This is from the last part of the article on msn.com.


"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."

Gee...Em being completely insensitive and disrespectful?? 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...

Sue me, Jew me
Psyche me, Kyke me

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.
