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.

i found it funny that they put him as black, because anybody that saw him would describe him differently. also, look at his weight! 120?!?

i also think they should have made him wipe his makeup off for the photo.

user-pic

The photo is kind of a let down. I thought that we might finally see what he looked like under all the crap he uses to enhance himself. But maybe he uses some sort of industrial grade apoxy to keep that nose together making it impossible to remove. Ugh, who knows. Time to move on.

user-pic

Geeze. 120, 5'11". Who knew that Jacko had the credentials of a supermodel?

user-pic

I think he looks like that creepy '70's puppet "Madam". The one that used to be on the Hollywood Squares.

From my very funny friend, James: "Look as his lipstick--it's not even a good color!"

seems like michael jackson is on trial for making being a strange recluse and making people feel uncomfortable for pushing the limits of plastic surgery more than anything else...

user-pic

Jocelyn Wildenstein, Amanda Lepore, Mickey Rourke. What have any of those plastic surgery / botox disasters given us? Off the Wall? Thriller? The Moonwalk, fachrissake?! Let Michael go.

Its the dead Joan Crawford in a strange bait-and-switch organized by Elizabeth Taylor!
Oh crap, Gawker already posted that.

I will never again complain about how bad I look in photos after seeing the Jacko mugshot.

I gotta say this: If it acts and looks creepy, it probably *is* creepy.

i LOVE wacko jacko

He's a freaky deaky paedophile and at last he'll get his just reward, prison! As for no longer looking black, well I'd put a bullet right between his eyes, traitor! He's an abomination, he desrves the electric chair! As for those paedo blind fans of his ,they need to get a life, real soon.

Michael Jackson is a scumbag. He looks like a Chinese woman, not a white woman like everyone says. His obsession with Macaulay Culkin and other little boys is downright disgusting and unnatural. What is it with middle-aged Chinese women and young white boys these days?

Michael Jackson needs to be sent to hang out with the other wierdos like bin laden and hussein. Or shot right between the eyes. He is so wierd and freaky i dont know how anybody could like him.

FUCK OFF THIS WORLD IS GREAT, ALTHOUGH PEOPLE JUST CAN'T LEAVE SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT WELL ENOUGH ALONE NEED TO WALK AMILE IN HIS MOCCASINS. Do you think it's easy beeing him? Move on with your own worthless lives,doesthis make your worthless life worth living ? You're the fucking morons that have nothing better to do than rip on someone you all used to admire, wake up and get back to a happier time when perhaps you were worth something. Let this man finish his time on earthas a piece of history for futures to come, which is more to say than whatever it is you're doing. In 200 years no one will give a fuck. Go hang yourself, no one reaaly cares except yourself u fucking critics

user-pic

Oh my goodness,

Michael Jackson (maybe he's a fucking pedo?!)looks like his own mummy. Better get him off the hook and put him behind bars in his "never(come out again)land.!
poor guy ...

I feel sorry for the guy. It's sad that a child who could have grown up healthy grew up diseased.

user-pic

Okay....let the truth be told. Stop hating on Michael. We all know it feels good to blast the man because he is black and rich. If this was a white pop star, things would be different. Robert Blake killed his wife and yet you hear nothing. OJ was blasted for almost a year. Finally, is it not strange that the same lawyer for the other kid is this kid's lawyer...and the same DA... and why all these revelations after therapy. I smell a conspiracy for sure. Michael needs to tell everyone to kiss his ass and when this blows over stay away from everyone's kids but his own. You honestly can't help people in America. Now, if you really want to report news...Why the hell are we still in IRAQ?

user-pic

fuck this fuckeer he needs to burn in hell and get raped in his bunghole when he goes to the big house with the real boys

"I know: that evil is a man who imagines the damage he does is not damage, that evil is the act of pretending that some things do not happen or leave no mark if they do, that evil is not what remains when healing becomes possible."

Dorothy Allison

Who cares what race he is or if his mugshot is unattractive? As a survivor of sexual abuse, all I see when I look at him his someone who hurts children, someone who hurts them, then acts like the kids are crazy for seeking out help. I feel deeply sorry for any children who have been hurt by that man.

user-pic

To the people that have no respect for this man and just feel like blasting him: Get fucking lives.

Are you the King of Pop? Have you sold millions upon millions of albums? Have you made your own sucess? I didn't think so. So back the fuck off!

Just because he got obsessed with plastic surgery and went way overboard, and is now paying back for that mistake, is none of your fucking business! Care about your fucking self and ask what you can do to make this world better. The Man In The Mirror. Its you, not MJ. And here's something you should do. Listen to his songs from 'Thriller,' 'Bad,' 'Dangerous,' 'History,' and etc. Now tell me, after listening to "Man In The Mirror," "Earth Song," "Heal The World," and etc. do you think he is that bad of a person. His songs are inspirational and like no other. He loves children but I truly doubt in a way he is accused. He had a childhood that would be considered sad, and now he is trying to make sure that some kids have great childhoods and not like his own. Do you think he would do ANYTHING to them if all he wants to do is make thier day a bit brighter? And he isn't an idiot, he wouldn't think that would make it brighter. Since he has kids around him all the time supposidly having 'sleepovers,' that sets him up for something like that. That is one thing that he should have seen. I grew up on Michael Jackson. I loved Michael Jackson, and I still love the old Michael. I have no idea who this Michael is, but I know the one I love is still there. I'm right at this moment watching a video I had taped back them of his top 13 music videos. 'Dirty Diana' was just played, my favorite personally. Now 'Black or White.' Very good song. I wish you people would get off Michael's back. I don't care about his appearance now, and I believe he is innocent and none of this is deserved. All you people just back off and let it run its course. If you use to like MJ's old work, you still do. Don't denie it. And if you don't know much of it... You're very deprived of something great. I hope this settles over and MJ is let go. Then he learns his lesson not to set himself up for people to do false accusations such as this and stuff such as what I've read here is said about him.

Thanks to all fans who have kept with me and believe in me. To all the haters out there please don’t be hatin. you don’t know what its like to buy a giraffe or a monkey. Not to mention you don’t have to pay out of court settlements to zoo animals. If only you knew how difficult my life is. :( Peace out.

Witch hunt?

I believe that if Michael Jackson truly did not want people to think of him as a pedophile, then he would not have these "kiddie sleepoevers". He, better than anyone, should know that every move he makes is in the public eye. Why would he jeoporadize his entire career and whats left of his reputation? But on the other hand, he may be smart enough to know that people will think that and he can defend himself by saying that people just want his money. If it is not true, then I feel truly sorry for him. But in all honestly, I believe he did it to himself.

user-pic

all the negros who defend michael jackson must have been inbred. just because he's black((HA HA) he's not quilty? OJ OJ OJ

Alrite all those hater better leave him alone, would u like it if your life is put under the scope all the time? Would anyone care if it was any other ppl who did what he did? Racist is what you all are.... what the fuck is the thing abt chinese woman? if you cant tell by reading your post that you are racist the u can go phuck yourself.

MICHAEL IS ONLY HUMAN LIKE YOU AND I DON'T HATE HIM BECAUSE OF THE PERSON HE IS.HATE YOURSELF FOR THINKING YOU CAN JUDGE SOMEOME,BECAUSE ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE HIM.I THINK HE'S INNOCENT.

While staring into the scary cool mug shot I am reminded that I see media and fucking governmental power diverting public attention from the issue of Iraq. Then, not appreciating being played for a crump, I get a paranoid, defensive attitude and decide it best to assume the worst case senartio, that being that the timing of the Jackson issue is more than coincidence, deverting attention from Iraq. That is where my son, Mathew, is presently stationed. He is in the army. So it's personal. First they insult my intellence with their self-serving Michael Jackson persecution carnival. Then they purport the veiw that this subject is more important than the issue of possibly killing my kid or your kid in a daily Russian Roulette game. Now, I'm PISSED!

So, you take the picture of the mugshot, and modify it into 3 copies total, withvariation on the mouth, so as if to be talking.
Then, in a frame 1 of 3 frames total, you place Michael Jackson's pitiful mugshot # 1 and a text caption something like, "Yes, it's true. There has been some abuse. Some young people have been abused. Quite a few,I regret."

Now, make a frame 2 with a mugshot with variation on the lips and accompanying text as: " I've tried to get it under control, but, it's been difficult, especially since it's not really all my fault. Our young boys and girls are suffering abuses. Our finest, the future leaders of tommorrow, which are ourcountry's most valuable natural resource, are being systematically placed in harms' way."

Now make a Frame 3. Use another mugshot copies with another version of the modified mouth saying "They have been trapped in a Virtual Reality game called "DUCK SHOOT", with no means of defense. This game has been created by the famous game designer, George " Weapons of Mass Destruction" Bush. It is staged in the killing zones of Iraq. Randomly, some of them are killed each and every day, with no posable end in sight."

Then Michael refects in thought, "Humm.. So why's everybody so interested in my personal life? Which is the greater evil, the larger total damage? Could it be that I'm being used as an intentional distraction from the real child abuse now being perpetrated by Our Supreme Master Dominatrix of Child Abuse, Torchure and Snuff films, George "John Holmes" Bush ? " Humm... FUCK YOU GEORGE BUSH. Stop that child abuse right now or I'm going to tell mommy."

All I want to say is innocent until proven guilty. Lay off him whether he is guilty or not this westernized society is pathetic. Care about reporting news about celebrity lives rather than real world issues that are out there! We are all human shit happens get over it!

I thought he had the makeup actually fused into his face so that he could never take it off - because it is a law to take off your makeup for a mugshot.

To Mike Whalen: "..a little different.."???
That's the best laugh I've had all day! Thanks for that!

To Marilyn: "..blast the man because he is black and rich."
Pardon me if I am wrong, but I believe that molesting a child is against the law, no matter what color you are or how much money you have.
Give the race issue a rest, for God's sake, and everyone else's, give it a rest already.

To Amanda in Mich: Nobody, I mean NOBODY ever has a perfect childhood. I know many people who had a particularly bad childhood. NONE of them are child molesters, nor have any of them ever been accused of such an atrocity. So.....sorry! Your excuse for Michael Jackson doesn't fly. Thanks for playing...Try again. Next...

To Wacko Jacko: www.dictionary.com
Use it.

To Cosmicgirl: First, get a new name. No one is going to take "cosmicgirl" seriously.
Second, if Western (not "westernized", see above website address) society is so pathetic, then please leave. This "pathetic" society allows you to exercise Freedom of Speech when you post on this website. That freedom is found in this country ONLY. Cherish it, relish it, take a bath in it, whatever. But, don't forget it.
Third, the following are examples of when you may say, "shit happens":
you step in a puddle
you burn a batch of cookies
you get a runner in your new stockings
you don't hit the lottery
Do you see "molest a child" on that list?
I don't think so...

To ANYONE AND EVERYONE THAT MENTIONED IRAQ IN YOUR POST:
If you have a friend or loved one in Iraq, my thoughts are with them.
However, YOU should be writing to your Congressman, not writing (hypocritical) posts about how stupid it is to write posts about Michael Jackson.

Lets get this sick freak out of societys eyes and behind bars where he truly belongs, and get on with the real issues that need to be dealt with! We have high school graduates who cannot make change from a cash register- even when it tells them the amount to return. YET they know all the lyrics to this maggots songs??????? This issue about jackson is none other than a deterrent to bigger problems at hand here at home in the USA. I PROMISE all of you that there is something MUCH bigger going on elsewhere while we are all dwelling on this paedophile. Just remember one thing here- Manson and Dalmer have HUGE fan clubs also. Mark David Chapman will be released in 2004 after putting 4 bullits in the back of John Lennon. Only sentenced to 20 years for his crime? Maybe jackon should walk and sue the 12 year old for all the embarrasment caused to his name? Lets put this trash in the dumpster and get our youths back on track NOW- if not yesterday! I pity the idiots who actually feel anything for this scumbag. His fame and fortune merely state that there are enough vulnerable fools still blinded by influence. Try this once--- watch television without the sound turned up. What do you see now? Who needs to get a life????? Hmmmmmmmmm........

user-pic

You guys all suck. Leave Michael Jackson alone. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law - not tried and convicted in the press.

And whoever said that you HAVE to take makeup off? Thats not true - you have to look like you do every day. Jackson has to wear makeup to cover a skin disorder. Do some research before making ignorant comments, idiot.

user-pic

Amanda--- YOU have to be the most brainwashed fool on this forum! I feel sorry for the "sheep" like yourself-- I mean this sincerely here Amanda! Ever heard of a wolf in sheeps clothing? Have you any idea how many parents have been paid off to keep your idol out of prison? Even if he does get off of these latest charges, he's all done-PERIOD!!! Get used to this fact immediately Amanda. I suggest you get a plane ticket and go for a few rides at his amusement park before it gets confiscated for more evidence to be used against him by other molested victims in the near future. Yep Amanda----- the "cat's out of the bag". While you are worshipping this twisted little fuck, do some research and see how he fucked over Paul McCartney and the Beatles with his greed for the almighty dollar. By the way- How old are you anyways????? (mentally that is.)

To AJ ::: If you think that you presumed innocent in a court of law in America, YOU better take a damn close look at the gold fringe around the flag in every courtroom. Get on ANY search engine and simply type in: Fringed flag. You are in a military tribunal under British Admirality law. GUILTY until YOU prove you are innocent! He's going under AJ- get used to this fact NOW!

user-pic

Sadly, he is a predatory paedophile, an (or was) untouchable icon and a member of psuedo-American royalty. A testament on the terrible power of celebrity. Im a fuckin Jacko fan but im not a fool, what will it take for you dumb yank fans to see the truth? We love you Michael x ha ha

user-pic

I'm not a fan, nor a hater. I have no idea what this guy has done because really I don't know him. I DO see that he has some major insecurities he tried to fix through cosmetic surgury and took it entirely overboard. He definitely has some issues there and I really feel sorry for him in that department as I'm sure he isn't proud of himself and apparently never has been. And his smothering affection for kids seems pretty strange too, but I can't say for certain that it makes somebody a pedophile. If he IS a pedophile, I certainly don't blame the children who are victims. I sympathize with the awful trauma they may have endured. HOWEVER, every time this story comes up in the news, I can't imagine what type of lousy parent would knowingly allow their child to be alone with anybody previously accused of child molestation. Guilty? Not guilty? I do not know. But I wonder what kind of sick parent would knowingly risk their child's wellbeing. I can only imagine them as self-serving greedy ones who hope to start a lawsuit after something happens to their child. (or maybe even after something doesn't happen...?) In any case, those parents are a disgrace.

user-pic

Tell, me, how many of you who are slagging Michael off actually know the man personally? Does he have you on speed dial? Does he call you at home?
No?
I thought so.
So then, In that case, STOP FUCKING JUDGING SOMEONE WHOM YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!

If any of you ignoramus's had ever read further into the case than what bloody tabloids deliver (ninety four percent is absolute bullshit I assure you) THEN maybe you would be in a position to make up your own mind. But none of you have or you wouldn't keep bitching about facts that are so obviously overused and exaggerated.

Also, who cares what he looks like? In case you haven't noticed he is not trying to be a model, he is in the MUSIC industry. And if the world were right, then what you look like wouldn't matter, so all you saying how he looks like a woman some equally hilarious overused "insult" you have all just proved how sad, shallow and deluded you are. If you all were not acting like such dickheads I'd feel sorry for you.

Do you look into every single case of child abuse and hate the abuser as much as you ae hatinfg Michael? NO, of course you dont. You just want a reason to hate someone so talented and succesful. And that is sad. Get a life, grow up and put all you teenage anger into something worthy.

So MJ settled outta court 10 yrs ago the first time he was accused of this shit,right? Well seems to me that if someone did those things to one of my kids, no money would be enough. I wouldn't rest till the individual was locked away forever. Therefore sounds like to me those parents were after some money and they got it. If MJ was doing those "acts" with children 10 yrs ago don't you think he would stopped the sleepovers after the first accusation arose? No he didnt because there was nothing bad going on. He is odd, but who's normal? I feel he's being targeted and that innocence will prevail. Michael Jackson has done more good in this world than probably all of us put together. The good he's done and the money he's donated is all documented its out there and we should never forget it. I believe you Michael.

Innocent untill proven otherwise. Whatelse needs to be said?? Really! (NOTHING) Their's could be a million reasons why Mike act's the way he does or don't and he's not gonna change his lifestyle to please the media- would you?

user-pic

Regardless of if you like him or not and regardless why he looks like a white woman
and regardless of ALL of that, how can a person look innocent when they PURPOSELY spent days at a time behind closed doors with under aged boys and have also admitted to sleeping in the same bed with them. Oh yes we dont KNOW if anything untowards happened , but for all of you women that want to defend him so badly , I wanna see your ass justify your husbands staying in motel all night on a trip with a female coworker and see how innocent you presume HIM to be!
Face it, the weight of the evidence so far doesnt look to hot and if Mr Jackson IS innocent and is proved so it would be in HIS best interest to start acting his age!!!!!

I personally hope the boys in the cell block a$$ f**** this man(?) for the entire time his is in prison and show him the meaning of the word VIOLATION! I dont care WHO you are or how rich you are or what excuse you have for trying to look like Diana Ross on acid, you have NO right molesting small children !!!!!!!!!!!!

Just like a jury trial...... Let the 12 majority rule on this freaks future fate! He is sick, and beyond any help available! Just picture that little white ass doing the "moonwalk" in cellblock #9 shower! For the very first time he will get a chance to experience being a "receiver" rather than the "pitcher". Anyone jealous of this scumbags fame and fortune should spend a night in his bed alone with him. It won't be long and we'll all see his assets on ebay up for grabs to the highest and most stupid bidders out there. I don't suspect that they will be 12 year old boys trying to catch a piece of the fallen stars wardrobe though! Go ahead and feel sorry for him if you care to. I have friends in prison for LIFE because of a parole violation. They got caught with ONE JOYNT and nothing more! Life without parole for this crime against society?????????? Maybe we should forgive michael and turn him loose in society IF he promises to become a priest! Yep- now that's justise in Amerika

Geezus this dood looks funny! He's deffinately going to be someone's bitch in the big house. I feel sorry for him. But as for the only man in history who successfully transformed himself from a black man to a white woman (or chinese woman as some have said), you gotta cut him a little slack. I'd be pretty fucked up in the head too if i looked like that... even moreso knowing that i shifted on my own free will.

Still doesn't give the sick fuck any reason to sleep with little boys in his bed. For that, he deserves to get locked up and dubbed the bitch of the 350 pound big black dude named Bubba. Mr. Jackson will be singing "Beat It" on a regular basis everytime Bubba wants to do the prison dance in the shower room. And after it's all done, he'll be singing "Heal The World" to sooth the pain of his flaming rectum.

Poor Michael... He should have switched to metal years ago when he first became a rage of bottled up emotional negativity. Then again, i doubt our hero would have any balls in his screams, so perhaps he was in the right to stick with gay ass pop music.

I'm sorry I wrote so much. I'm a regular sharp-shooter. Farewell!

Yeah Michael might be anything you might say who cares all people are different and get away with it. Like a person at my school she has really bad tempers and hits people but gets away with it and she knows what she does, and so does Michael. People also really criticise him for everything but deep down he must really feel bad because of what he does, like he goes on a plane over the world to see really sick children and to me that is a REALLY NICE PERSON!

IT WORKS BOTH WAYS, IF HE DIDN'T HAVE $$$$ HE WOULD BE SOMEONES SHOWER PARTNER RIGHT NOW, HE GETS TO GO TO EUROPE, I'LL BET HE DOESN'T RETURN.

WHAT A PHONEY PIECE OF LYING GARBAGE, HIS CELEBRITY HAS KEPT HIM OUT OF PRISON, WHY DOESN'T HE GET A REAL JOB AND PUT IN HIS 40+ HOURS A WEEK LIKE THE REST OF US? WHAT A QUEER BASTARD! HE IS THE WHITE NEGRO I'VE EVER SEEN. INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IS USUALLY THE NORM, HOWEVER IT IS A FACT THAT JACKO LOVES TO BE WITH LITTLE BOYS, PRETTY STRANGE FOR A 45 YEAR OLD MAN, DON'T YOU THINK? THERE HAVE BEEN ALLEGATIONS IN THE PAST WHICH HE FONDLED CHILDREN, BUT HE COULD BUY HIS WAY OUT! WHY DOES HE HAVE A SECRET ROOM FOR SLEEP OVER GUESTS, ISN'T IT STRANGE THAT HE SLEEPS WITH LITTLE BOYS, WHICH HE HAS ADMITTED, HE IS GUILTY BASED ON PAST HISTORY ON SHOULD BE PUNISHED.

One thing that I am gathering from some of your posts is hate and jealousy. If he did it, he does need to pay and be resposible. Nobody that has posted is God. It is soo odd that as soon as there is a claim, you all are ready to jump on the bandwagon and say how you know he did it. If someone were to come forth with evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that he did NOT do it, aside from those who would go to your grave saying he did it, the rest of you would be back to being a fan again. Michael needs help, to think that SLEEPING in the same bed with children is ok, even if nothing sexual happens, he needs help. But I've known that for some time now. You people are the same ones that screamed cricify him, when it was Jesus being sentenced. (Before someone writes saying that Michael Jackson is not Jesus, you know that's not my point) Even when you know that there's a major chance that he did not do it, you still say he did it, before you even know what's really going on. I hope that Michael Jackson is strong and I pray that he doesnt do something like commit suicide, Lord knows that would make you peoples day. "He must have done it because he felt guilty", I can hear you now. I wish he had the presence of mind to think about how the world views things. The world is soo perverted and sexual, you cant sleep in the same bed with children, period, thats just it. And the person who interviewed him and smiled in his face, should also be praying for Michael. HE NEEDS HELP. I hope that he is able to continue his life with his family, but people are not going to rest until this black man is finished. Point blank. Those who have been in situations where they were molested or raped, why are you acting as if everyone accused is guilty? You are very much a victim, dont get me wrong, and anyone who commits these crimes against another person should pay. But, I dont know about anybody else,but I wasnt there. Who was? Exactly. Like I said, If he did it, he needs to be punished. No matter what though, he should still seek help. Thank God I'm not in his shoes, it must be the worst feeling in the world to have people smiling in your face one day and the next, they hate you, without any kind of "Amazing" evidence that supposedly exists. I think that if this evidence did exist, dont you think we would know about it. Black men, leave their women alone and dont be nice to the kids. It doesnt pay. Keep your stuff to yourself and your wife just because someone is loose and willing to give it up doesnt mean the wont cry rape. It was not planned that you would be as sucessful as you have, and people are going to try to take it away from you. Please be smart! You are the Emmit Tills of today. Dont start skinnin and grinnin just yet. We've come a long way but there's still a long way ahead. None of us will see the day that things change. That "change" is soo far in the future.

Michael Jackson is the greatest living entertainer hands down. That Paul Mcanrney of the Beatles, who are they???. Everyone in the world knows who MJ is, even people in China. MJ Is Great. Dump the jealousy and get over it.

Hey JADA, you are an ASSHOLE! Get with it moron! Michael Jackson is not Jesus, he's a perv with lots of cash to help him out. You must not have children because if you did than you would understand that it is not OK for a grown man to sleep with children in the same bed. I am disgusted by the fact that since Jacko has money like OJ he will get away with it! The BUCKS talk.
It not a race issue, it's the fact that this frickin' WACKO is still loose. As for as being popular, look at the poor quality of todays entertainment, there are no new ideas, it all recycled TV shows from the 60's or remakes of old movies or redubbing old songs.

I think Michael Jackson is a very talented and inspirational man. If he did do the things he was accused of, he should go and hang himself, but if he didn't (Which, i might remind you, that no one has proof that he really did) then you people should get lives and learn the saying: Innocent until proven guilty. If anyone in here (exept for the people who said the above quote) ever becomes a lawyer, all I can say is this: We're all gunna lose a lot of money on you guys

-Keez

Michael Jackson is a fucking wacko! Even if he didnt have sex with those kids, for a 45 year old man to sleep with other peoples children is just wrong!

I watched an interview that he did, and I will always think of one line that suits him VERY well. "You're a multi-billionaire! You can't afford another bed?" I completly agree!

Whats with people going on about MJ's life.. Oh if we had his life, we'd be fucked up too.. it's not his fault, he had a bad childhood. Well holy shit, he;s been making his own decisions for about 30 years now, it's nobody's fault but his that he is the way he is. He chooses to do the things he does, nobody makes him, and no amount of strange childhood can take away from the fact that MJ is a sentient, decision making man who, if he chose to, could educate himself about how society works.

He doesn't tho. He'd rather insulate himself, and thats his choice. But i fail to see how he can bitch and moan about the consequences of doing so.

I can't believe this. Stop blaming the children. No 45 year old man sleeps with little boys or would want to. It's not a black or white issue. You speak of Robert Blake. Name me one white person who came forward to say he was not guilty. We don't stick up for bad people, just because there white. Bad is bad...

He's a sick man. Parents are not coming forward because they think they will get into trouble. So I give this mother allot of credit for going after him.

Again it's not about how bad his childhood was. It's not about him being black. He's not anymore.
It's about a man who likes little boys.

What grown man wants to sleep with little boys at a sleep over. He's sick. I hope they get him this time...

You guys really need to get your head out of the gutter. Michael Jackson is a good person. I mean he's donated so much money to charities of all causes and I think the recent allegations are bullshit. I'm not saying this just as a fan but it's just like the last time he was accused (THERES NO EVIDENCE) He's definetly a weird guy but look at all the people he's influenced ( Justin Timberlake, Genuine, Usher, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, Destiny's Child they would'nt be around if it was'nt for him. Think about it if it was'nt for him there would'nt even be back-up dancers and that effects preety muck everyone. He's a dance and music genious and he's sold 250,000,000 records. I'm telling you I used to think the same about him until I bought his cd's and since then I'm a lifelong fan. Grow up and leave the guy alone. The more you bicker about him makes you look so immature and stupid.

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!

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.

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.

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.

With the exception of Jesus, Michael Jackson is the most famous name of all history!
Regardless of what people are famous for (leaders, entertainers, etc), MJ is still the most well known name around the globe and he will be forever. I don't think that any of us will ever witness in our lifetime someone make the impact that MJ has made.

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.

user-pic

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!

user-pic

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!

user-pic

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

user-pic

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!

user-pic

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.

user-pic

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.

user-pic

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!

user-pic

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...
