    Uhhh Dear Genius,
    I was agreeing with you that he was unjustly prosecuted.
    And if you could try giving us the cliff notes sometime maybe more people will read your entire post.

    just crossed from being simply strange
    to Twilight Zone, Mihos my friend.

    And by the way it's "Moronistic" not
    "Moranistic" you crazy assed moron.
    Unless you were maybe talking about the
    talented actress Erin Moran who played
    "Joanie" on Happy Days and it's spinoff
    show "Joanie Loves Chachi".

    Hey did ya know that "Chachi" is Korean
    slang for dick?

    An alternative explanation why the "Full frontal nudity of the tribal savage form" "coffee table books" weren't used by the prosecution might be because they weren't sexual in nature; unlike the gay porn material that was introduced as evidence. The prosecution might have felt that trying to tie in National Geographic type material would be seen as a stretch that might actually weaken his case in the eyes of the jury.

    Of course this theory doesn't square all that well with the Lord of the Flies book that Mihos says he did use. Presumably that was asexual in nature as well. Although the young boys / deserted island theme would probably go over big as a NAMBLA members fantasy paradise.

    A plastic surgeon was accused of making a detailed examination of MJ's privates, while he was sedated, and Evan Chandler claimed BEFORE any accusation by his son was made that he had evidence (clearly he had that information bought) to prove molestation. So here you have to decide if you keep fooling yourself, or see that it was clearly another case of extortion on Michael Jackson.

    I don't think you're on acid Mihos. That would assume that you needed drugs to be crazy. No. I just think you're crazy.

    People in other cultures sleep with non-related youths out of necessity. They have 5 children and 2 of them are orphans but only one little hut, and so they sleep together.

    Boys don't need to sleep in MJ's room. It's a friggin mansion, there are plenty of other empty rooms for him to sleep in. If you take the un-related family of five and stick them in MJ's house I guarantee that the parents give the kids there own room.

    As far as your theory that Europe isn't as disturbed by MJ. Bullsh$t. The only reason they don't have as much coverage is because of proximity. If it had happened over there it would be the same. Who do you think first called him "Wacko Jacko"? Look it up.

    Once you check the facts most of your argument falls apart, and all you are left with is the ranting 'I'm right since you don't understand because I'm smarter and must be talking over your head', or the 'I'm right and your wrong because I believe you're a white racist'.


    Well, if that's how you want to prove you point, then good luck with that.

    As a mariah and mj fan both equally, i feel mariah is well up there with him in the star stakes mariahs only 34yrs old so she's got a lot more to come.People don't have to like the way she looks or acts to acknowledge when she's on top form like with "Music box", she can outshine anybody.In fact,and some of you may be surprised to hear that i think music box artisticly and proffessionally(sp?),has got to be second only to thriller,or sgt peppers.Oh and pink floyds "wall".

    Eric, I thought that Suzy Q. played the
    part of "Leather Tuscadero". I'm likely
    wrong though.And too lazy to google for
    about 15 seconds to verify.

    are Pinkie and Leather two different characters?

  • 90 - HW Saxton

    Yeah. One of them was a big redhead that
    wore a Hot Pink jumpsuit and rode on an
    F'in' Honda 250 or something menacing
    like that.

    Miss Suzy Q. wore a Black Leather outfit
    kind of like what she is wearing on the
    cover of her first LP. The one with "48
    Crash" on it.

    June 16, 2005 - It was such a lovely sight. All the adoring fans dressed as clowns, ducks and ballerinas. Upon learning of Michael Jackson's "not guilty" verdict, the supplicants and sycophants set free the white doves, weeping like back-sliding Pentecostals at a pew-jumping tent revival. A California jury had once again affirmed their God-given right to keep and bear self-mutilating freaks who openly boast of their propensity to sleep with little boys. How special.

    In the beginning there was OJ. Then came Robert Blake. Now we have the Under-Roo clad, heir apparent to the Elephant Man. I need no further proof that California juries are incapable of convicting those who possess even a modicum of celebrity. It seems your garden variety Californian is star struck, ignoring the blatant, glaring and obvious any time one of their icons is confronted with crimes either minor or heinous. The west coast obsession with appearing politically correct and tolerant has rendered California juries impotent when the time comes to make a simple, common sense decision. They are terrified of rendering a judgment, least they appear judgmental. Only non-celebrities are fair game. Though he likely killed his wife and unborn child, there was far, far less evidence of guilt in the Scott Peterson trial than there was in the trials of OJ, Baretta and Freak.

    If you listen to the comments of the Jacko jurors, it becomes very clear that the prosecution made their case. But, because a "superstar's" noggin was on the chopping block, they chose to ignore the evidence.

    "I feel that Michael Jackson has probably molested boys. To be in your bedroom 365 straight days and not do something more than just watch television and eat popcorn, that doesn't make sense to me," said juror Raymond Hultman, who apparently feels that believing the defendant was a child molester does not mean he should be convicted of molesting a child. "But that doesn't make him guilty of the charges that were presented."

    No, what made him guilty was that Jackson brags of dragging little boys into his bedroom. If Joe Six Pack revealed that he slept with children, had a playground in his front yard and pedophilic porn in his bedroom, he would be locked up for life. All a normal jury needed to know for conviction was that Jackson admitted preying on kids with twisted parents, that he had paid off accusers in the past, that his lifestyle is of the most bizarre sort. However, the term "normal" does not apply to a California jury, which cares more for book deals and fame by association than it does for rationality and justice.

    Another juror, an unemployed mother, made an observation that would be laughed out of the sheltered workshop. "What mother in her right mind would allow that to happen. Just freely volunteer your child to sleep with someone. That's something that mothers are naturally concerned with," she said.

    The lack of a logic gene is evident in this woman, as she never once considered "what kind of deviant monster would seek out little boys, sleep with them, and flaunt his disgusting behavior during an internationally broadcast TV special?" Get a grip woman. Judging by the amount of child abuse in this country, there are plenty of mothers not in their right minds. Apparently more than a few horrible mothers allowed sleepovers with Michael Jackson. They did it partially to be around the fame, partially in the hopes of being showered with gifts and cash. They are nothing but pimps.

    But that Jackson was invited to sleep with children, and jumped at the chance, is an indisputable fact which came straight from his plastically-enhanced lips. Of course the mother is unfit, and should be brought up on charges herself. But the trial was not about debating her flaws and criminality. It was about convicting the guy who seeks out dysfunctional parents and revels at the chance to experience his version of childhood romance with their offspring.

    The jury thinks Michael Jackson is weird. By their own admission they think he is a child molester, a predator. But, and almost all jurors said this outright, the basis of their decision was that they hated the accuser's mother. They thought her to be a con artist, and used those feelings as an excuse to avoid thinking about her son. In their little pea brains, they made the following non-intellectual leap. We hate her, and we think he molests kids. But he's a star, and she's just in it for the money. Poor Michael, he's a victim.

    Several of the jurors made comments to the effect that they didn't like how the mother looked at them. Now there's a good reason for acquittal. The worst, a 79 year old great grandmother (who on TV has the look of a "six pack before breakfast" type of gal) gave her brilliant legal opinion.

    "I disliked it intensely when she snapped her fingers at us. That's when I thought, 'Don't snap your fingers at me, lady,'"

    And then the old bag gave a coquettish wink to the camera, thrilled to finally have a national audience and bask in her moment of celebrity.

    Our judicial system, at least as practiced in California, is a joke. Jackson moonwalked out of the courtroom because of who he is, what he has, and the pitifully weak spines of those who saw him first as a celebrity and second as the worst kind of pervert. Shallow as their thought process seems to be, I doubt if these people would have convicted Jackson if they'd witnessed his alleged sexual abuse with their own eyes.

    "You're hoping you can find a smoking gun, and in this case we had difficulty finding that," stated juror Raymond Hultman.

    No, Raymond, you just ignored the smoking gun.

    But I'm damned certain you were smoking something.
