Michael Jackson Visits Orphans

Doesn't that just inspire a warm fuzzy feeling all over? Or maybe that's better described as your skin crawling. I mean, come on buddy, an accused pedophile visits an orphanage and we are not supposed to think that is a little odd? Like we didn't notice he was odd before this - but every now and then he adds to the level of freakishness he had previously achieved.

The worst part is.... I had a crush on him when I was a little girl. My best friend Katie and I used to watch the "We Are the World" video and try to kiss him (I always landed a little late on Paul McCartney). We organized an entire slumber party around the viewing of "Thriller" and.... I wore a sparkly glove to school (come on, I was 6). Watch how he has changed here.

That little fella warms the cockles of my heart...

That vid is hysterical! When this first came out, it officially impaired our ability to do anything without fits of tear-filled laughter.

Thanks for the good memories!

I know. I'm always a little behind the times ;-)

I was so behind the times that when Wierd Al came out with "Eat it" - I didn't know what it was parodying - maybe not having a TV and being at a religious school had something to do with it. So, MJ has always been a bit scary to me - scary, scary.

I remember back to the mid 1980s when the two undisputed kings of pop were MJ and Prince... The funny thing is that, at the time, it was Prince who was supposed to be "the weird one" out of these two! MJ was "the nice one"!

No surprise to hear that he's hanging around orphanages now... there are no enraged dads to beat the shit out of him!

I was never overly into Prince - I mean I liked the guy but...as you pointed out he WAS the weird one. I mean it's not like he's going to win awards for being "the most normal" guy out there but MJ definately wins "the biggest freak".
