I think its high time we gave Michael Jackson a break. I mean, even though he's finally been acquitted of charges and walks a free man, there's been a humongous outcry from people who just can't quit thinking that people who can't keep their noses on are bad influences on kids. I suppose you might say they do have a point, but then we're not in imminent danger of bringing up a next generation of kids looking like an anorexic pontianak who's just seen a ghost. Or its reflection in the mirror.
Think about this. If you were an 8 year old kid given the chance to visit a humongous wonder world filled with ferris wheels and roller coasters and games and prizes and all, and get to hang out with a rich and famous international star at the same time, wouldn't you just stop short of giving yourself a heart attack jumping for joy? Even bigger chance of that heart attack when you're battling cancer at the same time and chances of you making it past your tenth birthday aren't all fine and dandy. If it were anyone else other than MJ offering something like that, the world would probably hail him as a hero.
Also, if you were that same kid and facing the prospect of sleeping all by yourself in a huge, completely foreign room in an even biggger and even more foreign house, I don't think you'd be exactly enthralled. And if you had a grown up friend whom you've had fun with all day and sleeps just down the corridor, well, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what that kid would do.
What the media says isn't exactly false, but then again, it isn't exactly true either.
Lets give ol' 'not Mr Billy Jean' a chance.
