So I was watching Queen of the Damned (against my will) tonight, when the adverts came on, adverts which were incidentally better than the actual film. But one struck me as very odd. An advert for the TV footage of Michael Jackson's court case.
A child molestation case.
On TV.
Advertised as entertainment.
Child molestation as entertainment.
Kiddy-fiddling on prime time.
Mouth-breathers rubbernecking car-crash TV.
"But... but he's famous! A famous person might have done something bad!" you say. How is this different from the thousands of cases of reported child molestation that happen every month (that's just a randomly guessed number, but I won't be wrong). And who on earth thought I would ever want to watch it unfold on television? Do people get kicks from this sort of thing?
Sad thing is, loads of people will tune in to watch, most likely to gawp open-mouthed at a circus freak in the dock while forgetting that underneath all the media coverage and press hysteria, something very serious may well have happened.
Chris Morris had it right all those years ago. Whoever is running ITV may very well be a roboplegic wrongcock, bent on your kids.

Sounds plausible.
I think MJ's most likely just a big kid.

yeh a very good point.it aint true.just because he wants kids to have a really good time in his own home doesnt mean hes did it.he just had a crap childhood basically with his dad pushing him to be a really good singer.
he doesnt want that to happen to any other child so he just makes his house into a fair and to make children happy.so basically you cant do anything nice no-more in this world.

One way or another it will be all over the media and newspapers. I personally think there is something not right about him and would not be at all surprised if he was found guilty, or maybe he'll buy his way out of this one as well!
I think that paedophiles are very sick people and it repulses me that people could do such a thing to innocent children. Children are innocent and should be allowed to grow up in their own time and enjoy their childhood, not have their innocence destroyed by some sick person.
This is something which is very close to home for me. I learned some time ago that my own brother is a paedophile but that the parents of the 14-yearold boy he got involved with didn't press charges! Instead they made him leave town.
Since I found out about this incident I no longer allow him to see my children and he hasn't seen them in over eight years.
People like this deserve to be prosecuted and made to pay for what they have done.

Nah, wouldn't say nasty as such, just that I'd heard a lot of sick jokes, and "didn't you tell one last week or so about the tsunami?" Then the penny finally dropped through my sleep addled brainpan. :D
