Hmm. Suspicious timing. He was en route to the courthouse where jury selection was going to take place.

Uri Geller, a friend of the singer, told Sky News he was "shocked" to hear the news of Mr Jackson's illness, but added that the case was placing "an immense strain" on Mr Jackson. "It's a major trauma to his psyche," said Mr Geller.

Mr Jackson's lawyer Thomas Mesereau said the singer had been rushed to an emergency room at the Marian Medical Center and was "very, very ill".

Yes, but are the two things related?

maybe he just had a sudden urge to visit the pediatrics ward and "make some dreams come true"...

But he doesn't know anyone else! He's Michael Jackson, fer chrissakes. Who's he going to call on as a character witness? The only people he knows are his faithful lackeys and celebrities.

Fish fingers all in a line (kenan), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 18:40 (twenty years ago)

what about his many younger, smaller friends? It'd be even funnier and more wrong and MORE circus-like if all of Jackson's character witnesses were little kids who he's had over to Neverland Ranch or young fans he's met or whatever...

What if MJ was transported to the hospital at a leisurely pace? Would this even make the news? Fucking liberal media bias in favour of speed!

surely both sides' case stands or falls on a parade of little-kid character witnesses?

hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

and let's be clear on what I mean by "behavior profile of a pedophile":

Characteristics of a Pedophile :
- Often the pedophile is male and over 30 years of age.
- Single or with few friends in his age group.
- If married, the relationship is more "companion" based with no sexual relations.

Pedophiles Like Child-like Activities:
- He is often fascinated with children and child activities appearing to prefer those activities to adult oriented activities.
- He will often refer to children in pure or angelic terms using descriptives like innocent, heavenly, divine, pure, and other words that describe children but seem inappropriate and exaggerated.
- He has hobbies that are child-like such as collecting popular expensive toys, keeping reptiles or exotic pets, or building plane and car models.

Pedophiles Often Prefer Children Close to Puberty:
- Pedophiles often have a specific age of child they target. Some prefer younger children, some older.
- Often his environment or a special room will be decorated in child-like decor and will appeal to the age and sex of the child he is trying to entice.
- Many pedophiles often prefer children close to puberty who are sexually inexperienced, but curious about sex.

Pedophiles Work Around Children: The pedophile will often be employed in a position that involves daily contact with children. If not employed, he will put himself in a position to do volunteer work with children, often in a supervisory capacity such as sports coaching, contact sport instruction, unsupervised tutoring or a position where he has the opportunity to spend unsupervised time with a child.

The Target Child: The pedophile often seeks out shy, handicapped, and withdrawn children, or those who come from troubled homes or under privileged homes. He then showers them with attention, gifts, taunting them with trips to desirable places like amusement parks, zoo's, concerts, the beach and other such places.

Manipulation of the Innocent: Pedophiles work to master their manipulative skills and often unleash them on troubled children by first becoming their friend, building the the child's self esteem. They may refer to the child as special or mature, appealing to their need to be heard and understood then entice them with adult type activities that are often sexual in content such as x-rated movies or pictures. They offer them alcohol or drugs to hamper their ability to resist activities or recall events that occurred.

Stockholm Syndrome : It is not unusual for the child to develop feelings for the predator and desire their approval and continued acceptance. They will compromise their innate ability to decipher good and bad behavior, ultimately justifying the criminal's bad behavior out of sympathy and concern for the adults welfare. This is often compared to Stockholm Syndrome - when victims become attached emotionally to their captors.

The Single Parent: Many times pedophiles will develop a close relationship with a single parent in order to get close to their children. Once inside the home, they have many opportunities to manipulate the children -- using guilt, fear, and love to confuse the child. If the child's parent works, it offers the pedophile the private time needed to abuse the child.

Fighting Back: Pedophiles work hard at stalking their targets and will patiently work to develop relationships with them. It is not uncommon for them to be developing a long list of potential victims at any one time. Many of them believe that what they are doing is not wrong and that having sex with a child is actually "healthy" for the child.

Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 15 February 2005 21:25 (twenty years ago)

Ok forget it Shakey. You're not Javert. You are not gleefully participating in a witch-hunt. You are not enjoying this. MJ fiddles with kids - why? Well, he fits "the profile." And your jokes are actually funny.

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 21:38 (twenty years ago)

I love how the BBC piece has "the flu" in quotes, like they don't even believe it.

shorter tracer: innocent until proven guilty
shorter shakey: doesn't apply if you "fit the profile"

mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 00:26 (twenty years ago)

wait wait wait - there is a big difference between me expressing my personal opinion (ie, that he's most likely a pedophile) and me saying he should be locked up without a trial. Legally, he is absolutely innocent until proven guilty and that's the way it should be. But my personal conclusion is yes, he "fits the profile".

Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 16 February 2005 00:34 (twenty years ago)

i guess my worry has always been that he has a wealth-pandered and intensified habit of escapism and troubled emotional fantasy which have given him all the outward seemings of the profile w/o ever crossing the line from strange (ultimately self-destructive?) behaviour to actual criminal behaviour, and that the wealth - while it protects him in one sense - also renders him massively a target for chancers and liars and blackmailers, and (lastly) that his documented habit* of dumping "little friends" totally when they bore or aggravate him will have created a pool of angry broken-hearted (never-sexual) "exes" some of whom will get back at him by claiming (unprovably) he DID cross the line, and the "balance of probablities" will fall against him cz he is weird and incapable

*this dumping is clearly assholish w/o being in the slightest bit illegal (adults do it to each other every day): it's wrong bcz abusive in a moral sense - one of the inevitable distortions of sleb-hood's humanity - but it's not criminal

mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 00:47 (twenty years ago)

also i don't believe either side can really hope for a fair trial: it is like OJx10,000,000

mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 00:48 (twenty years ago)

yeah neither side is gonna feel they got a fair shake, no matter what the outcome.

(fwiw I also think OJ totally did it)

Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 16 February 2005 00:58 (twenty years ago)

shakey echoes TOTALLY my thoughts re MJ (and OJ, for that matter).

Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 01:32 (twenty years ago)

I gotta stop saying "totally" all the time.

Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 16 February 2005 01:39 (twenty years ago)

After hearing MJ's persuasive argument attesting his innocence, I'm sure Javert would readily admit that the age of consent should reasonably be lowered to 8.

In 19th-century England the legal age of consent was 12. I'm sure France was not significantly more enlightened in this aspect.

I just wish that years ago, someone had told Michael to spend his money on therapists instead of plastic surgery and a theme park in his backyard. If he'd been in intense therapy for the last 20 years instead of becoming a crazed pedophile circus clown, he might still be recognizably human.

Brian Wilson seems to be doing *slightly* better than MJ, you can probably credit that to some serious therapy...

Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 17 February 2005 00:45 (twenty years ago)

A therapist, at the very least, would have been one person in his life who didn't indulge his every whim. Hopefully.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 February 2005 02:33 (twenty years ago)

I see he's been dangling kids toys from the window of his hospital room. You'd think he'd be trying _not_ to associate the words 'Jackson', 'children' and 'plaything' given his current situation.

Bubbles The Chump, Thursday, 17 February 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

or 'dangling'

dave225 (Dave225), Thursday, 17 February 2005 16:34 (twenty years ago)

Brian Wilson completely surrendered to his therapist during the late 70s and 80s - not exactly a sterling example.

Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Thursday, 17 February 2005 16:43 (twenty years ago)

Indeed, a serious abuse of position that (whilst initially probably helping him) set Wilson back years and cost his family a fortune.

Onimo_, Thursday, 17 February 2005 16:47 (twenty years ago)

And Michael can still hold lengthy and articulate conversations.

(He's vetoed therapy before on intimacy issues (talking to a stranger). It should be legally binding in his case of course)

Michael Jackson has been forced to undergo emergency surgery after his lip burst and collapsed, according to reports.

The singer was photographed trying to conceal his bandaged and plastered face while on a shopping trip in Las Vegas, but now the reason has been confirmed.

His five-year-old son accidentally smacked him in the face, causing the problems with his upper lip, it has been revealed.

A source said: "He was whacked in the face accidentally by his younger son Prince Michael II while playing around and part of Jackson's upper lip collapsed.

"That mishap led an hysterical Jacko to make a beeline for the plastic surgeon for a bit of quickie repair work."

Jackson's spokesperson denied that he had undergone any surgery yesterday.

We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.

Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Jackson had 13 number one hits during his solo career.
