No worries.

I remembered the pool little lad's name, so Googling was easy.

Accusing Jackson of sex abuse ruined the life of Jordy Chandler - Americas, World - The Independent
The Jordy incident was actually used by Jacksons defence to try to discredit the other kids family..to say they fancied thier chances of getting a similar payout.

God knows how the Chandler family's testimony could be used as any sort of defence, when you read this report.

The whole thing is sick making. Jackson, and the parents.

Money.

Ker-ching.

Re: Micheal Jackson , you people are sad

The verdict at Jacksons trial was abit iffy..at the very least he did supply alcohol to this kid and others, that was one of the charges...but unlike Glitter he was found not guilty and you can't stop anyone making a living if they have not been convicted of anything.

No you can't, but mud sticks.

Which is more than his nose does to his face.

Re: Micheal Jackson , you people are sad

Just had a look on ebay and 2 tickets for January (face value £75) have attracted bids getting on for £700 and will get nearer to a grand ...when massive sell outs for artists are reported in the media I reckon around half the original buyers are selling... ticket touting used to be for dodgy geezers and spivs.. but know it's a whole new industry.

Re: Micheal Jackson , you people are sad

I remember a story about the ticket tout selling tickets outside Wembley, before touting was outlawed. Everton were in the final and this guy was selling tickets at about 10 times the face value, when a bunch of Toffees fans grabbed the guy took the tickets and walked of, there was a copper nearby who just tuned his back on the whole incident and that was reported n the TV at the time

Re: Micheal Jackson , you people are sad

I am 'also' neither fat, a slag or on benefits and going to see him twice. I can not wait to see him, fantastic entertainer.

Judging by the 50+ sell out dates within 24hours, im not the only one who thinks this!

Re: Micheal Jackson , you people are sad

It's really pretty much irrelevent what he has/ hasn't done, how he chooses to run his personal life to me
<although I think he is way too retarded and childlike to have rationally thought out half the stuff he stands accused of...and how many retards have we castigated over the years because they are n easy target ......?>
He is without a doubt a talented musician, singer and amazing dancer
I would definately go see him if it was on my radar and I liked him enough.
Just as I would be an audience for anyone who owned a brilliant talent for something I wanted to see, witness and be a part of for a while
Wow
