Ok now their getting rediculus and stupid....
Taking a break from basking in posthumous record sales, Michael Jackson's ghost made a stop in England to appear in a reflection on a car hood, according to the car's owner, Gary Slagget.

Slagget says he was taking pictures of his Rover 200 for a car-sales magazine on June 26, just one day after the King of Pop passed away, and was shocked to see the "ghostly image" of Michael Jackson on his hood upon transferring the photos to his computer.

"It's quite extraordinary," said Slagget. "The obvious explanation is that it seems to be some sort of cloud formation that just happened at the time. But I've shown the picture to quite a few people and without prompting they all say: 'That's Jacko.' If you look at the picture for long enough it even looks as if he has got wings."

The sighting is being called the biggest Jackson-related miracle since Tito was spotted on the hubcap of a 1991 Pontiac Grand Am in Wisconsin. Get a closer look at the dashboard MJ after the jump.

I bet you 50 dollars there's an all-boys school across the street from that car.

[LordMacAlpin]

I wouldn't take that bet even if ye paid me 50 bucks LOL!

[Stallion]

LOL!

And now for some (Not-So-Breaking) News:

Mattel Toys has reportedly bought the rights to MJ's corpse, so they can melt him down and turn him into action figures, so that for once the kids can play with him for a change.

[LordMacAlpin]

Thats just sick...funny but sick LOL!

[Ben Gunn]

They named him 'Whacko Jacko' ans I think that says it all!

Well...I do not believe Michael Jackson was a child molester, and instead I believe that all the accusations were made by low life greedy people out to get some money out of it.

Unfortunately there is still much cynicism, jealousy and dishonesty in the world.

In my view MJ was simply a misunderstood Artist, that simply was a child himself in many ways, and that is why he was misunderstood, because he would not act or fit in the "adult" mold of other people's standards, but eccentricity is a trait of most great artists.

Watch the above, this is when Michael was 36 years old, pay attention to the things he talks about but also the manner in which he expresses himself, look him in the eyes...and tell me...is that really someone who could hurt and take advantage of children?

In the end, he was a great Artist and his name will remain in History as such, far longer than ours and the dusts that we will leave behind, and he earned it.

is that really someone who could hurt and take advantage of children?

Uh, are you in the right thread, DS?

[Scrogdog]

I would submit to you, Duke, that you know better than that.  There is the old adage about the worst forms of evil wearing white hats instead of black ones, yes?

By all accounts, Boston's own Cardinal Law was a mild-mannered, personable and gentle man.  That did not effect how most of us judged what he did.

[Ben Gunn]

He may well have been a good artist of his kind, but no right minded person holds a child upside-down outside of an upstairs window just for the hell of it!          Whako Jako was a good name for him, whatever his merits were in other directions.      

[Suraknar]

I understand you my friends,

However just because the one turned out like that it does not mean that is other must be the same.

It would be a bit Ad hominem argumentation of us to say that just because men of church committed these acts it represents proof that a Pop star committed them as well.

Each case is separate, different circumstances different context.

[Scrogdog]

Yes. That was pretty much my point. You said to us to look in to Jackson's eyes and observe his mannerisms. My reply was simply to say that is no indication of either guilt or innocence as plainly seen in the case of Boston's Cardinal Law.

So it all comes down to personal opinion and beleif then.

Since none of us can know with certainty we have to rely on our own beliefs. Personally, my beliefs on this issue are different, maybe because I had a mother that was an Artist and part of the artistic society, and can understand eccentricity.

I can respect everyone else's beliefs on the matter even if I may not share them.

That being said, MJ was a great artist, but he was, not matter his age, really a kid inside in some areas of his personality still, yet that was the source of his artistic inspiration. Like many people he had difficulties with that dual nature, specially vis a vis a cynical part of society who may have not approved of him, expecting him to act "his age".

Most importantly, like all of us everyone in the world, he was certainly not perfect, and since perfection is an illusion of the human condition.

As such, my belief is that he was never a child molester, but that, inadvertently put himself in situations where people could take advantage of and accuse him of such for money. And this belief can only change with knowledge of facts, in other words proof of the contrary.
