we need MJJC behind us for this! we should silent this woman!! this is utterly sick, coming from guardian!!
This paper does NOt represent everyone. Michael sold out in LOndon. That says it all to me. But yes, I will write still.yes, but this wasnt the odd Jack @SS, this was like nearly 50% if not more, and that upset me deeply
Haha, this lady is a loon. She is likely someone who knew little of Jackson. She's a "freelance journalist" because she writes comedy bits with good punctuation and sells them where she can.
I don't know what this paper is, or it's status as far as reputable source vs. tabloid is concerned, but its not worth the effort. The sad fact is that people who aren't Jackson fans or who haven't taken the time to read up on him probably feel similar to how she does, and people who are fans will find this article crap.
You know what they say about opinions....
By posting this it's getting way more attention than it would. Why post it? Let these things die off already.
A defamatory statement is one which tends to lower the claimant in the estimation of right-thinking members of society generally (Sim v Stretch [1936] 2 ALL ER 1237) and can be split into two areas: libel (this is recorded defamatory material) and slander (spoken). .
I had just registered at the Guardian website to write my complaints when I saw that it is no longer possible to comment on this particular article. 422 Comments were posted, I suspect and hope many of those were complaining about the article and the author of that said article.
I will now write a complaint about this freelance journalist and the nature of this article to the press complaints commission!
Thats the easy thing to do. The fact is this sort of thing, with incorrect information should not be allowed to be published and its about time the estate bothered to stand against it.
Peter Andre sued a tabloid for defamation for printing a story saying he made "inappropriate advances toward a Jordan lookalike while still married" he won his case and was awarded damages, yet this kind of thing about Michael Jackson goes unchallenged?
Can people really bleach their skin? I didn't think that was possible. :scratch:and clause 1 - innaccurate information.
Can't believe what I've just seen on channel 4. There is a program on called 'Bleach, Nip and Tuck' about people wanting to change their race. The program opened with Michael Jackson as an example. I have made a thread in Enough is Enough. You can complain to Ofcom.

In that case it is seriously sick and twisted and not a serious newspaper at all. Somebody should sue them for printing such an article.The moderator of the article is removing comments which post facts about the trials yet are leaving on offensive comments towards MJ and even towards the author.. hmm? Now they have made it necessary for comments to be moderated before they are posted and seem to be only letting comments which agree with the article. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
