Michael Jackson

I couldn't help it! Everyone at the salt mine where I work is too uptight to discuss this and I won't be going to my watering hole until after midnight.
Gotta say I was surprised that the gloved one was acquitted on all charges; I assumed he'd get a dope-slap on one of the "serving alcohol to a minor" counts. D'ya think the jury was dazzled by celebrity yet again? (of course Martha Stewart was the ringing exception, but being a woman she fell under the double standard rule).
D'ya think this trial scared some sense into Wacko Jacko ( if it were me, I wouldn't get under the sheets with a blow-up doll that was younger than 30!)?
And, lastly, d'ya think Mike has a career left? Will he ever record or tour again? I s'poze Las Vegas is always open, as is Japan. Does he have the energy/cohones to face the public again?

I too was amazed at the clean sweep. One analyst said the combination of too many charges, the mother ticking jurors off, and the lack of physical evidence played a part. A couple jurors said they still thought he was a molester, but it just wasn't proved in this case. Scary. Hope no other kids are harmed cause of this.

Musically, I used to like some of his material, but I could never listen to him now after all the revelations. Die-hard fans, and he's got plenty, would still follow. The mainstream will probably reject him like they did O.J. Looking like death warmed over and not in good health, a successful comeback is unlikely - but then we live in a crazy world so who knows?

I'm surprised he walked on everything; I hear Saddam Hussein is requesting a change of venue to the same district. I think the prosecutor blew it. Should have recorded all his witnesses statements so he could show where they were contradicting themselves. Still, Jacko probably owes his voodoo priest buddy a few chickens or a goat.
As far as a career, he's done. He's obviously too sick and frail to go on tour. No way he could dance with a back like that; and the heat from the lights onstage would melt most of his face off. He's been at war with his record company for years so I wouldn't look for an album release and besides, everyone knows he's a filthy child molesting FREAK.

Reasonable doubt, hmmmm.

Well after all of the testimony, if any parent lets their kid visit that wierdo, then their heads should be examined.

If wacko Jacko thinks that sleeping with children is a beautiful loving thing then why is it allways 12-year old boys, never any girls?

They'll get him next time under California's "three tykes and you're out" law.

People have known Michael Jackson was a pedophile years before this trial began, and his career has already suffered for it. Always an overrated performer (opinion), and a seriously disturbed man (fact).

[Lunkhead]

Welcome Metal! Please tell me you still have your VOODOO MAN review.

Sorry Lunk, it's lost to the ages.

[Lunkhead]

Sorry to hear that. Maybe we'll luck out during EZ's final restore process.

Michel Jackson, what a gay.
