LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Michael Jackson is angered by the way he is mocked in rapper Eminem's recently released video Just Lose It and has asked cable music stations to remove the video from their rotations.

In the video, Eminem is costumed as Jackson and is seen with a group of boys in the background, jumping around as he sings about Jackson's child molestation allegations: "Come here, little kiddie, on my lap. Guess who's back with a brand new rap." Source

What else could I possibly do to make noise?
I done touched on everything, but little boys
That's not a stab at Micheal
That's just a metaphor, I'm just physco
I go a little bit crazy sometimes
I get a little bit out of control with my rhymes
The article says BET has agreed to pull the lyrics cause it was wrong to disrespect an artist like Wacko. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] Um... better abandon ever playing Slim Shady again, hmmm...

Don't fret Em, BET won't side with you -- you ain't black! [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Jackson's a Wacko Jacko, and someone's gonna side with him over Em? Damn. Dumb. Scum.

This is the kind of crap that reminds me of many of my favorite Slim Shady quotes, the most applicable in this situation being one of these two:

Quote:

If I had one wish, it'd be for a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss.
or
Quote:

when I was underground, no one gave a *bleep* I was white, no labels wanted to sign me, almost gave up, I was like, *bleep* it, until I met Dre, the only one to look past, gave me a chance, and I lit a fire up under his ass, helped him get back to the top, every fan black that I got, was probably his in exchange for every white fan that he's got, like damn, we just swapped, sittin' back lookin' at shit, wow, i'm like my skin is it starting to work to my benefit now?
Guess not, Em.

<font color=plum>This is from the last part of the article on msn.com.

<font color=white>
"Michael feels the video is disrespectful and offensive...it's one thing to spoof someone, it's another to be completely insensitive and disrespectful," said Bain."</font>

Gee...Em being completely insensitive and disrespectful?? :eek: Who would have expected THAT???? That's ALL Eminem is - completely rude and disrespectful.

Michael Jackson may be a Wacko.....but his artistic ability is still light years ahead of anything Eminem will ever possess. And if Jacko hadn't gone "Wacko" - there wouldn't be another artist (living or dead) that could touch his ability or success (with the possible exception of Elvis). He wasn't called the "King of Pop" for nothing.

There WAS a time when Jackson had the power to tell the networks what to do. No other artist has had the clout to demand all 3 major networks broadcast a video simultaneously in primetime - but they did it for Michael. Unfortunately for Wacko, those Glory Days are long gone.

I do agree it's more than a bit hypocritical of Jackson to be upset by Eminem's song and video when he did a song directed (allegedly) at the father of the first boy he was accused of molesting back in the early 90's. Don't remember the name of the song, but it's on the HIStory album and the lyrics are...

<font color=white>Sue me, Jew me
Psyche me, Kyke me
</font>

It's considered to be a direct reference to the father of the boy because the song was released shortly after the first allegation was settled out of court and because the father was Jewish.</font>

<font color=plum>My deepest apologies, <font color=white>Johnny</font>. You are absolutely correct. I allowed laziness to overcome common dignity. I have edited the post to correct this most egregious error. :D </font>

Maybe Michael Jackson should start some kind of campaign to stop people from discriminating against peodophiles. They could have a million nonce march on Washington DC, where they made speeches about dreams involving four children.
