| Vigils Held Worldwide for Michael Jackson - (No kidding) |
| 2003-11-22 |
| Michael Jackson fans held candlelight vigils around the world Saturday to support the pop megastar as he faces allegations of child molestation. I did not make this up, I say again, I did not make this up. Faisal Malik, 29, a Los Angeles fan who helped organize a gathering near Jackson’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, said he believes the performer is innocent. And I believe Faisal’s an imbecile. "No other entertainer ever has opened his house so much to people," Malik said in a telephone interview. "True charity comes from the heart." I just pissed myself w/laughter Rallies were scheduled through the weekend in more than a dozen cities, including New York, Budapest and Rome. Others were planned over the next week in China and Australia. More people are expected to actually show up then at the anti-Boosh rallies in London, weather permitting of course. Jackson surrendered to Santa Barbara County authorities on Thursday after an arrest warrant was issued alleging that he committed lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14. Authorities have said they expect to file formal charges sometime after Thanksgiving. After posting $3 million bail, Jackson flew to Las Vegas, where he had been working on a video. But his attorney, Mark Geragos, told the Los Angeles Times he planned to meet with Jackson at the star’s Neverland ranch near Santa Barbara on Saturday. Geragos, who has said Jackson denies the charges, did not return repeated calls Saturday from The Associated Press. In Paris, ‘you knew this was coming’ about 60 fans gathered on the Champs Elysees and marched through crowds of shoppers to the Arc de Triomphe. They held candles and banners with slogans of support and sang "We Are the World," the 1985 African famine relief anthem written by Jackson and Lionel Richie. Get a life losers. "It’s really hard for us," said Pascale Hatot, a 37-year-old fan from the suburbs of Paris. "I haven’t been able to sleep or eat for three days." Holy f*ck, I’m pissing myself again over that one. Supporters in Rome gathered at the foot of the Spanish Steps just after darkness fell. They held candles and a sign in Italian that read: "Michael: Accused but not guilty!" "There is an interest to see him fall as a man and as an artist," said Fabrizio Basili, a 30-year-old man from Rome who wore a black shirt bearing the image of Jackson’s face. "His album ’Number Ones’ came out with some of his great hits, and the same day the accusations came and this is why we’re suspicious." The great Whacko Jacko Conspiracy, the Joos and the FBI waited to launch their heinous plot at such an undisclosed yet opportune time....... Media reports have said Jackson’s alleged victim is a 12- or 13-year-old cancer survivor who visited him at Neverland, where the singer was known to hold sleep-overs for children and share his bed with youngsters. WTF!? How old is this guy?! Get friends your own age sissy boy! Stuart Backerman, a spokesman for the Jackson family, said the pop star was feeling "very positive" despite the allegations against him. "He’s fine. He’s fighting mad, that’s what he is. He’s outraged at these allegations. But he is doing fine," Backerman said Saturday. Backerman said Jackson had received hundreds of supportive e-mails and was buoyed by his fans’ loyalty. "Michael Jackson has said in the past that his fans are his most precious resource Sorry Fred, I know this off topic. MJ is what I call a domestic terrorist - first, for shitty music, and now, for being a pedofiler of little kids. |

| #1 I know you didn't make this up. I was flipping the TV off after seeing this on every news channel! And can you guess where Fox News taped a quick talk with the head of one of these 'vigils'? If you said Paris, you're wrong! It was Berlin. |
