It Pays to be Free

Michael Jackson has his freedom. This picture is totally unfair.

Hey, it really didn't matter what happened. Guilty, free, none of it really mattered in the end. The truth is, guilty people go to jail, and innocent people go to jail. Money helps you stay out of jail, and being broke as a joke makes you a possible suspect unless you have an alibi and hopefully, a lack of criminal evidence against you.

What does it matter? It's high drama for the insatiable common man and woman. The need for the next big story. The fact is, no one knows who the hell is really telling the truth, and who is lying. So, most people I know are looking for a conviction that they have a gut feeling about. They seem disturbed when I start laughing heartily. They ask me why I do this. I explain that it was funny they had an opinion. They'd ask why that was. I'd explain how I thought it was foolish because none of it really mattered, and that we just needed to talk about current events. They agreed, albeit it not without making everyone in the room feeling a little empty. Including myself, because hypocritically enough, I have my own opinion too. Funny.

Hey, are you grooving to the song? Yeah, me too. "Feelin' that beat, we gonna ride the boogie."
- actual fan reaction to the verdict. Did we contact alien life?

Well, all I'm going to say is, is that the man admittedly sleeps with boys. Has gone to court for this before, and I feel strongly that only Michael Jackson would say something as odd as, "Got milk", to a picture of a topples woman. Have men probably uttered the phrase before? I'm sure, but my "gut" says he said it. All in all, weird enough for some Martha Stewart time at most. But again, what does it matter? In all likelihood, Michael has a dollar bill of yours in the bank.
