Of course.
OF COURSE.
Behold. The defenders of Western civilization.

Man, I can’t wait to see the fault lines on this one. Ironically, Joseph Fiennes might even end up giving a bravura performance as Michael Jackson. After all, what’s the point in going this gonzo if you don’t redline the accelerator?

Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’, Michael Jackson
I was in an early Jackson mood a couple of days ago. With ‘early’ being defined as ‘we could still pretend that there wasn’t something going wrong in that poor guy’s head.’ Just… messed up, man. It was all just messed up.
Stuck in my head, man. Stuck in my head.
A couple of things about this:
First off: this is what happens when a song stops being contemporary and starts being myth. I mean, compare that parody to this one*:
The latter assumes that you’ve seen the original; the first merely assumes that you know of the original. Completely different humor.
What the hell happened to that guy? – I know that I’ve wondered that aloud, before. I’ve never really gotten a great answer, though.
Even in death, he bestows gifts unto the media.
[UPDATE]: I have decided that it would be cruel to pursue this thought further. Even if it does sound like something out of a typical RPG campaign.
The one that you want to look up is H. Con. Res. 135.
I tried to stay out of the entire bizarre meltdown that was the Jackson funeral. Really, I did.
So when Representative Sheila Jackson-Lee (Democrat. Oh, my, yes: Democrat): introduced a resolution in Congress honoring the – what did you call Michael Jackson, Rep. Pete King (R)?
Right: low-life, pervert, child molester, and pedophile.
…anyway, when Rep. Jackson-Lee did that, I was silent.
When Rep. Jackson-Lee referred the legislation to the House Foreign Affairs committee, I was silent. Continue reading Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D) and two House Resolutions.
