"Maybe he did touch some children, but come on, it's Michael Jackson!"*

*"South Park"

I've had conversations with people. Quite a few, in fact.

Sometimes Michael Jackson is brought up in the course of certain discussions. I'll inevitably say something like:

"The mammoth piece of shit fucking monster is a goddam serial child molester."

And sometimes the person I'm talking to will say something like:

"Yeah, but you can't deny that Thriller is one of the best records ever."

"BUT"?

There is no but!

The argument seems to be ("South Park" again): "Sure he's touched some children, but he's entertained us for so many years..."

That is, Jackson being evil and disgusting and really, truly, ultra-mega evil is mitigated by the fact he's a gifted performer (which I would dispute).

The shitball could cure every type of cancer, end poverty, end huger, end war, and he'd still be a shitball that needs to be locked up in a cage unfit for that pet monkey he kept around and probably had sex with.

BUT all he's done is sing and dance.

Thriller sucks and Michael Jackson can't die soon enough.
