FUCK Michael Jackson
There's one less child molester in the world today, and we're all going to be assaulted by memorial retrospective teevee specials about it for the next month. Michael Jackson is dead. And good riddance to the batshit crazy pedophile. Fuck him.
And fuck everyone who's driveling on about how "tragic" it is, and how sad they are, and how it's like their childhood died today. And screw the folks simpering about his poor, poor children who have to grow up without him … they're better off. I'm relieved for them. Of course they'll be sad and all, but maybe they'll be able to finish growing up surrounded by a little less crazy now. Maybe they'll be able to go out in public without masks on now … and get into some good therapy before they're permanently mentally fucked like their so-called dad (who is the only black man on earth who could "father" multiple white children, blonde mom or not).
And yeah, yeah, yeah, I know he was acquitted at his child molestation trial. Puh-leeeeeze. OJ was acquitted at his murder trial too, and how many people believe that means he's innocent? Seriously, grown men do not share their beds with little kids unless they're fathers and one of their own kids had a nightmare and came to sleep with mommy & daddy where it's safe. However, wronged people do shut the fuck up about things if very very rich people offer to buy their silence at the right price.
Seriously, even Jacko himself is probably better off dead, and I don't mean that in the "he's in a better place now" sort of way. I mean that as in utter and complete eternal oblivion (which is what I pretty much expect death to be) is preferable to living his life. The guy wasn't just "not firing on all cylinders" … he was trying to drag race with a seized engine and a gas tank full of coffee. His mind didn't exist on the same plane of reality as the rest of the world. Nobody who lives a happy and fulfilled life could possibly let a plastic surgeon turn them into a fucking sideshow freak like good ol' MJ did.
If he'd kicked off after Thriller came out, or maybe one album afterward, I might have been bummed. "Oh, the lost talent! Woe is humanity!" But the sad fact is that Michael Jackson lived long enough to turn into a miserable, deformed lunatic child molester. Big fucking loss to humanity. It's seriously not worth totally clogging the internet over. Wasn't there something important going on somewhere? Like maybe Iran or something?
Hah! I just said the same thing about his kids… maybe they now have a shot of being normal. Although, from my experience (former child protective caseworker), they're pretty much fucked. You don't live with crazy that close for that long and not be twisted by it. Think about it… THEY HAD TO WEAR BLANKETS OVER THEIR HEADS IN PUBLIC! My mother gave me a bad home perm when I was a kid and made me go to school and I'm STILL traumatized by that! Just think about what they know as "normal."
He was a talented guy back in the day, but he became no better than any of those priests, little league coaches or boy scout troop leaders who liked to diddle kids.
25th June 2009 at 7:09 pm | permalink |Former child protective caseworker? Wow. You win the "Most Depressing Job" prize right there.
And yeah, sadly the kids are probably permanently bent already. But they have way better odds of getting enough perspective on the world to try to straighten their heads out as best they can.
I should also start taking bets on which one is going to release the tell-all book on the 10th anniversary of his death.

26th June 2009 at 12:42 am | permalink |Ooh. The video was excellent. lol And under "related features" I found a lovely outraged TV news piece about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_B0nirkNuY
hee!
26th June 2009 at 12:44 am | permalink |Yes, the vitriolic and heavily ironic response. Today Tonight is not a news program by any means, and is often the target of Chaser satire. Huge bone to pick, much? The funny thing was they could not find a vox-pop of a person on the street who objected to it, so the only non pseudo-celebrity that appeared turned out to be a TT staffer.
I loved the way they managed to get in the whole song in their rant.
26th June 2009 at 4:40 am | permalink |But anyway, segueing back to the point at hand. Fuck MJ. Great music (Thanks Quincy), pity he was a loony (alleged) kiddie fiddler. Sad for his family's loss sure, but if I had a vote on the deification he's about to receive it would be a resounding no.

26th June 2009 at 7:37 am | permalink |Also, can't wait to see what urchins and barnacles come out of the woodwork to make claims to his estate (e.g., debt).
26th June 2009 at 8:20 am | permalink |"A Current Affair" == Bill O'Reilly; ergo, it is total shit.
26th June 2009 at 8:23 am | permalink |@MattG & grimbles: OK, maybe "news" was too strong a word. hehe … but yeah, very amusing how no "common folk" were out picketing anything over it.
@Becca: I can't wait for it to disappear off the fucking radio, internet & newspapers (and thank GOD I don't own a TV).
@bennie: Not to mention Prince seems slightly less utterly batshit crazy than ol MJ.

I love Jon Lajoie.
28th June 2009 at 10:24 am | permalink |Srsly. I am so sick of hearing people whine and bitch and complain as though he were part of their family. When I say I think he was guilty and I'm glad he's dead, people give me the stinkeye. Like I said to my boyfriend last night- anyone can get acquitted of anything if they have enough money.
And leaving his family with about $400 million in debt? Fabulous. Maybe if he wasn't running a child molestation fucking THEME PARK in his backyard with complimentary zoo [after which you could pet MJ's actual lizard]….

29th June 2009 at 4:16 pm | permalink |If there's a hereafter, I hope the guy finds more peace than he seemed to in this life. He was absolute proof that money doesn't buy happiness & power corrupts.
29th June 2009 at 5:44 pm | permalink |@ab "he was trying to drag race with a seized engine and a gas tank full of coffee" one of the funniest lines I've heard in a while, I'm gonna steal it.
when it comes to mj, I'm wondering about, was he a super-freak who really built his fairy-castle because he really was a freaky child inside, or was he a pedophile ass?
30th June 2009 at 12:07 pm | permalink |Children do enjoy having sleepovers and go to amusement parks. And, parents really do like to make a lot of money suing freaks.
Yeah, I'm not convinced he was a pedophile (that's a weird choice for a bad word isn't it? literally it means child-lover, we all love children. there should be a word that translates as child-raper). But I definitely think he was perverse, in that he was so far outside the boundaries of "normal" in his interactions with kids. It's almost as if he used them as a shield against & to hide from the world at large.
30th June 2009 at 1:56 pm | permalink |I definitely think his parents, particularly his father Joe share the blame for the guy being such a defective unit. I'm crossing my fingers & hoping grandpa doesn't manage to wrest control & custody of the kids. He's already fucked up one batch, he shouldn't get a reload.
Finally!
30th June 2009 at 3:26 pm | permalink |I have looked at this site for months now,,and found nothing worth commenting on. That election in November made me sick:
Finally,, once again,, the A-cunt hits it dead on!
Yes,,this thing was a creep..and now,,it is out of our misery…
There is a God (of course).
I agree with you on a few notes, and disagree on others. Here's my two cents.
Jackson was weird. He was a weird person, plain and simple. A lot of it was due to the way his own father fucked him up when he was growing up. His father abused him and would criticize him for his looks. This inevitably led to Michael's unhealthy obsession with plastic surgery.
It may have also led to his obsession with children. Or childhood, in general. Michael didn't get a real opportunity to live his childhood. He was a star, and being a star is a 24/7 job, even for a kid.
That's why he created Neverland, did the anti-aging chamber, and quite possibly slept with children (I wasn't there, and honestly the evidence points against these claims, but I won't get into that discussion now). He wanted to preserve his childhood and actually experience it.
Of course, that's not possible, so he had kids of his own that he did strange things to. Aside from dangling them out windows, he wanted to keep them out of the public light. He did weird things like putting veils on them or making them wear masks in public.
In his eyes, that was good parenting. He understood how much it can fuck up your life being in the limelight at such a young age. Unfortunately, it fucks up your life being in public wearing a Mardi Gras mask, too.
His heart was in the right place, but as I stated, he was a weird person. He did things weirdly.
I won't say he was a bad person. He wrote good music. He was a pop culture icon and practically defined a generation. He's inspired many other artists to do great things. Maybe he was a pedophile. Maybe not.
The only thing that matters is that he's dead now. I'll respect him like I would any other dead person. What he did is in the past and can't be undone, sure (if it was done in the first place, that is).
I feel really bad for the kids, though. It seems like they really did love him, and I get the impression that the oldest one actually understood what kind of media hell Michael went through.
I agree that they're making an obnoxiously huge deal over the whole thing. Bigger than when Elvis died. I don't think the last Pope even got that kind of media attention when he died. But that's what happens when you're an icon. People give you more priority than what you may really deserve. I mean, he had two official memorials, I believe.
But this is why I don't watch the news anymore. Shit, I get more education value on current events on my Twitter stream in five minutes than I do watching a week's worth of news reports.
9th July 2009 at 2:13 pm | permalink |Well said, Joe … whether I agree with it all or not. :-)
9th July 2009 at 8:05 pm | permalink |May he melt in hell.

10th July 2009 at 7:29 pm | permalink |Way to completely dismiss the entire American justice system and everything it was founded on. Major difference between OJ and Michael as you tried to relate them? One was acquitted entirely. One was found guilty, legally.
It's a sad fucking state the world is when accusation equates to guilt. I hope you're accused of something some day that you're actually innocent of and find that nobody gives a fuck, because the mere state of being accused is accepted as irrefutable evidence of guilt.
Google all the stories of girls who cried rape only later to have been found full of shit.
22nd July 2009 at 12:11 pm | permalink |Also, Jackson made a lot of music that people dug. The pope is just a hypocrite nazi-youth twat that represents everything that sucked about the twelfth century and ass-backward mythology.
22nd July 2009 at 12:13 pm | permalink |@no: I don't know how old you were during the OJ trial, but he was acquitted too.
Actually, now that I think about it, if you're naive enough to think the justice system in the US is THAT flawless, you gotta be pretty fucking young. Or just ignorant.
22nd July 2009 at 4:54 pm | permalink |I think just ignorant, since the nazi-youth pope is the one that's still alive. Not the one whose *death* Joe was talking about.
Granted JP2 was still a bit of a tool, but at least he didn't look like Emperor Palpatine.
22nd July 2009 at 6:31 pm | permalink |@alphabitch: Amen. The US "Justice" system is so FUBAR'd that it isn't even funny.
@no: Which one was found guilty? If memory serves, Michael Jackson was acquitted for the molestation charges (the mother's story changed too many times to hold ground in court) and OJ was acquitted for murder (he played his cards right).
I think you should get your facts straight.
22nd July 2009 at 6:54 pm | permalink |The music and the news about Michael Jackson will go on indefinitely. You're in the midst of witnessing one of God's angels being elevated to the highest honor. ENJOY!!
2nd August 2009 at 4:52 pm | permalink |Next, you're going to retract every thing disgusting you have said about Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.
2nd August 2009 at 5:28 pm | permalink |Erm, if being dead of a prescription drug overdose (or bad interaction) is "the highest honor", I'll skip it. Thanks.
4th August 2009 at 8:08 pm | permalink |Amen. I can respect Jackson for the artist he was, but there was nothing honorable with his death.
4th August 2009 at 8:34 pm | permalink |good post; but for the record, some grown men do sleep with their kids without them having a nightmare. My son never slept with me until he turned 3. I was so against it, but as he got older I loved sleeping with him. Now he sleeps with me about 4 nights a week.
6th August 2009 at 5:40 pm | permalink |@bjb Letting your own kids sleep with you is one thing, letting your kids go over and have a slumber party with another adult is entirely another. The only two kids I know whose parents let them sleep over at other adults' houses were molested.
8th August 2009 at 1:14 am | permalink |At the same time, that's a rather blanket statement that doesn't necessarily apply to every person in the world.
Don't get me wrong. I know where you're coming from with that statement, however a personal experience does not a fact make.
There are good people out there. Not a lot of them. Some of them might be good enough human beings to sleep with somebody else's child without being sexual with the kid. Was Jackson one of them? Possibly, possibly not, we won't know for sure because he's dead.
When I was a kid, a really good friend of ours would stay the night frequently (he had abusive parents, and really didn't have much choice of survival if he didn't). Sometimes he would have nightmares and would get into bed with my parents. He was never molested.
(The sadistic punchline to this little story is that my parents never even treated me as good as they did some stranger's kid.)
8th August 2009 at 7:18 am | permalink |@Joe: Of course my personal experience with two friends does not a universal fact make… but I would also say it's different for a kid to go over to a friend's house, and climb into his parents' bed because of a nightmare than it is for an unmarried childless adult to invite kids over for sleep-together slumber parties.
No, of course kids aren't molested every time they sleep in an adult's bed. But for childless adults (which MJ was at the time of the legal case) to regularly invite children over to share their beds is just weird. And I seriously question the common sense of any parent who would let their child accept such an invitation.
9th August 2009 at 11:19 pm | permalink |wow, are you serious? michael jacksons a legend and you treat him like this? wow whoever made this horrible thing will definetly have karma. michael jackson helped the world so much like his song , we are the world or his song heal the world. listen to those songs and realize he's not a bad person. and how could he rape a litle kid when he was proved innocent? he did not rape a child, he did not give a kid beer. when you become as rich as he was and give to the earth and become a saint like michael jackson start talking. this is horrible the way you treat him like a bastard, your the bastard! the king of pop was the greatest entertainer and dancer. are you guys the greatest entertainer or the king of pop or the greatest dancer to ever live? no no your not so shutup and pick on someone who actually was charged with that stuff. cause karmas going to bite you in the butt! and just cause michael wanted to comfort kids and let them sleep in his bed doesnt ,mean that he molested them? he let them do that so they felt comforted because those kids parents didnt care about them, rest in peace michael jackson. i love you<3 your forever in my heart as the king of pop<3
24th August 2009 at 1:24 pm | permalink |Just a little primer on the US legal system, Stephieee: "Not Guilty" is not the same as "innocent". See comments regarding the OJ trial, above.
And, I don't know what the fuck his professional and artistic accomplishments have to do with it. Oh. Wait. Yes I do: NOTHING WHAT-THE-FUCK-SOEVER.

26th August 2009 at 7:47 pm | permalink |@stephieee – uuurggghh you really want to make me vomit – just because someone has produced art that is memorable does not preclude them having a dark side – in fact it makes it more likely.
I treat everyone as how I see them and given that I have never seen Michael Jackon or any member of his family – I will give him the benefit of the doubt. As you say he has never been proven guilty of any charge (but then again he has the money to pay for the best lawyers in town).
27th August 2009 at 7:23 pm | permalink |@ian: I read your first sentence and was about to agree with you, until the part where the baseless assumptions came in ("in fact it makes it more likely").
Just because somebody does some good things publicly doesn't necessarily mean they do bad things privately.
27th August 2009 at 8:13 pm | permalink |@Joe: It's quite possible to have a "dark side" without doing bad things to others. It's pretty well established that artistic people tend to have more issues with depression, addiction and the like, than the average man on the street.
27th August 2009 at 9:58 pm | permalink |You argument or rant…I wouldn't really call it a argument but anyway relies on the premise that he was a child molester. As you remember, he was acquitted multiple times. Yes, he was weird but the possibility that this could have been a money scheme by the parents is extraordinarily possible. Anyway, don't go accusing someone of something you don't know they did.
27th September 2009 at 2:35 pm | permalink |Directed towards @stephie
27th September 2009 at 2:39 pm | permalink |The fact that he was an incredible performer doesn't require him to be an incredible person. You make it sound as if because he makes good music he is a good person. My favorite artist is a drug abusing rapist, but he still makes good music and contributes quite a bit to the world. You can most definitely see the discrepancy there.
