Cliche:

• This wasn't helped by him admitting that he did allow preteen children to sleep in the same bed as him, which suggests an extremely slippery slope.

Now I'm not asking much. I only want someone to give me the source from where they heard this, because otherwise, this qualifies as libel, and frankly, the man's had enough of that over the years. 05/13/09

Sapphire Forever:

• This was from his interview with Martin Bashir in 2003; a transcript with the relevant info is here.

Inkblot: Can we please keep the jokes to a minimum now that the guy's a stiff? I know he may or may not be a Disciple Of Pedobear, but right now it's just Too Soon.

Satanic Hamster: Great, the links I posted to Jackson's videos got nuked during that mini-edit war. No biggie, I'll just repost them later after this blows over.

Sapphire Again: Hopefully that won't be too much longer. What a shame; I expected better from our fellow tropers.

Satanic Hamster: Yeah but Jackson's legacy great and unique as it is, is marred by the charges of child molestation and the rather odd behavior.

Clerval This page is seriously filling up with natter and justifying edits.

Sapphire Again: Agreed. I would try and trim a few of them — the stuff under The Woobie for example, as for a lot of people he was more a case of Small Name Big Ego — but Jackson's fanbase being what it is, they might just fill it up again, so I'm not sure what to do.

Doc Strange: I just removed alot of them. I know we don't have POV stuff, but all of these Unknown Tropers adding POV edits to this is just getting ridiculous. They're removing stuff like Memetic Molester and Worst News Judgment Ever listings which I must have added back four or five times. And they add stuff like "Mary luvs you MJ!!!" (which thankfully is removed quite fast).

:Even so, isn't the antisemitism significant enough to mention?

Midnight Man: Say, how come that tropefest Moonwalker doesn't have an article of its own yet? It deserves one badly IMHO.

• Sapphire Redux: It has one now! Come on in and help it grow!
