Huh, what's going on here? Surely 2005 hasn't rolled around again has it? We all know that legally, Michael Jackson most definitely did nothing with children. Sexually speaking of course. Once the innocent verdict was passed, scenes of celebration from his followers were broadcast to the world.
Fast-forward to 2010 where the world is without Michael Jackson and instead we have to put up with pop stars like Justin Bieber. Actually, he's the sort of artist Jackson would have loved. Y’know, young, fresh and probably still a virgin.
Even we know that it's unrealistic for Jackson to get out his golden coffin and feast on the genitals of a young man, but what if you’re still alive and impersonate Michael Jackson for a living?
If you're a fan of someone or something, quite often it's unsurprising to see flocks of people copying a certain look. Be it a new Victoria Beckham hairstyle, a misspelt tattoo in the style of Rihanna or a Lady Gaga dress made out of five kilos of Cumberland sausage mix. The only downside of being a Michael Jackson fan was that it was nearly impossible to mimic half the antics the wacky pop star did.
Let us explain:
a) A lot of households have pets. From a cuddly cat to a dependable dog, there are pets for all to love and cherish. But a sodding monkey? Yes, we can all nip down to our local animal shelter, pick one up and then giggle in unison as it defecates all over the carpets and smears it in to the walls.
b) Now and again, we all have a splurge on a fancy new item. Be it a new laptop, car or even jewellery, everyone likes a treat. However, Michael Jackson literally pissed all of his money away on all sorts of crap. From horrid statues and overvalued paintings, shop keepers must have hiked up their prices when they saw him coming. Part of us wants us to believe he'd try and build a house out of sweets and biscuits like in Hansel & Gretel.
c) Going to the funfair can be a mixed experience. Whilst children initially enjoy being thrown around by rusting death-traps before vomiting up ice-cream, parents keep one eye on the operators who are looking for an easy pickpocket. But after having multiple bouts of botched surgery that could land you the starring role in a Victorian freak show, you probably wouldn't want to go outside. Hence the creation of Neverland, an eerie place where a grown man would be surrounded by exotic animals, rides and plenty of tears.
Unless you have the funds to do so, most of the above couldn't be replicated on a scale by many people. Sadly, some of the supposed things that Michael Jackson did do can be done by anyone who is sick enough in the head.
The Newshearld.com reports of one such bell-end who has been found guilty of child abuse:
?Ricardo West, known Downriver as a Michael Jackson impersonator, had pleaded guilty September 15th to one count of child sexually abusive activity and one count of criminal sexual conduct in the second degree. During his testimony, Miller said police found a list titled ?Remarketing Plan? in West?s bedroom. There were 11 items on the list, including ?be seen with adults in public,? ?stop obsessively texting,? ?cut off ties to ?MJ? (Michael Jackson) in public? and ?stop talking to kids in public.?
Alongside giving prison inmates a new anus to tear in to, Ricardo West will also be tagged for life to make sure he doesn't get accused of any more wrong doings ? just like Michael Jackson.
Failing that, a suitable punishment would be a daily whipping from Joe Jackson, we know how that worked out for the rotting king of pop.

Get a freakin’ life. One that doesnt include bitching about the worlds most amazing man.
dofjdfgh says
WTF?!!! What the hell is this? You say that no, he didnt do anything wrong, but throughout the whole article you continue to insult him in ways I would never have imagined! Stop abusing people with your harsh words and try to say something nice. You know the saying. Instead of writing something to do with the name of the article, you have just made a site with another excuse to throw even more insults to the man that has more fans than you ever could.
TAMMY says
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ABOUT KEEP MJ OUT OF WHAT EVER SHIT IS GOING ON WHAT THE HELL REALLY IS THIS SHIT ABOUT
rachael says
what a darn disgusting disrespectful article!
MICHAEL WAS PROVEN INNOCENT IN A COURT OF LAW AND IF YOU STILL THINK HE WAS GUILTY YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF FOR THE SAKE OF HIS POOR CHILDREN!
how the heck are they gonna cope when they see articles like that?! even if Michael was guilty, making fun of his does not make you any better because pedophilia is NOT a joke and laughing about it is disrespectful to the victims and their loved ones.
il ask that you take this article DOWN now and i hope you get no more hits for this sick piece of so-called journalism!
SeabreezeLLL says
WTF IS THIS SHIT??? JEALOUS MUCH? TAKE THIS ARTICLE OFF THIS SITE!!!! IT IS A DISGRACE AND YOU, THE WRITER ARE A DISGRACE TO MANKIND.
Louis says
This article is really wierd..
you arsehole mathew says
you call yourself a journalist mathew?
what a croc of shite you write!!
what a sad individual you are to make up this pathetic attempt of an article
you should be ashamed of yourself!!
Rebecca Fitch LaPointe says
What, do you like little kids and trying to blame someone else…So jealous cause all’s you can afford to buy is a dumptruck? Grow up, Michael earned every penny and gave 1/2 of it away to charities, bet you don’t do that!!!!! So many people are jealous of MJ..I bet you’re an American…Am I right?
Zaira says
WOOW !! You must LOVE Michael coz you talk about him A LOT!!

Samba says
Wow…i cant believe crap like this is still published…a man’s life, reputation and legacy is not a joke which people like you continuously try to tarnish and destroy. I suggest you check up on your facts before you make a mockery out of someone’s life regarding such a serious issue such as peadophilia. And please show some respect for someone who is no longer with us and who gave so much to the world. I guess this is the type of article you would want to be published about you when you pass away. Peace and Love.
BG says
Just a big bucket of crap !
Thatgirl! says
Rude….just plain rude & disrespectful to his legacy. I am tired of wanna be journalists using MJs name to get attention. Another non talent trying to justify their existence by penning a misinformed article based on the speculation of bottom feeders. You people disgust me. You lable MJ as Waco-Jacko & make fun of him while discrediting his accomplishments. Yet you continue to feature stories on him to get numbers of hits & readers.
Jan says
MJ was innocent! why do crappy blogs keep repeating garbage about him?
cheryl says
being an mj fan i’ll never click on this site again. trash is all it is.
Sara says
Wow your really stupid. Michael was a caring man who just wanted to spread the word of love. Your just an idiot get a life, stop making fun of people who are dead and its because of people like you why hes dead. Wow your so intelligent, you can make fun of someone who is dead, congrats. Marlon said at Michael’s memorial maybe now they will leave you alone, and arrogant people like you are the only ones that dont leave him alone. Maybe you should focus more on the actual story than telling lies and trying to be cool.
bab says
WHEN ARE U JUST GONE LET THE MAN REST IN PEACE!!!!!!!!!
Anonymously says
Your article is gross! It would have been gross in 2005, it’s gross now. I know it’s about the impersonator, but you cannot blame the deceased Michael for the stupid impersonator’s actions. Two different people.
jane doe says
ok this is some plain bullshit. If you have somethin to say about michael jackson thats rude or bitchy in anyway, i suggest you go shit on yourself cause i bet no one here likes this damn article. its a stupid, fake piece of shit based on your fucked up opinion. Go fuck yourself you cuntrag.
Kat says
You are such an ass but keep writing articles like this because it gives the people, who love MJ and know the TRUTH about MJ, a chance to post the TRUTH for ALL who come to read your stupid articles. So, in a way, thank you because some of you readers only know what tabloids(like this one) say about MJ. After reading the comments from people who love MJ and know the TRUTH about MJ, some people may realize Michael Jackson was a kind man, a loving man, he loved us all and would do anything for anyone. He is also an innocent man. He loved children more than anything. and only perverts like you would think of that in a sexual way.
Pansie says
You are such a extremely disgusting chauvinistic pig that you smell to high heavenjust like this disgusting article you wrote. Maybe you are getting out your true feelings as a paedophile and you couldn’t simply confess it but hide behind MJ’s name because he is the target you disgusting creatures use as practice target. you morph.
MJ Haters dont take a vacation says
Why the hell dont you take the nearest exit off the fr@#$%ng planet and dont bother to return you disgusting left over piece of humanoid s$%t. You disgust me. I am so thankful that MJ had self respect, a kind kindred spirit, a caring soul, and a DECENT and HUMBLE persona. Something that is sooo foreign to you you sorry piece of existence
Pansie says
when are you sorry excuses for journalists going to stop the sick garbage you constantly spew about Michael. Is it that he was too decent for you freaks? You disgust me. But then again your kind can never rise above the level of the garbage you spew, you just dont have the brains to do so
James says
The only thing “wacky” here is you and your article.
Caring for the rest of the animal kingdom & thus wanting your own menagerie makes you weird? I guess animal caretakers (and the aristocrats of the past) must be plain kooky.
Loving theme parks (loving the idea of avoiding lines, having access to theme-park fun whenever you want) makes you weird? By that logic, children are just plain outlandish. Where is the law that mandates we all stop loving animals and fun when we grow up?
Loving art and splurging on artwork is weird? Call up all the fine art connoisseurs and inform them of their freakishness. Is this article serious?
Once again, another unwarranted attempt by the media to defame Michael Jackson.
The whole premise of this article is just laughable: “oh hey, let’s insinuate guilt on Michael Jackson for the actions of another person!” LOL.
There’s one bit of untarnished truth here though: you don’t need oodles of money to be like Michael Jackson. For instance, caring about the Earth & all of its creatures (including fellow man, the impoverished & sickly); inspiring instead of demoralizing; raising awareness and spreading truth about the injustices of the world.
Yeah, he’s oh-so absurd. Don’t emulate the man at all. /sarcasm
Ricardo West did not and does not deserve the privilege of being called a Michael Jackson impersonator. It’s not the costume, but the heart, that truly makes you one.
Spotlight says
That a website like this should even be allowed to exist is a sorry excuse for exercising one’s free speech! Matthew LAID-LOW? With a name like that, you should think twice before you write despicable filth like this! You are suffering from a severe case of Genius Envy – and I would guess an even worse case of crotch itch!
Read again what you wrote: “Michael Jackson literally pissed all of his money away on all sorts of crap. From horrid statues and overvalued paintings, shop keepers must have hiked up their prices when they saw him coming.” You find it offensive that Michael spent his OWN money on statues and paintings that HE liked, yet you have no issue with the shopkeepers who likely cheated Michael by grossly inflating their prices? They call people like that CROOKS! Are you also offended by the fact that Michael gave his own money and raised $300 million for charity in his short lifetime?
Your rantings are not about Michael Jackson, who was a brilliantly gifted, inspirational, loving, generous and INNOCENT human being, and the world at large knows it. Your article exposes the “real pervert” that lives within you and others like you, who cloak your inner demons with a phony self righteousness! You are a jealous, shallow, lowbrow, left wing moron. Now go take care of that itch.
nick says
the “author” of this piece of … sh#t is disgusting as the whole text he wrote when he was seating on his WC trying to find inspiration.
I really hope people like you will go to hell.
MJ Is the King of POP and King of children. He was proven innocent.
STOP THROWING GARBAGE AND INSULT ON HIM!
D.B says
This is possibly the worst piece of journalism I’ve read in a long time. Did you BUY your degree?? Says alot about your employer too! Losers attract losers So Sad!
Spotlight says
Nick, I feel your anger and did the best I could to let this “author” (and I use that word loosely) know that we see through the veil of manure he spreads around. There is a reason why Michael Jackson is the world’s most loved human being, and that includes being revered by royalty, political figures and dignitaries alike. And yes, Mr. LAIDLOW…that includes the CHILDREN of the world! Any child who was ever blessed by Michael’s compassion knew instinctively (as most children do) that they were in the presence of the purest kind of love there is. And that has some people frustrated about their own tainted view of human relationships. They cannot process that an adult man who was an electrifying entertainer in public, could possess a pure heart and soul, and be without malice. And that is a sad commentary on the human condition, that some people would ridicule and mock, even destroy such a human being. Michael lived with a passion for helping others and was driven by a purpose larger than his own life. He also refused to let the child within his own heart die and looked at the world around him with the same untainted innocence. Michael was totally devoid of corruption and could not even process the notion of corrupting or harming anyone, let alone a child. He was the biggest advocate of children’s rights and committed to restoring the family unit to nourish the mind, spirit and self esteem of children. Michael owed the world nothing, but the world owes HIM so much. A dark soul emerges from every one of these putrid editorials, and makes me question the parenting skills of anyone who can write with such vitriol. Be patient, and one day they will eat those words, and hopefully vomit from the taste. Michael was an angel who walked the earth. God bless his beautiful soul.
Fed up of people exploting and using MJ's name! says
Leave michael jackson alone!let his soul rest in peace for his children’s and god sake!
MJ was/is a pure innocent genuine loving man with a gold heart.he’s a great humanitarian,philanhropist and giving man and great hu man being. get a life!
Lng live the sweet angel king!!!
Linda Jackson says
Michael Jackson was aquitted of all charges!!
Jordy Chandler ADMITTED he lied for his father.
So get ur facts right.
I’m sick of IGNORANT people like you.
Lyndsey says
You should be truly ashamed of yourself. What a disgusting article! And complete nonsense… get a life and leave Michael alone.
Cookie Monster says
Oh, my. So many harsh critics. I thought that this article was quite fine. Mr Laidlow may, or may not, be a disgrace to mankind, so I won’t comment on that. Well, yes I will. Though he could be, or may even be, scummily scum scum, he’s a witty bit of scum, if indeed, he is scum.
On it’s own merits, this was a well-developed bit of heckling. It began with a blunt, perhaps even blunting, hit of Jackson. It then showed a firm, though slight – yet well formed – mid section. The climax delivered a salty bit, along with a flash of red leather. It was much like my childhood stay in Uncle Mike’s second bedroom at Neverland, but without the child-rape.
Cookie Monster says
Ah, spotlight, it is good that you shine! I checked the Oxfordish Encyclopedia Wiki OF THE WORLD and/or UNIVERSE, and determined that Michael Jackson did not, at any time, pee money on all manner of shit. Upon further investigation, this would have required a fatal amount of painkillers, very tiny bills or coins, and a functioning penis. For shame Laidlow, for shame. Gimmers’ research staff would not have made such an error, and Heritage would sooner quit than… oh.
Ceci says
FUCK YOU. NO ONE BASHES MICHAEL! HE IS THE KING OF POP! YOU’RE PROBABLY JUST JEALOUS, YOU PRICKLESS MOTHERFUCKER.
shadowmia says
If anyone is sick in the head, it is matt laidlow. Anyone who gets off on making nasty inferences & statements about someone he knows is innocent and who, in addition, attempts to make a career of his sick implications needs prompt psychiatric help. Personally, I’ll avoid wasting my time on anything with laidlow’s byline in the future
spotlight says
Cookie Monster – you say it’s good that I shine? I AM LIVID! My twenty years in the entertainment industry exposed me to the media’s underhanded tactics and their role in the personal destruction of Michael Jackson. My fifteen months of intensive research from his childhood throughout his adult life is readily documented for anyone who cares enough to learn about the human being. You may think you sound erudite, but you speak from a tabloid education and a closed mind. Would you like to quantify the statements you made below so that I can better understand what the hell you’re talking about?
“Michael Jackson did not, at any time, pee money on all manner of shit . . . this would have required a fatal amount of painkillers, very tiny bills or coins, and a functioning penis.” HOW DOES YOUR PENIS FUNCTION?
“. . . much like my childhood stay in Uncle Mike’s second bedroom at Neverland, but without the child-rape.” WERE YOU EVER GUEST A GUEST AT NEVERLAND – AND DISAPPOINTED MICHAEL DID NOT ASSAULT YOU?
An effective writer gets their point across the first time, yet you write with ambiguity. So what’s up with that? You’re actually critiquing Laidlow and praising his talent as a witty heckler? This is not heckling, especially when it’s done on the grave of a man who unselfishly gave more to the world than you could ever imagine. When does this stop? I will never understand how an author writing this kind of editorial against an innocent person can feel good about themselves at the end of the day. I would rather bag groceries for a living than be paid for having taken part in the public demise of an innocent human being. Did you notice how the media and people like Laidlow continue to feast on his bones like vultures, proving they just can’t seem to get enough of Michael Jackson!
Let me guess…you must be Laidlow’s cousin, right? Or maybe you’re Laidlow undercover. Two like you would be TWO too many!
Deep down, admit it – you love Michael Jackson!
JoeMomma says
All MJ fans should not be allowed to vote.
Fruity Lucy says
Wow, more proof that Wacko fans have zero sense of humour. Probably because Michael Jackson was a pedophile.
Cookie Monster says
You just made my day, yet again. I consider you a great talent, Spotty (can I call you “Spotty”; I feel like we’re really connecting). That makes it much harder for me to let you down, Spotmeister. I’m afraid that I cannot possibly ‘quantify’ either of the bits that you quoted. If I had to take a guess, I would say three for the first, and possibly eight and one-half for the second. Do let me know if those quantities prove lacking, or are unreasonably high. That ‘one-half’ may set you off, as it’s a little ambiguous. It’s just that eight seems too low, and nine too high.
Hold the press; did you mean “qualify”? Yes, of course you did, you silly Spottalicious. The first is a poor play on a line in the article, which reads “Jackson literally pissed all of his money away”. Though I’ve not ever met Laidlow, or had anything to do with him beyond reading his posts, I’m willing to bet that there was a audible groan if he read that. Try to use the Google for finding information about how a penis functions (just don’t do it at work, though, I suppose it depends on which branch of the entertainment business that you’re in).
On the second, I have yet to be an in-person guest at Neverland. I wouldn’t be surprised if at least one blue-furred, and slightly smaller, representation of me spent a night or two there, perhaps between the Kermit and Miss Piggy dolls. That makes the second question moot, though I shiver to think of what some poort Cookie Monster doll may have witnessed.

If your mother dies (if you have and if you love her, of course) it will not be funny to hear jokes about that. the internet is a media to also see the best or worst of the people, Conclusion: you people ARE disgusting
budsgirl11954 says
It is useless to try to discuss Michael Jackson with the author and the people on here who are basically just trying to rile up the emotions of his supporters. This is Laidlow’s forte. He is not a journalist in any sense of the word and he pens sarcastic articles to get these types of anticipated responses. The haters continue to make misstatements and repeat the rumors that the malicious press have perpetuated against this MJ for 25yrs. Repeating a lie doesn’t make it truth…. even though that’s exactly what the media has done. They implanted soundbites into the unsuspecting and very gullible public as proven here by the unintelligent comments. Thankfully, CEThomson has exposed the tendency of the media to ride on the distortions and negative speculations surrounding MJ. Please read CEThomson on the HuffingtonPost website; his article “The Most Shameful Episode in Journalistic History”, as it is very enlightening to anyone who really wants to discern truth. The public on the whole will swallow what’s presented in the press. They accept the spin without using their own judgement or logic to find the truth. Fact is they are lazy. It is easy to ape what has been repeated in the press without fully investigating, but I would challenge them all to do so.

VanessaL says
Mr. Laidlow….Really what is this article for?? None of what you said here makes any sense, you ramble all over the place. Even after knowing that Mr. Jackson was clear on all 14 charges, you still ran off at the mouth and called him all kinds of names. Now grant you, Mr. Jackson did not live his life like you think he should have, but you were not him, so what makes you think he should have live it any other way then he did. It was his life, peoples like you are the reason he had to be cage up, cover up, and now you are trying to find a way to say something was wrong with him. NO it was not him, it was you and peoples like you. You never spoke with Mr. Jackson, you never ask him his feeling, you have assume things and read other peoples trash talk and now you have jump on board to get yourself a few hits off him too. Well let me tell you something Mr. Laidlow, if you had half the heart Mr. Jackson had in his chest this world would be a wonderful place to call ours, and we wouldn’t have to worry about running across articles like this, just so you could gets some clicks for today. But when night falls I hope you are able to sleep, knowing you are just like the rest…full of BULLCRAP……………….

Are you the tacky jangled ex-employee who was recently fired from the benquirer? What you are writing here is pure slander! I am so sickened by the way Michael Jackson was mistreated in life. The man was found NOT GUILTY!!!!!!!!!! Even in death he is still being judged and made fun of by idiots who would rather lie about him then write the simple truth: Michael Jackson was and always be an INNOCENT man!!!
Gail says
I agree with you 100%!
