Let's get a few things straight here:

1. Michael Jackson was a pedophile.
2. He made an assload of money singing a love song to a rat.  A goddam rat, people.
3. He wanted to be anyone but himself.  All that face surgery?  You think?  Of course, not all of it was his fault - see the demented Iraqi torturer's rant in Three Kings on how racism in America made Michael Jackson hate himself - but still.  Think of the good he might have done with all that money if he'd put even some of it towards worthwhile causes instead of cushioning his own pain.
4. Or buying the Beatles catalog.  Which he then licensed for commercials.  Un-fucking-forgivable.
5. He was the one anointed himself King of Pop.  He had no right.  Not even Sting would ever stoop to that level of Pretentious Twat-itude.
   
6. All you people going baa-baa-baa wahhh Michael Jackson is dead and gnashing your teeth and rending your garments - it's not about him.  It's all about you.  It always has been.  It's about the loss of your childhood and the impending realization you're going to die someday and all that shit that MTV (and MJ) never filled you in on.  So buck up, stop trying to relive your halcyon Princess Diana days, and get on with your life.
