RSSWacko Jacko, the Saga Continues with a New Video
Gene Lalor | July 5, 2009
As the faithful flock to California from far and wide to join in the obsequies for the King of Pop 
by getting a free ticket to the Staples Center, L.A. prepares for chaos.
The raffle registration for the “Michael Jackson Memorial Service” on Tuesday has already ended. The 11,000 seats at Staples, 6,500 at the Nokia Theater, have already been awarded to the lucky lottery winners and the unfortunate millions of losers will be forced to watch the spectacular on the boob tube.
Popes and presidents are more easily and less visibly buried.
Two thousand five hundred of the freebies were allotted to Jacko’s family to be distributed at their discretion. Whether Daddy Joe Jackson will be invited is still up in the air.
Grieve not, losers. Word is you wouldn’t be able to catch a final glimpse of the King since his corpse will probably not be available for public viewing anyway: http://abcnews.go.com/US/MichaelJackson/story?id=7995129&page=1.
I anticipate a circus atmosphere at the event, if not chaos and rioting by those denied access. If the planners had thought about it, the more proper venue would have been the far more spacious Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, home to the USC Trojans. There, however, a rainout would have produced even worse chaos.
For some reason, I’m not privy to the details of Jackson’s funeral, although I would assume film clips will be incorporated in the extravaganza.
Certain clips and videos will all but certainly not be considered for inclusion: the Bashir interview (see http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1092), and one recently outed in the UK showing Jacko squirming and evading in a 1996 chat that delved into his “nasty” sex life: http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news/391017/Michael-Jacksons-video-nasty.html.
I know, I know! It’s positively beastly of me to keep writing about MJ’s sexual proclivities but it’s like a liberal friend said to me at a 4th of July party. “Why,” he asked, “do you keep bashing Obama at a time when we should all be supporting our president?” To which I rejoined, “For the same reason you guys attacked GWB and our troops during wartime. Because I think it’s necessary!”
Likewise, before the media canonizes Michael Jackson,
I think it’s necessary to expose him for what he was.
The aforementioned 1996 video excerpt, the bulk of which the Brit News of the World is sitting on until it can figure how best to fully cash in on its find, reveals the dead King of Pop to be something less than forthcoming and chagrined beyond measure by the probing, sexual questions.
The venue was a requisite pre-trial interview preceding a lawsuit, with Jackson’s lawyers in obvious attendance, filed by members of his staff who alleged unfair treatment and dismissal by Jackson. He won that civil suit, by the way.
Whether he and his memory win the public opinion vote is another matter.
Are the comments which follow that story and video, comments almost exclusively posted by Jacko aficionados, to be believed in toto? Or are the video itself and the observations in the article far more rational and believable?
I guess it comes down to how one interprets squirming and body language.
I report, you decide. My verdict, not on the civil case but on the reasons for the squirming when it came to questions about Mikey’s molestations of kids, is an unequivocal guilty.
