Meanwhile, BET banned the video.

Of course he's mean! That's part of his appeal! Did Jacko just realize that Em exists?

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:01 (twenty-one years ago)

ha, as if BET was gonna play it anyway.

― Al (sitcom), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha! "I've admired Eminem as an artist" - do you reckon he admired "Kim"?

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:07 (twenty-one years ago)

"The video was inappropriate and disrespectful to me, my children, my family, and the community at large."

What exactly does "the community at large" mean?

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:09 (twenty-one years ago)

All Jackos fans, which is EVERYONE IN THE WORLD, duh.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Neverland, presumably, unless the bailiffs have already moved in there.

Didn't we go through all this with Jarvis Cocker back in the "Not King Of Pop" days?

"I've admired Eminem as an artist, and was shocked by this."

is there any system of logic or mathematics in the known universe under which the two halves of this sentence could possibly fit together?

Coming soon to an awards show near you: an Eminem and Jacko duet of "I'm Bad," followed by -- you guessed it -- a kiss!

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I hate to say it, but this news makes me actually appreciate Eminem.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

How so, Alex?

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, anyone who offends Michael Jackson is pretty much a-ok aces high in my book.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Harvey also voiced his disgust with the rapper.

"Eminem has lost his ghetto pass,” Harvey declared. “We want the pass back."

...?

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:38 (twenty-one years ago)

If he's lost it, how can he return it?

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Honestly, I'm just waiting for Eminem to endorse Bush and be done with it. Then he pulls a Howard Hughes and hides on an island for fifty years.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Eh? I don't really follow your logic here Ned...

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

In the sense of 'offend EVERYONE and then go away and relax.'

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 15:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Eminem can't lose a ghetto pass for insulting an effeminate white millionaire, can he?
The general word is that all of Em's mix tape stuff released in the past month has been pure fire; I'm more curious than ever to see what the hell could be on the album.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

haha fat chance of that Ned, Em's shilling for the Dems.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

The essential difference between South Park and Eminem finally outlined!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:11 (twenty-one years ago)

The video also sends up Madonna, Pee Wee Herman and MC Hammer.

WHAT IS THIS, 1990????

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:13 (twenty-one years ago)

why would Michael care? i mean. . . can't he realize the song sucks?

― Andrzej B. (Andrzej B.), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:45 (twenty-one years ago)

One also has to wonder about the caliber of parent letting their child appear on a bed with Eminem sending-up Michael Jackson.

― Remy (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Eminem dresses as Jackson for the Just Lose It video, and is shown on a bed with young boys. His nose also falls off and his hair catches fire.

I REALLY want to see this video now. Didn't before...

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

WHAT IS THIS, 1990????

hehe, that's what I thought, too.

Marshall needs some new gags

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 14 October 2004 10:52 (twenty-one years ago)

What's meaner, parodying a pop star's popular image, or fucking a kid up the arse?

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 14 October 2004 11:54 (twenty-one years ago)

You can't handle love
It's up the ass

― Bjork (Dan Perry), Thursday, 14 October 2004 11:58 (twenty-one years ago)

love don't come easy
it's a game of give and gasp

― You've Got to Pick Up Every Stitch (tracerhand), Thursday, 14 October 2004 12:49 (twenty-one years ago)

(eeeeek imagine the Bjork/Phil Collins lovechild)

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Thursday, 14 October 2004 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

A bald sprite.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 14 October 2004 13:47 (twenty-one years ago)

the highlighted lyric quote in that BBC article keeps reminding me of how awful that line is that ends with "accusate", which isn't even a word (in English, at least).

― Al (sitcom), Thursday, 14 October 2004 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Can anyone explain why it is that, whenever I see the title of this thread, the voice I hear in my head saying the words "Hey, you're mean" isn't actually Michael Jackson's at all but Lenny Henry's when he's pretending to be Michael Jackson?
