I saw some video the other night of some event that he was attending, and along the red rope was what looked like a middle aged normal looking guy standing along the rope crying and screaming like a schoolgirl at an old Beetles gig.

I just don’t get how anybody can be that warped...

I wouldn’t be surprised if Japan hasn’t had a few. The society is westernized as far as popular culture but has not had the long “judeo-christian” cultural influence against suicide.

I don’t know whether to laugh or to upchuck.

Actually, I think I’ll pray for them.

I expect that type of fan obsession from teens or maybe some unstable twenty-some year olds. Michael Jackson's fan base is probably up around their late thirties and early forties by which time they should have matured at least a little.
