Mr. Wow….all I can say is thank you.  The media has made a circus of this along with jackson and sharpton…..surprise surprise…they always show up where ever they can cry fowl or play the race card.  Now the big funeral is being planned….they probably won’t bury or have services for him for another week….and you can bet msm will have an all day event just like Princess DI.   Like he even comes close to her….but he could probably wear her fancy clothes and shoes.

I am sick of making this guy out to be such an idol to everyone…back before he turned white, yes….but he was washed up when he went weird on us and then the trial and pay offs.  He was in control of his body, so if he used drugs, then I have no pity for him.  I just pray his non-biological children are ok and don’t have problems from being raised by someone who should have never had been allowed to be a father to them.  Hanging that little baby over a balcony, naming them such strange names and covering their heads when in public was a little too much to take.  Any normal person that did that to their children, would have had CPS on them in a minute.  The first thing I hope the children do is change their names when they get older and are able to go to school and try to be a normal child again. 

Again…Mr. Wow…you nailed it!!!

Thanks Mr. Wow—-you are right about (I was going to highlight a sentence or two) but actually the entire article is right on.  He was a drug abuser, plain and simple.  Let’s hope the children will find solace and happiness.

At a wedding over the weekend, my nephew paid one of the waiters $10 to use his white glove.  He got out there on the dance floor for all the MJ songs—-waving the white glove, moonwalking—-what fun! 

OK, I have to put my two cents in:

Mr. WoW - you’re sensational. You seem to see pretty much what I do.

Except:

1 - There is no such thing a responsible drug addict, so let’s just call it what it is: he was a drug addict.

2 - I’ve got a good 10 years on Jackson and never saw his music as a work of a genius.

3 - He did NOT have a “laughably giant ego.” He was in fact very insecure - which is the result of any kid who was abused. If you saw a giant ego it was a facade.

4 - The “whispery poor pitiful-me pose” was more the real Jackson, I think, than the “giant ego.”

5 - His father Joe Jackson gets not one shred of sensitivity from me, nor does the mother. He abused the kids and mama didn’t do a thing to protect them.  The man is a leech. The wife [or ex-wife] is an enabler.

That said, PUH-LEEZE can we get back to health care, North Korea, and Iran?

Dear Mr. Wow,  Perfect post.  Right to the point.  As others have noted, many people have survived horrific childhoods and went on to flourish in adulthood and achieve healthy intimacy with other adults.  There is no denying his talent, but the truth remains that he was a tragic figure who possessed self-determination and chose not to help himself.  As to those who say that Michael Jackson never adopted his children, thus causing problems in the custody determination, his name is on the birth certificate, and that is all that matters.  Debbie Rowe physically gave birth to the children and thus is the other legal parent (of the first two) regardless of whose eggs were used.  Women who use donor eggs do not adopt the children they gestate and give birth to. Still, quite a mess.

Boxer briefs?  My favorite!
