A mob of screaming fans chased his limousine as it pulled away.

What the hell is wrong with these people. The guy is a freak.

Cerie

I don't think that we could be 100% sure if these were screaming fans or an angry mob. Very subtle differences.

I know that I wouldn't have sat near him. Lightning arcs, after all.
 
2004-08-16 03:52:52 PM
What a freak.
 
2004-08-16 03:55:24 PM
Dammit, isn't there some sort of restraining order or something?

I've never seen the dude in person, and I'm terrified of him! Those kids will be scarred for life...

Sir?

Hello? Mr. Paslow? I think there's something wrong with Mr. Paslow....
 
2004-08-16 07:06:46 PM
Why is anyone surprised? Ya know, it's not like any young boys have been hurt by the church. er.... wait
 
2004-08-16 07:08:55 PM
Wacko Jacko was just there to give the priests some tips. And maybe play with a few himself.

/I just made myself throw up a little.
 
2004-08-16 07:11:24 PM
It's all a spin job to attempt to make him look, um, normal.
Agreed the 'man' has become the poster child for 'know when to say when' about surgical enhancement.

the horror, the horror
 
2004-08-16 07:11:51 PM
Great headline. underused word: "Smiting"
 
2004-08-16 07:11:52 PM
If this isn't proof that God doesn't exist, nothing is.

/Am I being serious? I can't tell anymore...
 
2004-08-16 07:13:05 PM
damn, I thought for sure once he stepped foot into that church he would have melted on contact.

/disappointed
 
2004-08-16 07:13:26 PM
OK, at one point I heard he was quite a committed Jehovah's Witness. Is this still the case? Attending non-JW church and hanging out with guys from the Nation of Islam isn't quite the same thing...

My neighbor defends this guy. I ask him why? His reason: "I like his music."

Makes me cry.
 
2004-08-16 07:14:15 PM
Innocent until proven guilty, folks.

Now back to the fun!

a headline that claims MJ is a child molester? who is this creative mastermind poster and why isn't he rich?
 
2004-08-16 07:15:27 PM
props for the headline.

in the words of P-Unit..

"Lil' Romeo: but i gotta get out now, I best be packin'. I Got a sleepover later, down at michael jackson's."

This Just In: Jackson to bolster failing record sales by accepting church contract to train alterboys.

/nun with a ruler,...shiver... nun with a ruler...
 
2004-08-16 07:15:50 PM
Heck, maybe M.J. really is innocent.

Could happen.
 
2004-08-16 07:17:13 PM
Hasn't God already messed with MJ enough as it is? I mean, look at his face.
 
2004-08-16 07:17:31 PM
Is it just me or is his nose pointed up in that picture?
 
2004-08-16 07:17:36 PM
"To worship and see the children," he said.

dosn't any one else find this quote creepy?
 
2004-08-16 07:17:38 PM
If God can't be bothered to smite this douche bag, he is obviously not the omnipotent, omniscient, benevolent dude he is propertied to be, and thus he does not exist.

/yet another reason to be an atheist.

Perhaps you're thinking of Prince (or The Artist Formely Known thereas)?

/Is "thereas" even a word?
 
2004-08-16 07:21:17 PM
You guys are just being ign'rant.
 
2004-08-16 07:22:03 PM
Cerie, please tell me there was some kind of photoshopping on that pic.

There wasn't, was there?

I think I just borrowed Roddy Piper's sunglasses.

He has to be surrounded by "handlers" that are no doubt scrambling for safe harbour. Can he be any more obious than this? If he thinks his fame and $$$ and his success as a performer make him smarter than the rest of the world, then fine, but...nobody on his legal team would approve something as stupid as this.
 
2004-08-16 07:23:21 PM
he must be guilty. he doesn't look like us.
 
2004-08-16 07:23:45 PM
Prince was a JW, just like MJ.

Prince recently (one or two years back) gave up JW in favor of a more personal interpretation of the scripture.

MJ, as far as I know (reads the gossip rags regularly) is still a JW as is his family.
 
2004-08-16 07:25:37 PM
This guy still has fans?

I'm not sure what's freakier, Jackson himself or people who still "adore" him.
This has 'Made for TV movie' written all over it.
 
2004-08-16 07:25:51 PM
He's a freak, but he's talented.
 
2004-08-16 07:27:08 PM
At the very least he is obviously guilty of breaking the laws of nature (as evidenced by above picture.)

Put the goddamn sunglasses... on!

He might as well priest it up while he is on the outside. Because when he goes to the pound him in the arse prison he is gonna be the "little boy".

Everyone knows God doesn't smite people anymore. He uses more subtle forms of punishment, like trasnforming them into a plastic woman.
 
2004-08-16 07:37:49 PM
I wonder if they warned the parents that Jacko was coming arriving.

If I had kids, I'd definitely keep them at home that day. They'd be safe, and they wouldn't have to watch me punch him in the nads. If he indeed has any nads.
 
2004-08-16 07:37:59 PM
These screaming throngs.....are they actual fans...or people paid by the Jackson camp? Since when has his music been relevant?
 
2004-08-16 07:38:37 PM
Has he been found guilty yet?

Just wondering.
 
2004-08-16 07:44:48 PM
I wouldn't wait for a court verdict to get the kiddies out of there.
 
2004-08-16 07:45:51 PM
The_Time_Master "Has he been found guilty yet?"

No, but in my world, you don't pay someone millions of dollars if you didn't do anything.
He has way too much interest in little boys and not much interest in little girls which raises suspicion in my mind. I'm not saying he is weird so he must be guilty, but they wouldn't be after him if they didn't have something. I would definately not make a good juror for this issue.

TTM-OJ wasn't found guilty (criminal court), but do you think he did it?

Got no skillz, but the first pic on this thread reminded me of this. And that film still scares me even today.

Sunday School children leave unscathed.

Headline fixed.. now it's even more of a miracle.
 
2004-08-16 07:56:49 PM
OJ? Guilty as sin. Based on the civil case.
Criminal? Nope, was found not-guilty. *shrug*

Just pointing out that most people are going by assumption and what they have guessed from the media, and don't have all the facts.

Is Jacko Wacko? You betcha. /obvious

And payoffs happen all the time, even by innocent people.
/just saying
 
2004-08-16 08:05:24 PM
what is the difference between Michael Jackson and a plastic bag:

One is white, made of plastic and dangerous to small children and the other you carry stuff in.
 
2004-08-16 08:06:08 PM
One of the reasons stated for his attending? To see the children.

Paging Captain Obvious!
