Today, millions of people worldwide will fall silent in a tribute to pop star Michael Jackson. Many a tear will fall. Fans everywhere intend to honour the memory of a "great" man...And they'll all remember the music and not what's been cunningly termed his "colourful private life"
So let's not mention the child abuse allegations, the drug addiction or the massive debt, because, at the end of the day, it's better to remember the song and dance man then the slobbering, penniless paedo who was so hopped up on painkillers he could barely remember who he was.
Makes you wonder what'll happen when Gary Glitter dies. Maybe you'll remember the talented artist rather then the child abuser - I don't think so ...
Ah, I hear you cry, but Glitter was found guilty in court of child abuse, Jackson was never convicted. True, but Glitter didn't have $20 million to buy his way out of trouble. Even Jacko's sister accused him of touching up little boys but later retracted her words when she realised he was going to get away with it.
So, at 6pm tonight, why not all gather together and weep for a dead paedo, why not buy a few of his records too, just to make you feel better about the whole thing - after all he was a "hero", wasn't he?
