All I'll say.

I'd be remisce if I didn't say something, so here goes. The one thing that annoys me about this whole thing is how most people have forgotten that they wanted to burn Michael Jackson at the stake a couple of years ago. I know that it's always nice to remember the great things about someone, but it's a little too much hypocrisy for my tastes.

This leads me onto my next gripe; "innocent until proven guilty". This is all well and good, but with the fashionable crime of paedophilia, accusations stick and even if you're acquitted or the charges are dropped, you still have that label. I've always thought there was something wrong with the accusations, and it seemed a little like people trying to capitalise on Michael Jackson's high profile and, maybe, a relationship that might seem inappropriate from the outside (again, the popularity of paedophilia (when I was at school, it was being gay) has basically made any adult->child-that-isn't-yours relationship inappropriate). The settlement can look suspicious from both sides - yeah, it can look like a payoff, or it can look like a bunch of people getting what they came for.

Anyway, I've waffled on more than I'm qualified (or informed enough) to, so I'll just say that Michael Jackson was a phenomenal pop star/singer/dancer, and how he ended up is incredibly sad no matter who he was.
