I doubt it, sounds like conspiracy theory stuff.
I'm sure if that was the case the prosecutor would have thrown a $h!tfit.

The thing is he was cleared in an american court with due process.

INNOCENT until proven guilty

Personally the only reason why theres all this crap going on about him is because he allegedly looks funny and talks funny so he's easier to make fun of.
Kind of like making fun of the socially awkward kid in elementary school.

Where is the outrage about R-Kelly and Akon??? They were actually filmed doing what they did and not much really happened with them.

I think it's pretty clear that MJ was guilty, even if the prosecution couldn't find enough evidence to convict him.

As far as R. Kelly and Akon goes, I guess most people just find it a lot easier to stomach when it's a teenage girl versus a pre-teen boy. Though personally, I do agree that it's no less wrong. But don't forget, Dave Chappelle mocked R. Kelly pretty badly with the "Pee On You" spoof.

Everyone forgets that we lost a True American Hero Ed McMahon.

Ed McMahon served in World War II with the US Marine Corp flying Corsairs earning six Air Medals. Then served in Korea flying an unarmed OE-1 Bird Dog for 85 missions. He was in the Marine Corp reserve achieving the rank of Colonel. The joined the California Air National Guard achieved the rank of Brigadier General before retiring.

Rest In Peace Ed McMahon you have served your country well.

We thank you for your service.

I would have remembered him if I knew he was a veteran.


But I was not familiar with who he is.

RIP Ed McMahon

When told that MJ died, I asked:

How old was he supposed to be anyway?
So hard to tell.

Pity about Farrah, though.

[Gunmaster45]

Yeah, rectal cancer isn't a good way to go, and she was still pretty hot for her age (perhaps more so than in the 70s).

In my opinion, the MJ everyone loved died when he turned into a white guy with a fake nose who dangled children from windows and touched little boys.
MJ died in the 80s, all we lost today was a washed up 50 year old child molestor who wore a tux and white gloves.

Well here's an MJ joke for the hell of it:
"Why did Michael Jackson go to Wal-Mart? Because the signs said 'Little boy's pants half-off!'"

As for R. Kelly, I laugh at "Tropic Thunder", where they mocked him by having the rapper "Alpo Chino" yell on his cell-phone "I didn't pee on that girl!"

Oh, and rest in peace Brig. Gen. Ed McMahon.

He was actually cleared because he paid an enormous amount of money [$22 million, in fact] to settle the civil case out of court. Oddly, the alleged victim didn't want to testify in a criminal trial after he and his family were paid more money than most people will ever see in their life.

Correction, the last case was not settled out of court and he was legally acquitted AKA declared innocent of all counts.
Honestly I think the mother of that last case was a gold digger and she was out to get as much money off of jackson as possible.
She was reportedly very manipulative of her son.

The case in 1993 he was pressured by his legal advisors and family to settle out of court as Michael was in declining health and they did not think he could endure a lengthy trial.

As far as I'm concerned he's innocent.

I don't think that's true, that's like saying Clint Eastwood died after he finished with the Dirty Harry series and stopped acting in westerns.

[Gunmaster45]

I'm sorry, but that's a horrible analogy. Clint Eastwood has continued to be a badass to even today, MJ turned into a total wierdo and stopped making music.

Well I really don't think this is MJ's fault.
Michael Jackson developed vitiligio in the mid 80's which causes him to gradually lose splotches of pigmentation in the skin.
At first he covered up the white spots with makeup matching the color of a black man.
Later as more and more spots appeared it overcame him so he found it easier to just cover up the black spots with white.
Eventually basically he became almost completely fair skinned due to vitiligio.
About his nose his father use to always torment him and called him ugly, his nose in particular. So he developed a complex about it and received surgery.

A Psychological profile of him done during the court cases describe that he has basically regressed to the mental/psychological state of a 10 year old.(explaining the sleep over parties with walt disney films)

And he never stopped making music, he had continued and you would not know as you may not have been a fan(I would not consider myself a fan either but I thought he had some good stuff)
He was scheduled to go on a 50 concert tour in the UK in July which was sold out.
