What is this "internet" you speak of? A google search found nothing....are you sure it's spelled right?
Geez, Omega, you look like you're twelve years old in that photo on your website.... I reccomend a nice Carl Malden pic. Hmmm...maybe Edgar Caycee for the creep-out vote.

Ok, well I didn't read every post before this one.
But after several weeks of MJ praise I feel like weighing in...
First off. There's no denying that Jackson was a pioneer in the music world. Especially in the 80s and some of the 90s. Mostly early 90s.
I guess what I find odd is that everyone was calling him "Wacko Jacko" now is practically giving him sainthood.
I mean Thriller was awesome. But giving little boys "jesus juice" probably not so much.

It's surprising what dying can do for your public image. Diana was a bipolar nut job, off holidaying with the son of a billionaire until her car came off the road. A week later and all of a sudden she's practically being canonised.
As for Jacko, he clearly wasn't right though I don't really by the kiddie fiddling accusations. For one thing, I can't believe a parent would take any pay-off if they really believed what they were saying about him....but that's a whole other discussion.

Is there really that little happening in the world?
We're at the point of peak hurricane season in US... is there a storm that the CNN/Fox News can focus on? Yes I realized this would be something that cable news would focus on. World events, not so much.

Waht is truly sad is that today is the fourth anniversary of Katrina killing scores of people and destroying most of what was New Orleans...which of course, is overshadowed by it being MJ's birthday. Spike Lee actually had a block party honoring his childhood hero- with a token moment of silence for the Katrina victims and Ted Kennedy, of course.
Meanwhile New Orleans is still an unlivable pit in may places and many people that lost everyting in the storm still have nothing.
But hey- BLOCK PARTY!
