heard on CNN this morning that he left the Beatles catalog to Paul McCartney... classy, but probably not so great for his kids.

If he gave just the beatles stuff it's not that big of a lost. Some former sony exec was talking last night about his holdings and said current value was probably around 500 million and the beatles were just a portion (and he only paid 50 million for those). Also owned much of his own stuff as well as elvis and some others.

He had musical talent, no doubt. But I think you are confusing being a good businessman with being a good 9 year old's penis toucher.

He was obviously gay. If he had chosen his partners with an age of at least 18, there would have been no problems with all the children he reportedly molested.

As far as being a successful businessman, he died with a net worth of negative $400,000,000.00

In 2003, Jackson was arrested on charges that he molested another 13-year-old boy. The 2005 trial, which ultimately ended in an acquittal, brought to light more details of Jackson's strained finances.

One forensic accountant testified that the singer had an "ongoing cash crisis" and was spending $20 million to $30 million more per year than he earned.

In March of last year, the singer faced foreclosure on Neverland. He also repeatedly failed to make mortgage payments on a house in Los Angeles that had been used for years by his family.

In addition, Jackson was forced to defend himself against a slew of lawsuits in recent years, including a $7 million claim from Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the second son of the king of Bahrain.

Memorabilia auctions were frequently announced but became the subject of legal wrangling and were often canceled.

Time and again, however, Jackson found a way to wring cash out of high-value assets, borrowing tens of millions at a time or leaning on wealthy friends for advice, if not for money.

Al Khalifa, 33, took Jackson under his wing after his acquittal, moving him to the small Gulf estate and showering him with money.

In his lawsuit, Al Khalifa claimed he gave Jackson millions of dollars to help shore up his finances, cut an album, write an autobiography and subsidize his lifestyle -- including more than $300,000 for a "motivational guru." The lawsuit was settled last year for an undisclosed amount. Neither the album nor book was ever produced.

Another wealthy benefactor came to Jackson's aid last year as he faced the prospect of losing Neverland in a public auction.

All that being said, I dont think its necessary to spit on a dead mans grave, everything is being 'remembered' at this time.

I used to like his music too until about the early 90s when my tastes changed.

The value of his holdings in the Beatles catalog are estimated to be worth $1 billion or so, so -$400M probably isn't correct.

The rule of 3s??

If you believe in "the rule of 3's", then you are of substandard intelligence.

Exactly, when everyone knows its the actually the rule of 2.99999999999999999999999!

Don't know you that 2.9999999999999999 = 3?

2.9999999999999999 != 3

Try reading up on sexual molestation before you make another dumb ass claim like the one above.

The desire to have sexual contact with underaged children is a mental illness that has NOTHING to do with sexual orientation. In fact most men who molest young boys are completely straight.

Ehhh... yes.

Look it up for yourself.
Abstract
A random sample of 175 males convicted of sexual assault against children was screened with reference to their adult sexual orientation and the sex of their victims. The sample divided fairly evenly into two groups based on whether they were sexually fixated exclusively on children or had regressed from peer relationships. Female children were victimized nearly twice as often as male children. All regressed offenders, whether their victims were male or female children, were heterosexual in their adult orientation. There were no examples of regression to child victims among peer-oriented, homosexual males. The possibility emerges that homosexuality and homosexual pedophilia may be mutually exclusive and that the adult heterosexual male constitutes a greater risk to the underage child than does the adult homosexual male.

No surprise.

Michael was accidently killed via an overdose. The details from yesterday seemed to make that clear. He was given a shot and then died afterwards.

ProfJohn I know your trolling is your forte' so Ill not bother. His sexual preference was for males, you can throw your pscyobabble around and Ill dismiss it as such. Pyscobabble. Males who prefer males are not straight they are gay, and anyone who argues otherwise is a pyschobabbler with misleading facts and figures to shield males who prefer males.

BTW you are the one trolling with your 'gay' comment.

Unless I see medical proof he died from drugs it's all shens. He had tons of issues, but that doesn't mean he used any drugs.


Quoted for hilarity.

Besides that fact that his children were born after insemination, the sham marriage to Lisa Marie Presley, etc, can you provide any evidence he was at all heterosexual?

Lisa Marie claims that they had a 'normal' marriage.

He was married a second time and got her pregnant.

The insemination thing proves nothing.

BTW you are the one making the accusation, it is your job to prove he is gay, not my job to prove he is straight.
