It would reportedly be placed next to his pet chimpanzee, "Bubbles," who is on display at a Body Worlds exhibit in London.

The exhibition is at the O2 Center, the same venue where Jackson was due to perform starting next month. Von Hagens told the newspaper that one of Michael's final requests was to be reunited with Bubbles.


Well, that would be kind of hard considering that Bubbles is actually still alive.

Hmm. It saddens me that people are still making fun of the man even though he has died (not that it wasn't bad before). He was a very ill man. He was not a paedophile, he was a man who suffered abuse at the hands of his father and as a result never grew up properly. Sleeping in a bed with young boys meant nothing to him sexualy because he wasn't mentally 'old' enough to think things like that. The boys were just his frineds. Besides I don't know if anyone actually bothered reading the facts, that being that the child who made the allegations turned out to just be after money. Whatever...

Rest in peace Michael. May your demons haunt you no more.


This is one of the best responses to his death I've seen all week. Very well put.

couldn't agree more...and I now feel intense regret for believing the molestation rumors, despite the fact that again, he's my all time favorite music artist.

Rest well, Michael; you were a trooper 'til the end!

ill say it:

you people who keep joking about the boy-touching

are

f u c k i n g
COWARDS

The only reason you keep joking, despite no "young boys" being touched, but two teens' parents lying about it
is because its SAFER for you to stick w the MOB.
the MOB always wants him, and its safer for COWARDS to stick w the comforting majority.

the guy was aquitted twice. you dont SUE a real pedo, you hang him.

the man's DEAD, and you as*holes are still cracking your coward little jokes about him.

Yeah, I believed the mob for the longest time, and I'm ashamed that I did.

Just remember this: if he was David Bowie or Billy Idol, NO ONE would've cared; it's cause he was Michael Jackson that anyone paid any interest. He was the best, and everyone wants to take the best down cause they can't live up to it.

I didn't know a lot about Michael Jackson, but I do know that he had some really awesome songs.

After thinking about I consider it wrong to make jokes about child abuse and MJ. It is not the type of thing which should be the subject of jokes.

I think that ZEGH8578 is right that simple suing a pedophile to make money is not normally right.

But MJ wasn't a pedophile...so does that make it a bit better? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


But seriously, he was my all time favorite musician, and nothing will ever change that. And I still feel bad about believing him to be a pedo.

About the question of him being a pedophile, I think that he was displaying some "red flags". A red flag is a strong warning but it does not mean if you see one that you are already in danger. It means stop, think and maybe get expert advice.

You will see a red flag in the following locations, at the beach when it is not safe to go into the water, near a rifle range and near a quary when explosives are about to be used. The red flag is used to mark a possible danger zone. I think that Michael Jackson's habits such as sleeping with kids were things which which would make me pay very close attention. Even if nothing was going on, if I had a young child I would not have given Michael Jackson unsupervised access to the child.

There are very few people who I would give totally unsupervised access to a child of mine.
