"I know I'm hoping he's innocent. "

You would think that everyone would be hoping that, wouldn't you? It amazes me how quickly everyone wants to believe the absolute worst is true regarding anyone in hollywood. A few are already almost joyfully refering to the "treatment" he'd get in prison like they condone prison rape.

I was skeptical (before these current charges) and then I read the "Smoking gun" affidavit. I'm not anymore. Have you read it?

Picture any man Michael Jackson's age that doesn't have himself made up to look androgynous and non-masculine, non-threatening.

These men may not be his age, but I'll just throw a few out here.

Mel Gibson, Russell Crowe, Lenny Kravitz, Bruce Willis, George Clooney, Denzel Washington.

Now picture any of these men going on TV and saying they have boys sleep over and it's an act of love to share their bed. Who'd go for it? Nobody.

Michael Jackson has used his surgery and image to appear non-masculine and non-threatening to make his predatory behavior with boys more acceptable to the general public.

Jackson actions are the reasons most people are quick to condemn him. That documentary last year and then the baby dangling, and the way he fed the baby. It's just plain wierd. Not to mention, the whole Neverland Ranch.

It would be one thing if someone accused President Bush of child molestation. He doesn't come across as the type. He doesn't have a ranch like an amusement park. He's never dangled babies over a balcony. He's never been on television saying how wonderful it is to sleep with a child.

MJ comes off as a sick pedeophile.
