Jacko the Wacko

Great article in the Detroit Free Press on just how weird Michael Jackson was, and how strange it is that so many people are falling all over themselves to praise him as some sort of saint.

"Michael Jackson left this world three days ago. But he hadn't been living in it for a long time.

In fact, it's hard to think of a celebrity who had less to do with the real world than Jackson. In the real world, you don't have pet llamas or roller coasters in your backyard. In the real world, if you're $400 million in debt, people aren't still lending you money. In the real world, you don't buy human bones, wear lipstick as a man or sleep with other people's children in your bedroom."

That's two articles in a row from the Free Press, for those who are counting. Thanks to Matt for passing it along.
