oh, and this is pretty funny: http://visualguidanceltd.blogspot.com/2009/07/joe-jackson-private-midnight-memorial.html
and finally, here's my little MJ story which shows I have a heart:
IV gone back in the old unpublished draft archive and dug out some skeletons. As I mentioned earlier, I like to think I haven't gone crazy, but that I continue a long tradition of the same. So for the 5 people who regularly peruse this blog and used to frequent The Perfect American (now an overstocked library), I offer some posts that never quite made it past the cutting room...I'll also be compiling all of my Michael Jackson YouTube Videos, which have somehow found a mainstream audience, including CNN, and myriad foreign blogs and tabloid rags, which I never knew existed until the YouTube Anal-attics button under each of my videos told me so.
BETween the CNN/Anderson Cooper Monkey story, which I apparently researched for them after I found and riposted the sweetest little Moonwalking Bubbles clip, quaintly titled with neither the words 'Bubbles' 'Moonwalk' or 'Jackson', from a Japanese YouTuber, who has now included all three of these words into his new title and who is currently looking at around 90,000 views, and my 'Jackson Ghost' video, which distinguishes itself from the other hundred Jackson Ghost videos currently on YouTube, by being first and having a spotlit, halo detail of the ghost for easy viewing...and so much more, I've been busy trying to tune in, interpret, and redirect the powerful Jacko vortex swirling in the web. Also, thanks to IFC, who started me on my current ascendancy to one million views (should be any day now), with their embedding of the first video I ever posted, the "Night of the Iguana" Trailer, which started out two weeks ago at an emaciated three-digit viewership to become one of my biggest producers, with around 20k. And if that weren't enough, Beware of the Blog repainted a little tossed-off Michael Jackson EBay poem (and I know that because there were actually people on this blog that weren't from Seoul or searching for Pussy*).
My Jacksonian State of mind stems from the fact that when I was 13-years-old, my idol (besides Jerry Lee) died, and even without the Internet, it was a weird fucking month afterward. In fact I can remember (and am getting right now the same feeling although a little less intense), which I recall from Grocery Store, Tabloid, Checkout, Point of Purchase Stands and the massing of cheap paperbacks, not to mention what substituted for TMZ back in the day--Giraldo and shows like 20/20 (possibly the worst News Magazine TV show ever).You see, ELVIS PRESLEY WAS MY FIRST CONCERT IN 1977 WHEN I WAS THIRTEEN(and remember that, because apparently it will make you cry at the end of this paragraph, say two people). And so every time (but not until now did I fully realize how much) a celebrity dies, I get a little whiff of that 1977 air, blue eye shadow, punk rock, really good porn, Trans-Am's, bad music on the radio, Catholic Girls in Uniform, and 7-11 Slurpee Cuba Libra's. So thanks MJ for the memories. And truth be told, I was all immune to your shit, 'till on a far corner of the Web one night at around 5AM, I found myself on a Romanian Video Site called Trilulu, which I belong to, and there I found a video posted by a thirteen-year-old Romanian girl...it was of you, and I don't even remember what song it was now, because the thing that made me cry was the fact that the title was decorated with hearts and stars.

My Famous Michael Jackson Essay...Be Careful, It might make you cry...by visualguidanceltd.blogspot.com — BackType
Balloon Boy on Wife Swap - i used to love Wife Swap when I watched TV, Now I like it More!
Falcon Heene is the six-year-old balloon boy that was featured on Wife Swap. Balloon boy's family was shown on Wife Swap twice in celebration of the http://www.sodahead.com/entertainment... 100th episode of Wife Swap. Falcon Heene's father, Richard Heene, is a storm chase and scientist. Balloon boy Falcon Heene was believed to have hijacked a helium hot air balloon. It was later found that balloon boy was never aboard the runaway balloon, but instead, hidden in the garage.

BBC NEWS | Americas | US balloon parents 'face charges'US balloon parents 'face charges'
The balloon is believed to have broken free from the boy's family homeA sheriff in the US state of Colorado says the parents of a boy mistakenly believed to have been carried away by a helium balloon will face charges.
Sheriff Jim Alderden was speaking after interviewing the parents of Falcon Heene, aged six, for a second time.
The boy was feared to have been in a weather balloon which flew away on Thursday, but was later found at home.
Sheriff Alderden had earlier said that he did not think Richard and Mayumi Heene were behind a deliberate hoax.
He has not specified what charges will be brought, but the couple have not been arrested.
"We were looking at Class 3 misdemeanour, which hardly seems serious enough given the circumstances," Sheriff Alderden said.
A search warrant is being obtained for the couple's home in Fort Collins, and Sheriff Alderden raised the possibility of federal charges, saying that he was talking to the Federal Aviation Administration
The Heenes are expected to give a press conference later.
'Not staged'
The disappearance of Falcon Heene became a media drama that gripped the nation.
Suspicions were aroused when the child, when asked on TV why he had stayed hidden, said "we did this for a show".
The boy, his two brothers and his parents gave numerous TV interviews late on Thursday and early Friday.
His father, Richard Heene, insisted that his son's disappearance was not staged.
He and his wife Mayumi have previously appeared on the reality TV show Wife Swap, leading to speculation in the media that the latest incident might have been a publicity stunt.
US news networks devoted hours of live coverage to the drama on Thursday after it was reported the boy might be in a balloon floating high over Colorado.
When the aircraft landed in fields there was no trace of him, prompting a major ground search and further fears for his safety.
Officials said Falcon Heene may have hid because he was scaredIt was finally announced that the boy had been found alive and well in the roof-space of the garage at his family's home.
In spite of quick denials from his father, speculation that the Heenes had faked the entire incident persisted, when the family appeared on more US TV talk shows.
And in a bizarre twist, Falcon himself became physically ill while his father was asked direct questions on ABC and NBC about whether or not they had staged an elaborate hoax.
Mr Heene battled on while his son was being sick, telling his NBC interviewer there was "absolutely" no hoax.
He repeated the statement on Saturday, prior to being interviewed by the sheriff, telling reporters at his house there had been "absolutely no hoax".
