So, obviously nobody here actually watched any of these specials.

Why is everyone so quick to pass judgement on this fella?

......and how can those who claim he is a child molester even know enough about him to make that claim if you don't watch TV or pay any attention to him. Grow up people, just cause 20/20 or some newspaper says he did this and that - you're all going to run out and condemn this individual? How would you feel or act if most of the world did that to you?

I don't know what Mike did behind his doors, and frankly, it's none of my damn business - nor am I even interested.

His image was created by himself, so I don't feel bad that he is now a walking circus act (which is why all these shows are on right now - any publicity is good publicity - his last album flopped and all this hoopla is much needed).

Hey - I have an idea.....why don't we keep our comments about him to ourselves (I'm sure nobody here cares if people know their take on MJ anyway), stop buying the Enquirer and just leave him alone and maybe these annoying TV shows will go away and you all can relax, take a deep breath and finally be happy that your life is complete now that the huge problem of Micheal Jackson is finally be ousted out of all your lives.

Let's complain about real problems in the world - like NASCAR or how stupid those "Can You Hear Me Now" cell phone commercials are.

Probably cause Mike either pays them or there are enough people out there who find him "interesting" enough to watch.......kinda like a train wreck.

What other Rock Star is being "freaky" right now? Marilyn Manson hasn't been heard from in a while. Madonna is a whoosie now. Prince is home growing his own vegetables. David Lee Roth died 3 years ago. Ozzy is mainsteam. Shock Rock is at an all time low with all the "American Idol" type shows promoting down-to-earth, wholesome performers.

Think about it - Michael Jackson is now the King of the Shock Rock/weird *** performer world. Who would have thunk it??? Remember when he was a harmless "faggy" type that just annoyed people? Now he scares and confuses people.

Bet his next album does better than his last.

I don,t care for MJ much,although I will admit he is a talanted SOB,as far as TV goes they have a lot more problems than that type of tv. At least an interview show has some sort of topic, even if it sucks....Since they started with reality TV,I have never seen more crap in my life....And if you notice if one network has a hit the others copy it in a month....I mean really, who gives a rats *** about watching some guy or girl reject people, to find a husband or wife on national TV ,its all crap....I guess I shouldn't sugarcoat it huh....Someone must be watching it...Oh well, sorry about the rant......RED

Its pretty sad.

I also agree with that other crap reality shows they have on. Don't watch them either.

And Deni, you are 100% right, I do watch too much TV.

All this anti-michael rhetoric is sickening. Really, you all need to get a life.

No one can dance like Michael can,
No one can sing like Michael can,
Lay off Michael he's my man,
Remember when the whole world loved him?

from the song "Show Respect to Michael Jackson", by the eminent James Kochalka Superstar. he may be messed up, he may have the face of a possesed woman on heroin, he may mess with litte kids (ok, that deserves attention), but Thriller is still the second best selling album ever. if he's actually abusing kids, get him arrested, otherwise give the man credit, crank up Billie Jean, and leave the poor guy alone.

I'd just like to point out to the "I don't watch TV" crowd that, believe it or not, there are good programs out there, and you may be throwing out the baby with the bathwater so you can tell people with a smug look "I don't watch TV."

I like the French. I like the Germans more, but I like the French.

I think you meant: "Going to war WITHOUT THE REST OF THE WORLD is like going hunting with antlers"

To finsh 944pete's statement:

"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion. You just leave a lot of useless noisy baggage behind"

This happened to be posted on fark today.
