Wacko

Jacko put this man out of work. There he was, making a perfectly fine living just looking like Michael Jackson, and now nobody wants him since the real Jackson got busted on child molestation charges again. Who is gonna hire this guy for their kid’s birthday party now?

A little over a decade ago Marcia Clark was the tough, but not tough enough, Prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial. Now she is working as a reporter for Entertainment Tonight covering the Michael Jackson beat. Is absolutely everybody in showbiz now or what?

We might as well get ready for it. This thing is going to be big. By next month, every news networks and half the cable channels will be "All Michael, All the time." Even though they deny it, CNN, in particular, claims it will stay "on course" covering the news without stooping to sensationalism. Ya sure.

And now, thanks to the February edition of Esquire Magazine, here are a few Jackson Jokes:

Q: Why was Michael Jackson kicked out of the Boy Scouts?
A: He was up to two packs a day.

Q: What is Michael Jackson's favorite college?
A: Brigham Young

Q: What did the lady at the beach say to Michael Jackson?
A: I believe you're in my son.

But seriously folks, I had a conversation with a young lady friend of mine the other day who defends Jackson with the same old line, "You know he never really had a childhood." Let's get over that one. The guy is 45-years old! Maybe when he was twenty he could have a childhood till he was thirty, or even thirty five but come on, he's heading toward the fifty mark. This story is getting really old. In fact so is this one.

I can’t help but wonder if Michael Jackson's parents ever ask themselves, "What did we do to make him this screwed up?" Most parents would, but I guess not if your son is your cash cow.

Jackson goes back to court on Febuary 13th. That is a Friday. One thing’s for sure, it is going to be a circus. And what is a circus without a freak show?
