What the hell is it with these people?
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Dozens of children visited Michael Jackson (news)'s Neverland Valley Ranch on Friday at the invitation of the pop superstar who is awaiting trial on child molestation charges.Three buses containing mostly grade-school children and some parents as well as five minivans drove through the gates of Jackson's sprawling estate in the foothills above Santa Barbara, California, Reuters photographers said.
It was unclear where the children had come from. Jackson's spokeswoman said on Thursday such invitations were regularly extended to groups including churches.
What the @#$k are these people thinking? Let's take a crack. Could it be something like...
...Oh, it's Michael Jackson! Never mind that he's a freak---with a capital 'F'---of nature. Never mind that a grown man has a goddamn amusement park at his house. Never mind that he's facing charges that he sexually molested a young boy. Never mind that pedophiles are the worst of the worst sexual predators when it comes to recividism. Never mind that when there's smoke, there must be a frickin' fire somewhere nearby. Never mind any and all of that----HE'S A CELEBRITY AND HE'S RICH! Therefore we must get as close as humanly possible to him, lest he decided to shower us---the unwashed and unfamous masses---with his largesse on the day we're in the same zipcode with him.
Could that be it? Ya think?
Man.
I feel for all the people whose children have been molested by strangers. They must just be absolutely appalled that people would allow their children to get anywhere near this freak. I can only think that it must be like being forced to watch a train wreck and being able to do nothing to stop it.
Sigh.
