Sometimes punchlines write themselves. From CNN: LONDON, England -- Pop superstar Michael Jackson is due to deliver a lecture on child welfare at a UK university on Tuesday. His speech at Oxford University was expected to focus on Heal the Kids, a charity that Jackson set up in 2000 with Rabbi Schmuely Botech, 42, author of Kosher Sex and The Jewish Guide to Adultery. Heal the Kids is also a subsidiary of Jackson's Heal the World Foundation and is dedicated to "promoting nurturing relationships between parents and children." The organisation counts former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres and screen icon Elizabeth Taylor as board members. Jackson’s appearance at The Oxford Union follows that of O.J. Simpson, Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams, and Malcolm X. During his UK visit, the 'King of Pop' was also planning to act as best man at the wedding of psychic Uri Geller and make an appearance at the 10th annual Michael Jackson Day at London's Appollo Theatre. The singer arrived at London's Heathrow Airport on Sunday nursing a damaged leg. Jackson, renowned for his famous "moonwalk" dance, was in a plaster cast following a fall at his California ranch. "It's very painful," he told reporters. "I've broken two bones in my foot and it hurts." In 1993 Jackson made a cash payment to the parents of a 13-year-old boy who claimed the pop star had abused their son. Jackson denied the allegations. ------------------ In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
Well, other than the obvious fact that Mr. Jackson is a child molestor giving a lecture on child welfare, there is this: "Jackson’s appearance at The Oxford Union follows that of O.J. Simpson..." Maybe O.J.'s lecture was on maintaining a healthy relationship with your ex. ------------------ In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance.

When was Micheal Jackson Convicted of Child Molestation? Rocket River If everyone Accused of something is guilty I don't think anyone in america should be free. ------------------
Well, OJ wasn't convicted of anything either, if you want to look at it that way. Either you believe he did it or you don't. I do think that the payment to the boy's family speaks poorly as to his innocence. ------------------ In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance.

Perhaps Clinton can lecture on fidelity next week. and so as not to turn this into yet another political debate.. maybe the week after that, Rush Limbaugh can give a speech on how we need to spend more tax dollars on welfare. ------------------ stop posting my damn signature
What convincing proof is there that the guy was a child molestor? And the fact that he paid the boys parents mean NOTHING! How many times have people settled out of court to avoid a lengthy, damaging court case? I've seen innocent people forced to settle out of court just to save their reputation. People jump to conclusions, and there is nothing a person can do, even if they're innocent. The same people that assume Michael Jackson is guilty for settling out of court would have assumed he was guilty if he won a 6 year court case. It just wasn't worth it, innocent or not. Besides if he was as guilty as people say, why didn't the parents make an example of him and send him to jail instead of taking the money and running? ------------------ Rocks2001 in disguise. . .
Well, almost. The proper analogy would be for Rush Limbaugh to give a lecture on truth in journalism! ------------------ "Blues is a Healer" --John Lee Hooker

I can't comment on Mike's Facial situation [other than thinking he is a victim or too much money .. . too much freedom and too much free time] But hell . . . Like RocksMill stated even if he was cleared many would think he was guilty . .. so why bother with a BS side show of a trial to prove what? Hell Aqquittal in a trial means nothing in the court of public opinion [ask OJ] Either people like you or they don't your guilt or innocence is based on that Honestly I think Mike is a hell of a nice guy he has gone about and beyond to help children and help feed the hungry his generousity and spirit are strong and positive. His personal decisions about his complexion face etc are just that . .. personal we all make decisions. . . . What really makes mike's behavior odd? BUying the animals. Hell you have enough money and free time to have your EVERY WHIM catered too . . . I wonder what would be in your back yard. He like children . . .HE is soft spoken he went a lil crazy with elective surgery I just wonder . . . . . Rocket River ------------------
