Requisite Michael Jackson Mugshot Post

Michael Jackson's mug shot; Photo from AP

Just when you thought you were tired of Michael Jackson, he becomes interesting again. Admit it – there could not be a more insane mugshot picture; he sort of looks like a comic book villain, like the Joker [as suggested by friend JW]. He's Bad! He's Dangerous! This is a Thriller! He's Off the Wall! And as Gawker notes, all the Michael Jackson jokes were written 10 years ago ("Do You Remember The Time [insert bizarre MJ incident here]?"

All Michael Jackson news from Google News.

Someone groused that the media attention away from world news to Michael Jackson was part of a rightwing conspiracy. Instead of hearing about British protesters denouncing Bush, we're getting 24-7 Michael. Gothamist says maybe so, but then the news media is playing right into their hands because MJ is ratings gold.

    where is michael jackson presently

  • Miquel

    I wish posts about real news could generate 100 comments. Good to know so many people have thoughts to share...about shit that DOES NOT MATTER.

    Is empathy dead, btw? I mean, ALL those kids had a fucked up childhood. Where were those of you who seem to want to protect kids when he was being psychologically tortured by his father?

    Hypocrites...

    I stuck with him throughout!

    Although shcoked at first that he could be doing what was claimed, I saw through that family very quickly!

    Hard-core lairs! Michael is free, and he should press charges against them! THEY should get the electric chair!

    MJ was sent by God to show the world the futility of worshipping fallen images. MJ is among the most incredible entertainers to grace this earth in the vein of Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Truly the greatest musical force in the history of music but what good is it to worship a man who was destined to fall as he began to worship himself? MJ is hellbound unless he repents. Pray for his salvation but don't worship him.

    HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!



    For all you people that let your own hatred and foolishness blind you, I just wanted to say that MJ IS HAVING THE LAST LAUGH NOW!

    When the accusations broke, you people decided to trust your own misconceptions and Michael Jacksons media-created bad image, instead of committing to finding out the truth behind the case.

    I followed the case by reading through transcripts of the events in court as they were released, and all I can say is there was NEVER any way that Michael Jackson was going to get put in jail.

    There was NO EVIDENCE to suggest that a crime as committed

    The other ‘victims’ put on the stand backed MJ all the way.

    Debbie Rowe backed MJ all the way

    The mother of the kid was a scheming, money-grabbing fool, and that shone through during the trial.

    She was proven o have CONNED money out of the POLICE department, CHARITIES AND CELEBRITIES!

    Anyway, enough from me except to say,

    I hope you all enjoy your resentful, hate-filled lives.

    i can't believe someone would attempt to defend that twisted monster jackson by posting all the crap he produced.

    big deal, he is still a fucking pedophile queer who should be locked up with a bunch of musclebound fags that will buttfuck him to death!

  • John Callaghan

    he looks like the childcatcher in 'chitty chitty bang bang '

  • Anna T

    No, no, no. These tiring defenses that Michael is "just a little different, have you no tolerance?" OR "isn't he innocent until proven guilty" just don't work anymore.

    A line has to be drawn between what is "a different way of life" versus what is "a perversion." Anything involving sex and minors is a perversion. Of course, the perverts themselves will draw the line different from the rest of us BUT the general sense in America is CLEARLY that what MJ is accused of, oversteps the bounds and is in Cloud Pervert Land.

    Which brings us to the question of whather he's innocent or guilty. My friends, we now live in an age where the average Joe can acquire a huge body of information and evidence about a case even if they aren't sitting in court. PLUS the average Joe isn't a conniving devious lawyer looking for a legal loophole to get their client off! Thus, there's something to be said for judgement by the public.

    From that standpoint, MJ's career is finished; his reputation is ruined; he has already been judged guilty by the public, and that's ultimately the final judgement here on earth. God knows we've seen enough corroborating evidence (strange that after a decade, a second boy writes SUCH similar experiences as the first boy, which corroborates EXACTLY into MJ's own stated viewpoints on camera. Yes, yes, MJ may get off on legal technicalities and kudos to his lawyers if they can manage it. But anyone with a lick of sense and logic can put the pieces together here, after reading the depositions already in the public domain. Let's not forget that we live in a judicial environment where people are often convicted on the basis of circumstantial evidence alone AND THAT IS ACCEPTED.

    But irrespective of what the end result is from a legal standpoint, MJ has been judged guilty in the eyes of average Americans on the basis of quite a number of pieces of evidence. He is already scorned not just by a few, but by the vast majority of Americans, judging from the polls. AND THUS: The most important trial in MJ's life is ALREADY over!

    REMEMBER, THERE IS SOMETHING NOT RIGHT ABOUT SOMEONE WHO LIKES TO SLEEP WITH LITTLE BOYS. I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE. HIS WHOLE LIFESTYLE TELLS YOU THERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE GO TO SUCH EXTREMES TO TOP THE CHARTS AT WEIRD!

  • kelly

    How DARE you put michael jackson on the level of hussein or bin laden?

    what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty??

    you are a terrible human being. shooting him between the eyes?? what kind of sick person are you?

    if you believe he is guilty, obviously you only believe the media hype. michael is a prime target because hes bizarre. he admits to sleeping with children on SLEEPOVERS nothing SEXUAL! every parent who has seen him interact with their child admits that its very unlikely that these allegations are true. the media is just terrible for making up "evidence"

    he also does great things for many people across the world, great charity projects. He instituted the children's bill of rights.

  • Tim

    I am in two minds about this. If he is proved a paedophile, then I think he should be locked up for a very long time, because paedophilia can never be excused. That he may or may not be a paedophile doesn't change the fact that his music is great, and i'm sure many people will agree with me. I am a fan.

    Oh yeah...Ned, you're a prick, and all those people who hate him because he's black or because he's tried to change his appearence, you're not far behind.

    I love Mikey, I love his face. Remember kids he did that for us. Mike thought people would like him better if he looked like a white ghoulish like creature. Man i dont understand. So what if he sucked this little boys dick. He brought this kid in, fed him, brought him on the rollercoaster, climbed the trees, gave him some wine and sucked his dick. That is one hell of a host right there. Im lucky if i get a glass of grape drink at my friends house, let alone a rollercoaster ride and my dick sucked. Mikey u show those haters ur small penis and make them understand how great u r. I love Michael, like he said everyone should sleep with a little boy in their bed, its the greatest feeling in the world. I once had sex with a polar bear but its no where near as hot as a little kid like Lil Romeo or someone who hasnt even gotten sexual hormones yet. Mike u and i need to hang out and have sex with each other and brings ur kids and ill kidnap some boys too.

    Never in my life have I read such bollox! First things first, we all know the brutha ain’t a fag, period, U eva seen him with a guy? No. So stop being childish & let's just get outta the way shall we?

    Secondly have any of the haters on here actually been researching the case? Well have you? Of course not, coz you are so fucking dumb and too busy wandering around hating the world that the truth has been passing you by.

    Wake up and smell the coffee. Michael Jackson is on his way to being proved Innocent once and for all, accept it. This case is about Money and revenge. Why in under God would you want to believe he is capable of this FFS?

    Anyway I glad I am not you haters, coz the world is gonna be laughing at you when this is over, oh an BTW you haters are gonna be the first to say, "I always knew he was Innocent" after all this.

    You guys make me sick.

    Peace out homies.

  • george

    Regardless if the fag has sold a lot of albums to idiots who have no taste in music at all - one glaring point stands out: He's still a NIGGER, and a QUEER one at that!

    Kind regards,

    George Taylor

  • Dave

    130 MILLION ALBUMS SOLD IN THE 80'S

    100 MILLION ALBUMS SOLD IN THE 70'S

    124 MILLION ALBUMS SOLD IN THE 90'S

    50 MILLION ALBUMS SOLD WITHIN THE LAST FOUR YEARS!

    Hmmmm...404 million albums sold, twice as much as Elvis and the Beatles combined.

    Hmmm....anything else to say bad about him.

  • Amanda for Mich.

    Ok... I hate when people do this. Why can't we drop this? I know we a discussing, but lets not get bitchy to each other by using names. You really really don't have to do that. We're discussing something we can't help and won't agree on, its like religion or politics. Let it go.

  • Pissed

    I know one victim of paedophilia. I think Michael should be jailed for long time. This fucking moron goes and molests child. In Michaels position I would kill myself.
