The truth about MJ

We need to be truthful here. This Jacko is
just plain freaky as evidenced with the fact that it slept
in an oxygen chamber with monkeys and little boys. He/she
grabbed his/her crotch nonstop in concerts. It wore one
sparkly glove, high waters, golden thongs, catchers' shin
guards, and jackets with zippers for nothing. It hung its
infant out of a six story window. It was actually married
to the real "King's" daughter, Lisa Marie. It had so many
plastic surgeries that its nose looked as if it was about
to fall off. It bought the remains of the Elephant Man.
It bleached its skin to look whiter. It took hormone
treatments which caused it to sound girly. It has a doctor who
lived with him to administer pain killing shots. Interventions
didn't work for it.
There are so many oddities surrounding this individual that it is not
even funny.

Here is where I find the problem - we glorify this
wacko in the media and see its followers around the world
crying in anguish, yet give little attention to Farrah
Fawcett, a person that was of good character and
suffered tremendously.

Only God knows why some honor Mj so much.......I don't!
Yes, his music was great......but......music doesn't make "the man."
