Does anyone know if Michael Jackson is into enemas?

The Gandhi Nobody Knows
by Richard Grenier

(excerpt from Grenier's 1983 review of the film "Ghandi")

"I cannot honestly say I had any reasonable expectation that the film would show scenes of Gandhi's pretty teenage girl followers fighting "hysterically" (the word was used) for the honor of sleeping naked with the Mahatma and cuddling the nude septuagenarian in their arms. (Gandhi was "testing" his vow of chastity in order to gain moral strength for his mighty struggle with Jinnah.) When told there was a man named Freud who said that, despite his declared intention, Gandhi might actually be *enjoying* the caresses of the naked girls, Gandhi continued, unperturbed. Nor, frankly, did I expect to see Gandhi giving daily enemas to all the young girls in his ashrams (his daily greeting was, "Have you had a good bowel movement this morning, sisters?"), nor see the girls giving him *his* daily enema. Although Gandhi seems to have written less about home rule for India than he did about enemas, and excrement, and latrine cleaning ("The bathroom is a temple. It should be so clean and inviting that anyone would enjoy eating there"), I confess such scenes might pose problems for a Western director."

You know, on second thought, I might have posted a better reason why the comparison between Gandhi and Michael Jackson is foolish (although that one alone would probably be enough to make Jermaine wish he hadn't gone there). Gandhi devoted a good part of his life, fortune and talents to the cause of Indian independence. Michael Jackson has devoted an increasing part of his life, fortune and talents to...amusing himself. (I'm not sure how serial surgeon-assisted self-mutilation fits in there, but it obviously does.)

Ah, yes ! The old LIBERAL perpetrator is actually a victim routine ! ...

Jermaine Jackson has lent support to tainted brother Michael Jackson and said that he has been victimized.

"This is a modern-day lynching ...

Poor Mikey !! ...

So which one(s) does the old statement apply to ??:

When ya lay down with dogs, you're gonna get fleas ...

They may weigh the same

"They may weigh the same"

They may taste the same also,
but that is one test that I am *NOT* going to perform.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Oh ugh! I did not need to know that.

Reading about Whacko Jacko is bad enough.

I never bought into the Saint Gandhi bit but I never knew that he was a flipping perv.
