    I dont own a tv so I dont know if its All MJ all the time, but some people have suggested this is one of those major music deaths like those of Lennon or Cobain, one where we remember where we were when it occurred.

    Some have even suggested the outpouring of grief and nonstop coverage is the most extensive since Princess Di was killed.

    Is this accurate?

    kinda seems like it. and i do recall that Princess Di and Mother Theresa both died within days of each other yet Princess Di got all the praise in the media. pretty sad when a princess gets picked over a saint.

    I made the same point earlier.

    Additionally a "honeymoon" How could MJ and this kid go on a honeymoon? MJ and the kid were obviously not married
    That's what the kid called it. This is the first one that accused MJ of molestation. The one who got paid $23M to go away. The kid drew MJs genitals and ass complete with locations of blotches that matched up perfectly. The kid said that MJ masturbated him with his hand and with his mouth and that it was their special secret. Part of the settlement included that the boy was not allowed to testify against MJ and by state law he wasn't obligated to do so.

    Oh, the kid says so! It must be true then. I guess all the coaching his parents gave him really PAID off. :roll:

    Lol -- With "adult" attitudes like this, it really is a wonder why kids are scared to come forward and actually tell somebody when they are molested and they are told that it is their "special secret".

    Jackson was successfully sued several years after this settlement when he went public in a vain attempt to try to "normalize" his media persona and he said that the kid lied. Anyway, I guess only Jackson died knowing what he really was. There is no settlement or tribute or media puff piece that could save himself from that haunting; it looked drugs helped him with that though.

    I'll pose the same question to you that I posed earlier: If you had a 12 year old kid and Michael Jackson called you up and asked you if he can hang out with your kid, would you let him? Pretend that the question was asked before he died and became a hero.

    i get embarrassed when i see those idiots crying about a dead superstar they never knew... makes me cringe... as for Princess Di... to quote the great man "I thought it was sad that they had that concert for Princess Diana I mean she didnt have much to do with pop music , they should have have done something that celebrated what was really great about her life ... by staging a gang bang in a minefield"... says it all really. :twisted:
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
