Stop defending Michael Jackson - there's people getting paid $4,000 an hour to do that.
This has been troubling me a lot recently - why do people continue to stick up for Michael Jackson? This has hit pretty much every messageboard I'm involved with, from Cavola to Biffy Clyro, this one seems to start arguments quicker than the subject of politics does. I'm not going to turn this into a current affairs blog, but if it affects web culture - which it has - then it's relevant to the blog, as this one definitely seems to have split the internet clean down the middle. There doesn't seem to be a definitive "Michael Jackson Is Innocent" website, however there's bits and pieces over the various fansites he has scattered about the place (some good examples come from MJtKoP.com or just browsing through Michael Jackson's House.com, especially their links page), and I think there may be a good reason for the lack of an official site:
He probably did molest those kids.
I don't have all the info, but from what I've seen so far, if he didn't molest those kids then he's hidden it spectacularly well. Either that or this is the ultimate april fool's joke ("Ha ha ha, you should have seen the look on your face when I shoved my hand down your pants, it was priceless. Now let's all go back to Neverland for a cuppa" or something similar, I imagine). I've been having a look at the case against Michael Jackson, and even if only the best half of it is true, he definitely deserves to be put in a lead crate and sent on a one way trip to the ocean floor. I'm not a believer in the "There's No Smoke Without Fire" theory, as I hate it when a good name/reputation is ruined by lies and deceit. However, to put it into literal terms, this is no small amount of smoke we're dealing with - this isn't the sort of smoke you get from leaving the oven on too long. This is the sort of smoke you would get if you set a place the size of, oh, say, Canada on fire.
As far as I can tell, the only reason Jackson isn't dropping the soap right now is because last time, he had a distinct advantage:
No, not my immense photoshop skills. Cash. Last time he decided to rub someone the wrong way (literally), he had enough cash to pay for it (probably making Jordan Chandler - his last "incident" - the most expensive prostitute ever, who was charging $15,000,000 for less than a month's worth of meetings. He probably could have had a night with Jesus himself for less than that). However, this time, he doesn't have the money - and I doubt they're going to drop it out of the goodness of their heart (especially now that the Santa Barbera Sheriff's Department has taken an interest) so unless he's managed to pull some sort of 12-legged, 9-brained Johnny Cochren out of his ass to defend him, this is the only conclusion I can picture this time:
Although if he wasn't jailed for the abomination that was Blood On The Dancefloor, I doubt they're going to make a big deal of some kid getting fiddled. Releasing shitty records affects everyone.
