      No, no, you’ve got the order of the word salad wrong, it should go like this:

      Dollar Michael Store Jackson

    “Mom, can we stop and get Michael Jackson?”

    “No, we have Michael Jackson at home”

    “Michael Jackson at home”

    Don’t worry, the same thing happened to Homer Simpson. Presumably, it could happen to anyone.

              well he was ultra rich guy in usa with a LOT of lawyers and those 2 people in the documentary had pretty identical stories even though they were interviewed in separate palces without knowing each other in any way so (ツ) I do believe he was guilty as fuck.

              and I said “suspicions” and that literally is the reason why the episode is not on disney+ so I fail to see your point

                That’s a huge issue that our society deems it appropriate to punish people merely for accusations. We’re supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around. There’s a very in-depth documentary about the entire scandal and it seems plausible that the parents of those children were looking for a big paycheck, not reporting truthfully. Unfortunately I don’t remember what the documentary is called. There’s a very real possibility that Michael Jackson wasn’t even interested in sex at all, like with anyone. They suspect that his children are actually the children of one of his friends and that he made arrangements for the friend to father kids for him.

                  well the way I see it is that he didn’t get convicted simply because he was one of the most popular pop starts ever so he kinda gets sort of immunity based on that. you can almost never had concrete hard evidence on claim like that so it really just is all about whose story is more plausible.

                  but that’s just my personal opiniom about the case and whatever happened, happened. end of story on my part

                  The court of law is innocent until proven guilty and has to be that way to ensure a fair trial.

                  Society and public opinion is a different beast.

    I actually saw Michael Jackson at a grocery store back in the day. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
    I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
    The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
    When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

    This woman who owned a restaurant in my town got all excited a decade ago, published a bunch of photos of who she thought was Robert Plant having Sunday brunch at her place. Then people got a look at those pictures and scratched their heads - “Who the fuck is that?”

    He didn’t even look like Robert Plant. He was around the same general age bracket, did have long blonde wavy hair and a certain air of britishness about him, think Spinal Tap and you’re almost there.
