Michael Jackson is not Weird
When an alky wants to see pink elephants, he guzzles some booze. Sad, but not weird visions of pink elephants are better than visions of napalmed flesh.
When a junkie wants to see angels, she shoots some smack. Sad, but not weird better to imagine angels floating above than stepfathers.
When Michael Jackson wants to see a freak, he gets plastic surgery. Sad, but not weird-better to see a perverted white person in the mirror than the son of a violent abuser.
The only difference is that when Michael Jackson sees something, he's got enough money to make it real on the outside. But the pain he expresses is little different than that of many of us.

For what value of 'wierd'? I doubt many of us would do better if raised as he was, but he's still on the far fringe of most sociological bell-curves. cd

Michael Jackson a tragic genius. The jury is still out on whether he's also a pedophile.
(speaking of Jacksons, notice how Jesse Jackson once again jumped into a center of attraction? That guy sure loves the "limelight")

I have a hard time with people who criticize Jackson's cosmetic alterations. Sources indicate the man thought he was ugly, and he took steps to make himself look better. It's hypocritical for anybody to fault him for that who has ever worn braces or contacts, had their hair tinted or permed, shaved anything, pierced anything, gotten tats, whitened teeth, etc.

It's what you get in response to ***.

I didn't say he was guilty (I have no idea, I haven't followed the case at all) I do know that there is no way in **** I would have left my kids at his house alone. Guilty or not, anyone who has done that to himself definitely has issues. Whether one of those "issues" is pedophilia, or not, I don't know.

Michael Jackon looks like an ugly bleached alien from Star Trek". But, sure, Jackson has every right to uglify himself and that's what he did: he made himself ugly, real ugly. Michael Jackson's grotesque mutation is self-imposed, an act of self-expression, what have you and ugly, real ugly.
