New theory on Jackson’s face freakishness. He slept with a Chimp when he wasn’t sleeping with those he doped with “Jesus Juice”.

Remember the women who got her face ripped off by a chimp? Perhaps the chimp got tired of MJ’s “Jesus Juice” advances...

There used to be a poster on here a few years ago that was obsessed with running Princess Diana down after her death. She said some horrible things about her, always putting her down for everything, including her looks. We didn’t hear from this poster for quite some time, then her sister came on and said she had died after a gastric bypass. Of course, the light comes on about why she hated Diana so bad, she was jealous. I think there are lots of underlying issues with the haters on these threads. Maybe some past abuse, jealousy over his money and talent perhaps. They hate him so bad that there just has to be a personal reason for the massive chip on their shoulders.

A few years ago, I was sitting in a bar with friends watching football when the conversation turned to who each of us thought were the “The Top 5 Running Backs” we’ve ever seen.

For my #5 choice, I picked OJ Simpson. A woman who was not part of our group, but was standing nearby, lit me up for being an “Simpson supporter...a Simpson apologist..!”

I just looked at her for a moment before I burst out laughing - because all I’d said was he was the 5th best running back I’d ever seen. How in the hell does that equate to being a Simpson supporter or apologist?

Simpson’s onfield talent in no way mitigates what he (likely) did to Nicole Simpson and Ron Goodman...but what he did to Nicole Simpson and Ron Goodman in no way takes away from what he was once able to do on a football field.

The same basic idea could be employed when discerning the life/talent of Michael Jackson - and for the record I was never a fan. I always preferred Prince.

Actually, just speaking for myself, I despise child molesters. I believe MJ molested little boys. His pretty voice and fancy dance steps can’t erase that. IMO

OR, maybe its that they just think he’s a no talent hack, his “music” sucks, they hate youth-culture celebrity worship and think its one of the big problems in America, and he was an egregious pedophile to boot.

Only in your world would you be looking for reasons other then the most obvious that everyone else see’s.

Your deal about voices in your head is most apropos.

Well..they had an hour special on her last night...and I think another one tonight. MJ had more impact on the public and whole world....not as much as Farrah. Poor Farrah....someone on FR was trashing her yesterday too...for bad morals. There are alot of good non-sinning judges in here.

Except, I don’t see the OJ worship. If he died today, I really doubt we’d see numerous excuses for his actions. True, double murder is much worse than child molestation.

But, as I said, it’s just my opinion. I can’t look past what I truly believe MJ did to little boys.

Thoughtful analogy. Unfortunately, this thread has been inundated with scornful attacks on FReepers, ironically similar to Islamic Mullahs issuing fatwa. A venomous snake pit.

I can't imagine what it must be like for their families to live with the unmitigated hatred, and forbidden of pleasant memories, under the iron clad fist of a tyrant.

Would you still think he’s a no talent hack if not for the child abuse allegations? Someone like Prince made his name on pornographic dance moves and lyrics. Does that negate his status as one of the most gifted musicians in American history?

I agree, I wondered what the Michael Jackson thread would hold for me on the FR, all I can say is some are going to be judged as they themselves judge others. Unfortunately there is a large segment of the FR that were not cut from the same block I was.

Someone on the radio, yesterday, mentioned that Jackson had obtained the necessary insurance against his demise for the concerts in London. So, some insurance company is going to be out a whole lot of money.

Jackson was in deep debt. Follow the money.

Granted, I haven’t read all the posts, but I have to think this is just a little over the top. :)

And Sanford has to do with MJ how? Nice how you can so glibly try to excuse pedophiles with bible verses or try to draw moral equations between the two.

A society that so glibly excuses pedophiles is a society that is not going to last.

Even his own sister said he was a pedophile. So did ex-staff members and security guards from his Neverland ranch for boys.

Sorry - there are those of us who draw the line. Everyone else is just an enabler of the Michael Jackson’s of the world what with their trite expressions and all.

Ironically, Jackson's death is the worst thing that could have happened to the protesters in Iran.

You won’t be able to read all of the posts, because many of the ugliest personal attacks and threats were quikly deleted by the mods.
