He dead. The svengali of pop, the Prince of Darkness, the spectre of a young boy who once sang ABC has moonwalked off this earth. Children around the world are crying...with relief. Will his zombie corpse rise up and give us one last Thriller-dance? It's doubtful, but he was the world's most influential pedo. And let's not forget his ranch, which was like the playground of a mad king, an indulgent Xanadu, he became a Kubla Khan of pop, but when he fell from grace his kindergarten kingdom fell too, a derelict fairground, that most depressing and disturbing of images - weeds growing through the cracks, rides going rusty, a potent and becoming symbol for what happened to this man. So for the next few weeks and definitely few days prepare to receive endless jokes, Facebook updates, lamenting, blogs like this, obituaries, hate, love, mocking, praising, fans grieving, radio stations playing his music, retrospectives, talking heads getting culturally introspective about his influence on everything from the social revolutions of the 20th century to the death of Elvis and 9/11. John Landis may even reshoot Thriller with MJ's corpse.
It's the end of the road for a man who has been a giant freak in the world of music. We all know pop music is a sanctuary for the mad, the crazed, the deranged, but this man was a rare breed of crazy. A pale-faced, high-voiced walking confusion of a man. No one will get to see those tour dates this dead beat (it) was going to play in London. But what a shockingly mad journey it's been for the plasticized one. We all know about his weird 'misadventures' that have gone on over the years, the scandals, the marriages, the obsessions, the plastic fantastic mighty morphing journey, the babies dangling from balconies, the sleepovers, the wine, the chimp, the general creepiness...A remarkable achievement for one man. Like the crazed imaginings of a deluded madman writ large, only far more surreal than anything the human imagination - even that of a feverish schizophrenic - could come up with. Praise be to his unhinged, untouched, unbalanced dementedness.
So he can boogie off and join Elvis, Kurt, and the 'Princess of the People' Lady fu#king Di, she who caused an entire nation to weep salt-water crocodile tears for a woman no one knew personally yet somehow grieved uncontrollably over, like a blubbering child who's had its toy taken from it. Dirty Diana indeed.
He did give the internet plenty of fun though, the international mega-hit sensation wonder-thrill Filipino prisoners jumping about in jumpsuits, wedding dances, unfathomable Bollywood Thriller, he even made his way into Super Mario Bros. Here's Kontraband's top ten infamous internets inspirations that we posted a few months back. So hold a white-gloved fist in the air if you care, if not go and slap a hysterical fan round the face. Because there's going to be plenty of them.
And while the world goes MJ mad poor old Farrah Fawcett gets her death-glory poached by a ghoul of a man. This whole MJ thing will tire pretty quickly, just in the time it's taken me to write this I'm already bored of it all, so let's hear those MJ jokes and the endless discussion of what a great child molester he was.

yeah, call me cold, i laughed when i heard it. he wasn't someone that affected me personally. he wasn't family, he was just some freakshow that creeped me out my entire damn life. i mean really, they should just call him king pedo, cause whether people wanna admit it or not, everyone knows deep down he had to have done something wrong. hence settling out of court with one kid, being let off by the courts and leaving the **** country. that screams guilt to me...i'm just sayin.
yes, he was aquitted in court. doesn't mean he didn't do it. the united states justice system is faulty. we all know that. and if he wasn't as rich and famous as he was, they would have tossed him in prison, so he could feel what it was like to be violated in an orifice by someone larger and possibly older. heh.

yeah, everyone called him a dirty pedo and now that he‘s finally dead, they cry and praise his unvaluable legacy. i will not be an hypocrite. especially towards an interpret who never wrote his music or lyrics. he would never have been a star if quincy jones din‘t compose for him.
so moonwalk your way to hell, i won‘t miss ya pedo.

he was cleared of all charges simply because he was famous, plain and simple. also didn't he settle out of court for one of the trials, you don't settle if your innocent? point being he was a frikkin whack job in every sense of the word, he was a pedophile who was so ashamed with who he was he completely changed his appearance and disfigured himself beyond recognition. i don't care if its cause daddy beat him as a child, he should have been locked up in a mental institution years ago when the initial molestation allogations came out. i will not deny his early music was hugely influential on the industry, but that does not excuse his sick behavior in recent years. people didn't care about him till he died, now people treat him like hes a f*ckin saint when hes done nothing of merit in over the last decade outside of turning his life into a freakshow.

truth be told in 10 years time mj will be a legend - his latter life was much like elvis' and once the scandal dies down the music will remain - sad but true!

mj never touchedd little boys. anyone who actually believes he did solely from south park or any other mainstream horesh!t that has made fun of him is an ignorant and probably american. the rest fo the world honors this famous human who inspired and defined music itself. read the actual articles on the case. it was nothing more than an attempt at extortion. there is a reason he was proven innocent.

no one doubts his influence on popular music strectching back decades, but seriously, "defined music itself"? that's a bit of a stretch, even for this american (capital a if you please, some of us are still proud of our country and demand some respect) to swallow. i doubt we'll ever know the truth about what occurred with mj and the kids at his "ranch". despite his acclaim, don't you find the whole deal a bit creepy? i know i do...
