Did something happen to Michael Jackson?

See, I've been away...

Sorry but me and the riding lawnmower could fit that right up. Do that a couple of times and they will knock that shiat off!

He ought to put up a sign that reads "MJ would've loved high end electronics"

He needs to be more forceful.

Dr.Knockboots: He ought to put up a sign that reads "MJ would've loved high end electronics"

And a new car.

Well, he seems like a really nice guy, putting up with all of this hoopla.

In other news, Michael Jackson's cousin opens up a new store selling teddy bears and silk flowers in Gary, IN.

Is that where he discovered boy hoods?

Let's get this out of the way early shall we.....

.....A stuffed gorilla?

If the dude had a lick of sense, he would be auctioning off "tours" of the house from all of the idiots. There's bound to be people with far more money than brains in a crowd of MJ fans. (Set the minimum bid at $1,000 and see what the market would bear on E-Bay.)

Could probably retire off what that would generate.

Family members also asked him to collect photographs placed at the makeshift memorial, he said. The rest of the items will be donated to charities.

"We want to make sure the kids get them," he said.


He seems to have a good attitude about this ridiculous situation.

The people leaving stuff profess to "love" Michael Jackson, yet they trespass and litter on property where he hasn't lived for 30+ years. The cognitive dissonance is deafening.

Step 1. fark little boys.
Step 2. Die of a heart attack.

If you're going to leave toys and stuffed animals at dead celebrity memorials that you've never met (Michael Jackson, Diana, Heath Ledger, Spencer Pratt (God willing), etc.) instead, donate them to thrift stores or orphanages where they will actually be appreciated...

If you're going to make self-righteous comments, you probably should RTFA first.

Hint: the stuff is already earmarked for charity.

Man person who currently lives owns in Michael Jackson's boyhood home is about to make some serious cash.

Agreed. Plus, he's bagging up all the "stuff" left behind and donating it to different charities. Pretty damn classy. At the very best, I'd expect him to hire some lackey to do the collecting and what not. Very impressed with this guy.

Oh, hell no. I was stuck in town during the 20th anniversary of Elvis's death, and the "candlelight vigil" was the creepiest damn thing I've ever seen. Scientologists, Moonies, Branch Davidians - they have nothing on Elvis fanatics.

If Thulsa Doom could play guitar, this would've been his crowd.

That's what the man is doing with 'em. But yeah, making some 50-year-old dude play janitor for days and protect his house from (essentially) looting is kind of dickish. He seems to be in a good humor about it, though.

That can't be Michael Jackson's cousin. The guy in the photo looks black.

Imagine the twisted irony if he were to charge people a fortune to sleep in Michael Jackson's bedroom.

The man has garage sale gold.

All he needs is a connection in a different town to sell the stuff for him.

Has anyone seen Latoya since he died? Me neither. Looks like my theory was, in fact, true.

It would be a good time to sell the property.

Because she died in 2007.

They did this with a dumpster baby at my college.
HEY IDIOTS! THOSE TOYS AND THE MONEY AND ENERGY SPENT COULD BE BETTER USED BY THE CHILDREN AT THE ABUSED FAMILY CENTER!!!
They actually stationed cops there to stop us from taking the LITTER (yes, it's litter) and giving it to the Goodwill, domestic violence center or other charity. It was out in the elements so once the sun set the animals could get at them. And it rained that week.

I wish! But the judge says that they cant come within 60 feet of where children gather.

I'd have two tables set up. One for those looking to leave gifts in remembrance, and one for people looking to buy memorabilia...

Only in America can you be born a poor black man and die a rich white woman..

So the article doesn't quite explain the arrangement there.

Does he own this home?

If so, seems like a nice guy doing this out of the goodness of his heart.

But the article calls him a caretaker. So is he actually paid to watch MJ's childhood home or live there for free under some agreement or something?

Does MJ's estate actually own this home? His quote about "Somebody's got to stay here" makes me think his job is looking after this home.

If so, he's just doing his job as a small time representative of a multi-million dollar brand.

LaToya is still alive but have you seen Sandra Bullock anywhere? That's my theory.

The Onion was on this back in 2001. "Site of fatal auto accident tritely commemorated" (new window):

Gawd this is hilarious.

Whenever people start stacking the teddy bears and mounding the flowers, I always ask wtf? I mean, I know that everybody wants to express how they think that they've been affected by something that they've heard about (as opposed to something experienced directly and personally), but I wonder if that lady with the big gorilla (see photo in the farking article) could put her money and time to better use...hell, I don't know, making a donation or volunteering with a worthwhile cause in her community or giving that gorilla to a toy drive.

This reminds me back to the weeks and months after Flight 93 went down outside of Shanksville, PA. People were coming to the site and leaving, in addition to the usual flowers and teddy bears, all manner of garbage and rubbish. One night on the news, a person representing the National Park Service said that some people were leaving stuff like old sinks and broken fridges and he said that they couldn't throw the items away (for use in a memorial later) so they were paying to store them in large containers.

Madness.

If someone dies by getting mauled by a bear, is it appropriate to leave teddy bears at the memorial?

I'm guessing most of that will be donated to thrift stores anyhow.

Unless his family decides to sell it in an auction to some obsessed fan or Todd McFarlane

I swear to God I'd pay $1000 to see him walk outside, pour gasoline all over that pile of stuffed animals, and light it on fire. Extra $500 if he then would roast a hot dog over it.

I am so tired of these idiots--the guy was a pedophile--leaving toys is like leaving cookies at jeff dahmer's grave

Soooo, where were all of these supporters when Michael was being crucified and almost bankrupted over accusations of being a child molester?

I don't recall anyone but some star friends of his standing up for him when the witch hunters were determined to hang him by his balls for a crime I seriously doubt he committed.

With all of these supporters, had they sent in $1.00 each, he would not have had to close Neverland and auction off property to pay his hideously high legal bills.

Michael was an eccentric. I do not believe he was actually a child molester. There is a real mental condition where adults have problems blending into adult society and tend to seek solace in childlike fantasies where things are simpler and nicer. They enjoy the company of children, since kids tend not to act as firmly and bluntly as adults.

Chances are, had his fans supported him more during those trying times, he might have been healthier and still be alive today.

BTW. I'm not a big fan of his work, but I found the feeding frenzy over his child molestation accusations to be disgusting and deliberately hyped for television ratings.

And wash it all down with a nice refreshing glass of Jesus Juice.

I hope the man donates the stuffed animals to charities so children can get some use from them.

Just wait 6 months, claim the 'ghost' of MJ is haunting the house, charge $100 a night for people to come and try to communicate with him.

Brilliant. Idea is patent pending. I get 90% royalties.

If I owned that place, I'd put it on the market the day Michael died. That guy could make a killing right now.

This.

Michael is Latoya.

He should sell tours of the house for $1,000 a pop. There's enough retards out there to retire on.

FTFA - Fossett said he would deliver two large posters signed by fans to the Jackson family when he travels to Los Angeles for the funeral. Family members also asked him to collect photographs placed at the makeshift memorial, he said. The rest of the items will be donated to charities.

"We want to make sure the kids get them," he said.

Nice to see some good come out of this.

I imagine, that he's probably a fairly regular guy, and it just so happens that one of the Jackson's purchased and gave the property to him. The Jackson's aren't exactly well known for taking care of their family members, but especially Michael did sure as heck do a lot of impulse things. So, he probably got the property, and does his own thing with it, like any normal person who happened to be tangentially related to a celebrity, major or minor. He probably knows the family, but he's not like right in the middle of the family.

Any rational person pretty much understands that they are going to be living in the middle of a circus in that situation for a while, if they don't properly manage it.

Good for him.

If it were my house I would not put up with that sh*t. First, I would start videoing every douchebag who tried to leave something on my property. Then I would call the cops to report them trespassing and littering. Finally, I would throw out their stupid flowers, stuffed bears, whatever within minutes of them putting it there. Hopefully soon enough for them to see me throw it away.
