In 2003 Michael "Jacko" Jackson self-inflicted a wound on his arm.

The article says he did this is to make it look like he was abused by the police

EVERYONE knows he has inappropriate relations with children, and this is more evidence that MJ is being deceptive.

No wonder he isn't coming back to the US, he knows he could be tried for falsifying claims against the police.

Hey Cody!

[Cody Dawg]

This is a good thread, yes. It has all the elements: Celebrity, melodrama, and flair.

Why he won't be charged with a crime is a wonder. It's like he's the Teflon Don or something. I just wish he'd run out of money and then his shenanigans would stop. Did you read how his supposed "charities" that he makes songs for aren't really charities? He actually pockets and keeps the money himself!

The guy is a horror.

[Kerrigan]

But its just a matter of time before every nut in the lounge runs to Jacko's defense

[Ghoser777]

Woh now! Cody, could you kindly provide a link to where you read about him pocketing the money from the charities? Not that it's not possible... I've just never heard that before.

[Cody Dawg]

Sure...

Right here is the link.

But what does cutting a charity single really mean to Jackson? According to insiders, he told lawyers in the deposition that he retained the copyright to “What More Can I Give?” and had no intention of donating the proceeds from the publishing.

In Jackson’s view — which will come out at the Schaffel trial via his still unseen videotaped performance on the stand — it would be crazy for him to donate the rights to a song to a charity.

Instead, Jackson’s idea of a charity single — and this would apply to the still unreleased song he was planning for survivors of the now 10-months-ago Hurricane Katrina — is to turn over the money from sales of a CD.

Everyone on the CD is supposed to waive their fees, too, including the musicians, performers and engineers. But rights to the music remain with him, and he would reap the financial rewards.

Jackson told the attorneys in the deposition, and I am paraphrasing without a direct transcript available: “I don’t know songwriters who give their royalties to charity. To give the royalty rights, that’s a lot of money to give away.”

When asked whether the idea was to give “zero percent” of the royalties to “What More Can I Give?” to charity, Jackson is said to have responded: “I told you so, yes.”

[Kerrigan]

the whole thing is ironic, especially the song title "What more can I give?" (which itself can be interpreted two ways hehe)

[Cody Dawg]

That's very funny, Kerrigan!

He lost his marbles long ago.

"Months later, in 2004, an investigation proved that Jackson had not suffered any kind of unusual harassment at the hands of the sheriffs."

How did they prove this?

Spliffdaddy and Abe used their "gut" feelings to prove it.

Did you read the article? They used pictures and timetables.

[Cody Dawg]

And Jacko's own words in a deposition.

[Kerrigan]

Makes no difference: Jackson has sung songs about the environment, and he allegedly molests children, so he's a natural ally to the leftists of MacNN.

Hey if it is on fox news it must be true

...So you're implying Liberals are child molesters? Nice.

[Kerrigan]

Allegedly, yes

Threads like this have been going on well before Cody entered the picture.
