21. Journalists My Ass - They Are $10. Ho's

If one ever wanted to know what it would be like to dose an entire industry with Viagra, just hang onto your garter belts for the Michael Jackson trial of the millenia. The media's ten dollah Ho's will be scratching each others eyes out to get the latest bit of info on the King of Pop's dangly bits.

I have written all three cable news networks asking that they add a map of Michael's genitals to the floor map they currently use for the Middle East and Iraq. They could have lawyers and doctors walk around and point out significant testimony using the relief map of Michael's "bad touch" areas. I also asked them to dig really deep to find a connection between Scott&Laci and Mike so we can see how this all fits together in the "big picture".

22. excellent ...

thanks for the chuckle ...

you really got me with that one !!

[upperleftedge]

23. Jacko & the 'journalist'

Funny there was an CNN poll asking if you will be following the Michael Jackson trial and 69% said "not at all". So how come all the "journalist" if no one wants to watch? Yep, distraction, distraction, distraction.

24. Are you kidding they have had a chance to shove it down their throats yet

You can sell anything with enough publicity

25. Front page.

Very good. Sad but funny.

[go west young man]

26. Good Headline!

Pigs at the Trough might have been another good one. Amazing how enthusiastic they get over pure crap. It may seem insignificant to some but this is why America is really going down the tubes. These aren't reporters. They are bottom dwellers looking for scraps.

[V Lee]

27. Who actually considers these trials "news?"

I got so sick of seeing the Scott Peterson trial on the 24 hr news channels I almost :puke:

[rman]

28. only the mainstream media do

29. Perfect kick in the pants for our F$%#ed-up media

What a bunch of losers.

[elwoodblues6986]

30. Yeah!!!

I still can't believe that so many people are soooooo convinced of his guilt. I think anybody that has listened to any of his music or heard any of his speeches when he receives awards and whatnot would have a hard time believing that he would commit any sort of serious crime like that. Also, anybody that has looked into his past will notice that he had a terrible childhood. Money, yes, but by no means normal or loving. Believe it or not, MJ also has a very religious background (that might not help his case.... but still).

The point is simply that of all the people to do this, I'd say he's the last on my list, even if he is somewhat weird.

[Toucano]

31. You're "very, very devilish"! n/t

[ast_liberal2008]

32. the 'real' problem

At least we know what's important now.

[rocktivity]

33. Read this DU thread if you haven't

about the alleged 72% turnout rate of the Iraqi voters. The way everyone was ripping on that, no wonder I found this so funny!

[swimmernsecretsea]

35. Suckers!

Not much of a story--and so many other things worthwhile to cover.
I used to live in Santa Maria (or, "Sand up my Rear") and there's not a damn thing to do that's fun there. Hope they love it.
