Lately the whole thing had been in limbo with the occasional joke, and now that he died he's suddenly a freaking saint. As so often.
Personally, I always point out to people that he always settled for huge sums in those court cases with kids' parents. Sure, you can settle once to get stuff done, but every time? That stinks. Especially in the US, where celebrities don't go to jail.
For me, MJ is the funny difference between a child molester who works at McDonalds and a child molester who's an international superstar and (once) unmeasurably rich music legend. One has to inform his neightbours when he moves and is despided and hated by those around him, is hated even by fellow prisoners and will probably die in miserable conditions. The other settles court cases, has fans defending him, and dies a saint with half the world population crying for him. Mmm.
Humans beings have an uncanny knack for confusing financial success or any sort of genius with a sound and healthy personality, when the truth is that they often have nothing to do with each other.Statistics: Posted by Rinox — Wed Dec 30, 2009 6:11 am
