Forgetting Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was a pedophile. He spent tens of millions of dollars silencing his victims, and millions more on lawyers complicit in his charade. It is disgusting to see the amount of mainstream media fawning the self-described King of Pop is now receiving. Yes, he was a transformative figure in the music industry. But so what? He was a pedophile, and that should be his legacy. To excuse such abhorrent behavior because he could sing and dance is an indication of how society has misplaced its priorities.

Tens of thousands of children die every day in squalor and silence. Where's the outrage and outpouring of sympathy over that? It seems the world just shakes its head and moves on. I for one hope this misplaced adulation of Michael Jackson will end soon. He was a pedophile, and should not be missed.
