OT: Rough day in the Pop culture world

[gr8dane]

I have a MJ story ,if I may.

My dad Jack was visiting friends in Majorca Spain,and I was going to visit him and stay at the same place as him.
I was going to take the bus to the town and give him a call at the house, where we were gonna stay,when I arrived.
So,I arrived and called and introduced myself to lady who answered the phone,'Hello-I'am Michael,Jack's son.
She starts flippen..."Michael Jackson is on the phone,Michael Jackson is on the phone."
Needless to say we all had a laugh,because I am Michael, He is Jack and I am his son.And she blushed and so on....

There was something seriously wrong with this guy, way before the child molestation stuff. I mean nobody forced him to change his physcial appearance, he looked like a non human or a fragile doll that would break if touched. There was nothing wrong with the way the guy looked before all that. All the other things I think goes beyond somebody not being able to handle fame, I guess his family really screwed him up. Shame too, his vocals on I'll be there at age 6 or 7 are incredible, in addition to his solo efforts on Off the Wall and Thriller.

The rotten bastard father of his verbally mentally and physically abused him to the point of Michael regressing into a 10 year old child, if it's true they found his will then Joe Jackson will deservedly get nothing

I'm not saying all the negative stuff we have heard about Michael Jackson's personal life is not true, although I doubt it is,
but what I AM saying is that the American mainstream media is not what you have been led to beleive it is. You have to take the bullshit that they shove down our throats in this country with a grain of salt. We may be the most lied to and mislead people on the planet. And I know that statement is extremely hard to beleive the first time you hear it, but unfortunately it is the truth.

I seriously doubt most of what we hear in the "mainstream" news is really what is going on in the world. In fact, I would bet my life on the fact that most of what we hear is pure bullshit. So I make no judgements on anyone based on what we hear in the media. I would guess MJ was used, and misused at that, pretty much his entire life. There are a LOT of people who had monetary interests in him his entire career.

Yes, it's downright frightening what is considered news in this country and how much control the media has on things that they have no business controlling. It gets worse every day and I can't believe that the general public eats all of it up and comes begging for more!

If anyone doubts that we are served up exactly what the media/government wants us to believe, than you really need to watch "Wag the Dog" to see how easily a society can be manipulated. Downright frightening, indeed...

Wow.. I must be one of the few people that didn't even bother to turn the news on today, or listen to the MJ thing on the radio.

Maybe I do have a life afterall!
