This just in: Michael Jackson is still nuts
As if you needed to be told, but Jacko is still wacko. After his child molestation trial, he basically got the hell out of Dodge, er, the United States, and high-tailed it for Bahrain.
Continuing his tradition of covering himself with inappropriate things (sequin jackets, surgical face masks, ghastly white skin), Jackson showed up at a mall sporting a black robe and veil, the likes of which only the subjugated and oppressed women of the world typically wear.
The poorly written edited AP article, which repeats the part about him wearing the robe and veil three times, gets into marginally more detail:
The 47-year-old pop star was accompanied by three children, apparently his, whose faces were covered with dark scarves. They wore yellow shirts and sweat pants or khakis, without robes.
So what’s the lesson here? If you want to make sure nobody can tell who you are, be sure to make a scene. Sure, they won’t know for sure that you’re the King of Pop, but if you make an ass of yourself in the right way enough times, the whole world will be able to narrow down the list of who might be walking around a mall in an obscure country with kids wearing bags on their heads.
That’s Michael Jackson for you — always discrete.

i am sure these kids will grow up to be solid, hard-working and productive citizens.
