Michael Jackson, the program no one wants to comment on....
Mr Whippy - 17/12/08 at 08:23 AM

Did you watch that program last night? we did

Have to say I was shocked at what people round him, let him get away with.

Just shows that if you have the money you can do whatever you like and still not go to jail

ill comment, but I didn't see it

ooh how shocking

I can't imagine the circumstances under which I would want to watch a program about Michael Jackson, unless maybe it was his public execution, but I would be too squeamish to watch the climax

Well it wasn't really an autobiography, more what the trials were all about and his friends and work colleagues revealing what they knew was going on. Not good at all.

Am I the only one who remembers the pepsi 'taste of a new generation' ads that he did? They were withdrawn pretty quick!!
Couldn't be much more unfortunate choice of slogan.

michael jackson has no money, he's about 360 million in debt! everything he has is in equity!

02GF74 - 17/12/08 at 11:54 AM

yeah, but he is in America right?

some comedian stated that to be american:

1. you have a spelling of words that misses out those tricky letters
2. drive cars that make that squealy sound when they pull away
3. have a judicial system where a man is innocent providing he can pay enough to prove it.

hundreds of millions in debt and he's still evading taxes! how can he even have business? certainly wish I had his kind of accountants

He probably still gets royalties for his music, both in sales, and playing rights.

Cant stand the bloke. a real weirdo if ever there was one.


What channel was it on and is there a repeat so I can sit and Boo at the TV?

Unless he's sold it to clear debts he gets a huge amount for owning the rights to The Beatles back-catalog.

He beat McCartney in bidding when it was sold a few years back.

Cheers,
James

every one seems to forget, no matter how much you hate the perv? in is hay day he was a brilliant singer/dancer. thats how he made the dollers to outbid macca.
