I know this is old news, but after seeing and hearing all this adulation about the guy, I can’t help but rail against it. 
So, Michael Jackson died and amnesiac people everywhere are morning his death. Amorous TV specials, internet tribute sites, and an jump in record sales seems to suggest that this is a tragic thing. Granted, he was talented and made his share of good music, but I can’t help but think that people are forgetting one important thing about Michael Jackson: HE TOUCHED LITTLE BOYS! WTF?
Again, sure he was among the most gifted musicians ever, but what planet are these people who are mourning his death live on that his talent as an artist supercedes child molestation? I don’t care if his music touched you deeply, he touched kids too deeply! Child molestation is the ultimate trump card in determining somebody’s worth. “Awe, he donated so much to charities and was such a humanitarian, what a swell guy… Wait, he did what? He tried to get into little boys’ Billie Jeans? Yeah, he’s a piece of shit.”
If the Pope brokered middle east peace, unified Christians and Muslims, and found the cure for cancer – but also molested children, isn’t he still a perverted asshole? Isn’t he still going to hell? I don’t care how nice of a person you are or how much joy you brought to other people’s lives, you are a piece of shit miscreant if you molest children.
And please don’t give me the: He was never convicted of any wrong doing in the court of law. Neither was OJ (until recently, and not for killing two people) we all know he did it. The guy had a fucked up childhood and had some issues, but that doesn’t give him carte blanche to be a sexual deviant with children. He should have gotten counseling for his issues like a normal person. Not build an amusement park in his backyard to lure unsuspecting kids to his lair so he can live out his Peter Pan-esque fantasies.
I don’t care what good things you do in your life, if you sexually abuse anyone, you earn a spot on my list of people I would like to see die a painful death. So what if he could dance? So what if he could sing? Jacko was a sicko and not someone who is worthy of our praises. I hope he is moonwalking his way through hell. I’m happy he’s dead.
I’m not saying people aren’t aloud [sic] to make mistakes. There are plenty people out there who despite their foibles are decent individuals. I know nobody’s perfect. However, when I’m running down my checklist of things that are acceptable and not acceptable, abusing children is up at the top of the list, right above smacking women and knowingly spreading herpes.
You’re an alcoholic; okay, I hope you work through it. You manipulate people; sure, everybody does that from time to time. You aren’t considerate of others; I get that, neither am I, but touching children inappropriately is never, and I mean never, okay.
You don’t pass GO or collect $200, you go directly to hell, even if you are an amazing person otherwise. If anything it makes me even angrier at you because I would probably have liked you and you could have achieved a lot in life and instead I have to put you in the “happy to read your obituary” column. So please, don’t forget that Michael Jackson was a vile and wretched human being, who just happened to write catchy tunes and dance well. Fuck him, I wish he had died sooner.
