts or opinions.

I saw the last part. I felt sorry for him as well, the interviewer got fairly agressive toward the end. If he had had a proper childhood, he wouldn't have to try a live one now. But he is definately a fruit cake.

Personally I think it was a wasted opportunity to get the truth out of him. The interviewer was too direct, and didn't ask the right questions. He should have tried to tie him up in knots to find out the truth, but he kept asking obvious, and pointless questions

I would seriously love Wacko Jacko to walk through the door of my shop..........

I didn't see the interview...but I really have a hard time feeling sorry for MJ...

There is no doubt in my mind that this man is a pediphile. Look at the list of signs of one, and you can literally cross them off when comparing Michael...i.e. most pediphiles have a swingset, etc. in their yard, even though they don't have kids...MJ has an amusement park...never in a serious relationship with a woman, despite his celebrity and success (no, I don't think anyone really believes he and Lisa Marie were actually in a relationship...), etc.

The guy is weird, but I think harmless weird...

Its sad to see the media salivating over his potential to be a pediophile. Its the latest crime craze that anyone who likes kids is in danger of getting labeled with.

Can't he just be a harmless wacko who like Peter Pan never grew up? There is somethign disturbing about the individual wanting to spend time with kids so much, but it doesn't necessarily have to have a sexual connotation, just socially stunted and immature personality.

"socially stunted and immature personality. "

You've also just pointed out the main reason that priests molest children...coupled with sexual repression... It is my belief that MJ is a molester, for the same reasons that so many priests are. They never had the chance to grow socially, interact with women on a sexual level, before making that commitment. Likewise, MJ also never had that opportunity... I however, have never been one to buy into that "but I had a bad childhood" excuse. So did I, but I'm not a molester, a drug addict, wacko, etc. It's up to the individual to rise above it...

did you guys see the bit where the presenter was askin about his appearance.

Interviewer - There are speculations as to the nature of your cosmetic surgery, cheek implants, lips widened skin bleaching etc.

MJ - All lies.. The only part of me that has had plastic surgery is my nose.

interviewer - What about your skin why is it not dark.

MJ - You'll have to ask GOD that.

Obvious lies. If he lies about this , then god knows what else he had lied about.. Lets think of the kids!

I heard he has some disorder which turns his skin white. It first started happening when he started wearing a glove on his left hand ( that was the first part to turn white ).
As for being a paedophile, I doubt it.

He has a skin disorder. He also has Catholicism Rapinoist, or he is a child molestor who is allowed to molset all he wants.

He lied about getting his skin bleached. The disease left him with blocthy skin. He didn't want to look like a freak, so he just got it all bleached.

Paedophile is this years black.

wow, will you peeps listen to your selves.

"paedophiles have swings in their gardens"

"paedophiles are emotionally stunted and thats why priests are all kiddy fiddlers"

Come on, This is just the media whipping up a # storm.

You know in Edinburgh at one point they were going to ban videoing kids nativity plays in case evil nasty men in brown macks did it for nepharious purposes.

"won't somone please think of the children!"

LOL
this is just mass hysteria.

everyone could do with getting hold of the Brass eye Paedogeddon special channel 4 ran a few years back.

sort of puts this whole knee jerk reactionary bullcrap in perspective.

Dunno about the Pedophile thing aye...but there is something not right with this man...he's a freakin fruit-loop...nuttier than a waldorf salad...and YES that is my professional opinion...

The man is a woo-woo as someone put it so beautifully recently. If he was n`t so damn rich he`d be in a looney bin pretty damn quick

he's also responsible for some of the most important music of our time.
its not my taste but I can respect his influence on modern music.

Beethoven was a woo-woo
So was Mozart
Monet was a nut case, As was Van Gough
The wright Brothers can be considered insane and their inspiration Di vinci was almost certainly off his rocker compared to his contemporarys
Charles Dodgeson had a slightly warped relationship with Alice, Lewis Carol had definite paedophilic tendencys despite being a fundementalist christian.

Genius and madness are intertwined throughout history.

You would lock Jackson up for thinking he's peter pan but all these people are presumably fine by you?

Lupe ya right, much as I can`t stand his music it has been very important and I do respect that.

Genius and madness have been linked closely and whilst I agree that MJ has been influential I don`t think myself he rates in the genius bracket with Mozart, Monet, et all.

"You would lock Jackson up for thinking he's peter pan but all these people are presumably fine by you?"

I did n`t say I`d lock him up just the fact that if he was n`t so rich he `d probably be in a looney bin. Like some of the others i think the guys pretty harmless but I can`t see a poor Michael Jackson being anything other than locked up if he did n`t have his money.

" You would lock Jackson up for thinking he's peter pan but all these people are presumably fine by you?" the paedophilic undertones of Peter Pan have been recognised since the author wrote it.

"He didn't want to look like a freak," LOL!!!

Ok, first off, my comments such as the swingset bit, etc. are not just my own ideas... There is a police suggested checklist to identify neighborhood pediphiles. When I managed a computer service tech center, we had certain guidelines about what to do when we found kiddie porn on people's computers, etc. and along with that info, was the checklist. Michael fits it to a T.

As for the priests, do you think that all of the molesting is just media hype? No, it has been well-documented by many psychologists, as well as by confessing priests, as to why so many of them do this. (reasons given in my above post) Bottom line, they're just plain sick...

sorry but just because someone fits a set of criteria doesn't meen they're a paedophile any more than somone who doesn't fit a description obviously isn't one.

This isn't the dark ages, we no longer go around assuming that left handed people are in league with the devil or rapists had disturbed child hoods.

I'd be very surpirsed if a police department was handing out criteria to the general public signaling swings as being suspicious.

I think your just getting swept up in the sort of media generated histeria that caused a village to vandalise a house and terrify a young British woman recently after it was discovered that she was a pediatrician.

had swingsets, and play equipment, but DIDN'T have children, DIDN'T run a daycare, etc. It was to the effect of, if you see a single man, who has a swingset in his yard, etc. then be wary...not go torching his house down.... I was just pointing out that MJ went one better, and built an actual Amusement Park! lol!!!

Actually, my belief of him being a pediphile, is more based on paying hush money to a child and his family to not go to court...coupled with the above mentioned criteria...however, if you believe otherwise...perhaps you would allow your children to go on a play date with Michael...hmm??? Thought not...

Whatever Jackson's failings: whoever changes his batteries is/are (a) master(s) of hype and showmanship.
Essentially this character has built a career on two or three albums with singles released from them with monotonous regularity.
I suspect this is a last ditch effort to get himself sacked from his record company so that he can renege on at least some of the monstrous advances that -in the absence of record sales - have fuelled his "life-style"
Take away his contrived freakishness and tolerable production on his albums and what have you?
If Jackson was important for music then Hitler was important for landscape painting.
.......sigh..aaaarrrgh...yawn
