It is amazing the effect that publicity has on people. It is sad that some jurors cannot let it go and they are profiting from all this. It is not surprising though, it always happens, the saddest part is people buying that stuff. *shaking head*
My brother and I were hardcore Michael Jackson fans as kids. I think I just out grew him. As kids we had poster, keyrings and our grandmother used to send us Michael Jackson jackets (copies) as souveniers. We had all his albums but for myself I stopped being a hardcore fan when he released his Bad album...again due to having outgrown him. But what is interesting is that there are children at the age of 6 - 8yrs of age who just adore him to bits. I do agree he does have issues and a lot happened in his childhood. One thing that I wanted to point out about all the allegations is what mcCauley Culkin shared..Michael Jackson's room isn't your everyday ordinary one bedroom, but two storeys ....... it is sad when media go off on tangents. I really do feel sorry for him. He built Neverland due to his childhood swiped before his very existence due to a singing career chosen for him by his father.
Just thinking of Michael Jackson just goes to show how lonely he must have been as a child and how he only really had his music to feel of worth!

Saw on the news today that Jackson's creditors took a warehouse of goods that he had with his items from years back including trophies, clothes and memorabilia. It is ashame that he rose so far and fell so low, but when you have suspicious dealings with children then this is what happens.
Interestingly enough, one of the items they found in the warehouse was skin whitening cream, but according to the news he managed to persuade them to not auction that.
