As home to pop legend Michael Jackson, Neverland Ranch housed a working locomotive, a Ferris wheel and other amusement park rides, a 10,000-volume library and a zoo.
But could the opulent Santa Barbara County estate become home to California's newest state park?
A resolution is in the works to order state parks officials to study converting the roughly 2,600-acre property into a state park. The state NAACP is backing the idea, and a lawmaker has signaled he is on board to carry the legislation.
"I think Michael's history is world history and I think it would become the No. 1 attraction for the state parks if we could pull it off," said state NAACP President Alice Huffman, who also serves on the state Parks Commission.

Q: Why did Michael Jackson like twenty eight year olds?
A: Because there were twenty of them.
Just don’t let your children go there. The reason should be obvious.
NEVER!!!
The jokes just write themselves...starting with the NAACP.
I can’t believe the locals are going to go for this. That’s a fairly secluded and quiet area of California, that plays home to cattle ranchers, vintners and billionaire hide-a-ways. It’s unlikely that they would be pleased with attempts at bringing a carnival-like state park to their neighborhood.
Tea Party racists will be barred from the park.
Shouldn’t this be treated as a message? “Hello, NAACP! Great work overturning the racist laws of the past. Those laws have been repealed and are enforced. You are finished. Thank you. Turn off the lights and go home.”
I read the title and was absolutely convinced this was satire. Please tell me this is satire.
Edifice to an Orifice?
racism by whitey = bad....
pedophilia = look the other way.....
Transcript of Bashir interview. Video of it also.
Excerpt:
Jackson: "When you say bed, you're thinking sexual, they make that sexual, it's not sexual." "We're going to sleep, I tuck them in and I put a little like, er, music on and when it's story time I read a book." "We go to sleep with the fireplace on. I give them hot milk, you know, we have cookies, it's very charming, it's very sweet, it's what the whole world should do."
[snip]
Bashir: "Did you ever sleep in the bed with them?"
Jackson: "No. But I have slept in a bed with many children. "I slept in a bed with all of them when Macauley Culkin was little: Kieran Culkin would sleep on this side, Macauley Culkin was on this side, his sisters in there...we all would just jam in the bed, you know. "We would wake up like dawn and go in the hot air balloon, you know, we had the footage. I have all that footage."
Bashir: "But is that right Michael?"
Jackson: "It's very right. It's very loving, that's what the world needs now, more love more heart."
Bashir: "The world needs a man who's 44 who's sleeping in a bed with children?"
Jackson: "No, you're making it - no, no you're making it all wrong ..."
Bashir: "Well, tell me, help me ..."
Jackson: "Because what's wrong with sharing a love? You don't sleep with your kids? Or some other kid who needs love who didn't have a good childhood?"
Bashir: "No, no I don't. I would never dream ..."
Jackson: "That's because you've never been where I've been mentally ..."

Q. When is bedtime at the Neverland Ranch?
A. When the big hand touches the little hand!
If you are white you will never get in any how.
And, this is a surprise to whom??
Q. Now that we have a black president, why does the NAACP still vote on racist questions?
A. Because when it does other things, it is are stupid stuff like buying a child molester’s old amusement park.
That wasn't really meant to be a joke.
That means it will be trashed within six months. Just turn it into public housing and they will destroy it and it can then be torn down.
They want a park. But it and run it. You got billions......stop asking the taxpayer to pick up your tab.
