Michael Jackson in the news again...um...who cares?

KevBrock	Date: November 18, 2003 @ 7:09 PM sigh The media can't get enough of Michael Jackson. I'm sick of it. Sick of it, sick of it, sick of it, sick of it. Why can't the media just leave the poor guy alone and move on with their lives? They think they know everything about Michael Jackson which is just sad, and yet, they continue to make fake news about him which is more sadder. He's in the fucking news again about Police raiding his home searching for something. Just end this MJ bullshit already. GRRRRrrrr....

invocati	Date: November 18, 2003 @ 9:31 PM Micheal Jackson's music carear has been "not there" for awhile now. He is one strange cookie.
KevBrock	Date: November 18, 2003 @ 10:08 PM People seems to be more focused more on his private life, rather than his musical life. Now it makes you wonder why fans rarely buy his albums anymore. Mad Jacko just might as well call it quit and retire if he doesn't want the media to keep knocking on him. It's not that hard to retire from the music biz and travel so far away in hiding away from the media.
GeneHilbert	Date: November 18, 2003 @ 10:15 PM I agree the boy has issues.... I also agree that a lot of this shit he's has brought on himself. As well..... if he is not a pedophile then leave him the fuck alone........... But If he is..... then he needs help........ and a lot of it.
KevBrock	Date: November 20, 2003 @ 5:06 PM I seriously hope they put MJ behind bars, or even worse than that, MJ deserves to spend the rest of his life in a mental facility. I think he does have serious mental problems.
furiousBall	Date: November 20, 2003 @ 5:11 PM the only thing that makes me think he isn't a pedophile is that the parents in the case 10 years ago took money to basically drop the criminal case...as a parent, there is no amount of money that would stop me from prosecuting and there probably is no amount of anything that would stop me from ripping the person apart that did something like that to my kids
Svensta	Date: November 20, 2003 @ 7:00 PM I think him FINALLY being held accountable for his legendary infamous taste in bedmates (alleged) is newsworthy. But if you are talking about subjective hyperbole in today's mass media, then you are on about something. Then again, that's not really MJ's issue. His issue appears to be that he is going to be charged and indicted.

sinai	Date: November 20, 2003 @ 9:21 PM but at least he makes me feel better he is 1 of only 10 people in the world with less funk than me the other 9 work at microsoft and starbucks, respectivly
johnnygnote	Date: November 21, 2003 @ 1:22 AM It was only a matter of time that the hammer came down on him. He was just being tooo "Bad". He flaunted his wierdness way too long and the straights just couldn't take it anymore. Besides sleeping with chidren that aren't even his and being proud of it is just a little too much for me. Oh well, after the last accusation by the 13 year old boy a few years ago you'd think he knew to chill out.
GeneHilbert	Date: November 21, 2003 @ 2:37 AM Certainly gives a new and enlightened definition in referring to himself as "Peter" Pan........ =

WalmartSecurity	Date: November 21, 2003 @ 4:27 PM You want me to take him out? So everyone shuts up about him?
SinchyldBeats	Date: November 21, 2003 @ 4:32 PM mj is gay bottom line, dudes a queer, im not saying that to be mean, but hes a real homosexual
KevBrock	Date: November 21, 2003 @ 9:39 PM "mj is gay bottom line, dudes a queer, im not saying that to be mean, but hes a real homosexual" If it turns out to be true that he really is a pedophile, then he must be gay, since MJ mostly spends a lot more time with little boys more than the girls. :-/ I know Wacko Jacko is doing all of this media stuff on purpose, because I know he is just starved for attention, nothing more. I wouldn't be surprised that if Wacko Jacko admitted that he is a pedophile right in court. He sure is hiding something though. I just hope the freak gets put away but he deserves longer in prison than 8 years.
sinai	Date: November 21, 2003 @ 9:41 PM i still hate him for marrying elvis's daughter the KING's kin shoulda known better
KevBrock	Date: November 21, 2003 @ 10:29 PM Lisa did a good move on divorcing him, she probably realized that Wacko Jacko just used her only because Elvis was her father. :-/ I feel sorry for Lisa Marie Presley. It must be difficult to be the King's daughter, with her being beautiful and her being King's daughter and all, I can see why a lot of men would come after her. Her being the King's daughter is the only reason of her trying to keep a man she loves. Her relationship with Nicholas Cage only lasted a few weeks. :-/
jenspen33	Date: November 28, 2003 @ 3:36 AM Honestly, I don't keep up with the news. But with this particular media frenzy, I've actually signed up to CNN.com's "Michael Jackson" alerts. I've been a fan since I was about 3 years old. In my fandom, I have learned a lot about that man. I truly believe that, though he is very strange, eccentric, and naive, he is INNOCENT. I don't care what any one else feels about this. I am not angered by opinions of any nature. However, I do like to voice my own. The funny thing is, I bought MJ's last album, and I thought it sucked. I even liked "Blood On The Dance Floor" album, but his last one was like his ticket on the late train of conforming to acceptable pop music. He had lost his magic to me. But I truly believe he hasn't yet lost his innocence. He has only had the dream of recapturing a youth that could have been. Our lives have been so dysfunctional that we could only see some eccentric acts as being criminal.. but what we don't see is that the crime is committed by one who is ignorant to that understanding. I believe that, in his mind, he is a 13-year-old boy when it comes to some things. Let's face it. Michael has been a public icon almost since the day he popped out of his mommy. Have you been such? Doubt it. And everyone seems so eager to lay the smack-down on him. It's ironic to me.. because I've dealt with sex-offenders in my life... MJ is pretty much a blame icon, thus relieving the guilt of the "real" people in the world who need the help.. or.. imprisonment.. as it may be. Well, la la la... THOSE ARE MY THOUGHTS! I honestly am not offended by opposing opinions. What would the world be without them? BORING. ~Jen
RasMasta	Date: November 28, 2003 @ 10:25 AM They should leave him alone.
GeneHilbert	Date: November 28, 2003 @ 4:02 PM Harsh as I may seem...... I have also been a MJ fan long before most here were born........ I've seem him develop from a very adorable kid of hansom young man to a middle age white woman to some creature that now more closely resembles the "Cat In The Hat”. Eccentric, weird, but definitely not ignorant or naive. But..... I'll tell you this. A 45 year old man in a bed with a child, all night at his house alone, of any sex that is not their child is "Fucked Up". Red flags should going off everywhere........ I also think the parents should also be held accountable in this.
GMANgerald	Date: November 28, 2003 @ 5:18 PM I've been listening to Mike & his Family's music since the age of 4.I'm two years younger than Mike and (Musically) I've known him & his family all my life. I believe Mike is innocent until proven guilty thru the courts of law Therein. I cannot believe nor accept an Extremely Gifted individual and highly intelligent middle aged man of his stature sexually harm a sick child with cancer! I don't see the logic in that!Furthermore, the previous charges Mike had against him some years ago that was settled in my opinion, was not as detremental as opposed.As we all grow up in these days in time we all encounter some forms of Travesties and Tragedies that may affect us and/or someone we love or lost.Good or Bad we deal with it and move on, We also know as we grow we'll always know and have someone in our lives who competes with the livelyhood we each choose for a living. We will always have someone in our lives who will love us,hate us, admire us,jealous of us,and all of the above...But that's cool because we accept the facts and we deal with them and move on! Their is some literature I checked out Titled "Rules for Being Human" I will share the sixth paragraph with you. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself. When tempted to criticize others, ask yourself why you feel so strongly. Micheal Jackson has, already,in his life time took our spirits of musical Being to a positive & pervasive level. Everyone has a right to their own opinions,let's not pre-judge him, give him the chance to prove what he is and is not. PEACE Micheal, GMANgerald
Arthen	Date: November 29, 2003 @ 4:04 AM I second Gman's idea about Rules for Being A Human. And how come everyone seems to be concerned more about a musician's personal life than his music? We all have our own personal lives and believe me, there are some of us out there who has done worse things or has alot more shameless things going on just like any other person, only good thing is we don't have the misfortune of having the god damned paparazzi on our asses to tell the whole fucking world about how we should be leading our lives. I can see past the media. The media dun make no shit difference. Artists, famous or not, are just like the rest of us. In fact, being famous in this particular sense only makes it a whole lot worse. Here we are gossiping about other pple and talking so much about how they should be leading their lives but what about ourselves? If that is how we are talking about famous pple out there, imagine the normal laymen saying this about US. "those stupid independent so-called musicians...why don't they just give it up?? Get a real job and fuck your dreams if u have not enough talent and determination man. What's all that bullshit about "living your dreams", Grow up." Wouldn't you feel like "hey who the fuck are u to tell me what to do? can u even achieve what i've done in the first place?" It all works in relatively one way to another. Like what Gman said, REFLECT upon yourself before intruding unto other pple's lives. Don't give some fucked up excuse like "ohh i'm just expressing my opinion". That phrase has been overused and over abused. Which is why there are so many misunderstandings all over in the world. As much of your right to express yourself, don't just come and blatantly do it all comfortably. Reflect on yourself first before thinking that u're great enough to expect how others should be living their lives. And don't forget, your "opinions" are based on yourself, morals u've learned, the way u grew up, the way your parents brought u up, the things u were fortunate enough to experience. Others do not have that much previledges and many, many, many factors, both inevitable and complex, play huge parts and reasons in the way circumstances and situations are brought together. So before you jump into your "opinion", think harder and ponder.
