I like how the article ends with the most totally useless fact.

QuoteMICHAEL Jackson starred as the Scarecrow in The Wiz, the 1978 musical version of  The Wizard of Oz – playing the character without a brain opposite Diana Ross as Dorothy.

I was scared of the scene in The Wiz where the trashcans try to eat them.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

'Ghost' of Michael Jackson caught on camera pacing the corridors of Neverland

Everyone loves a ghost story.

But only the most one-eyed of Michael Jackson fans could see anything in the latest supposedly creepy goings-on at Neverland.

Footage from a TV crew's tour of the King Of Pop's now deserted ranch, which appeared on the respected Larry King show in the US, has been seized on by believers of the supernatural.

They are trying to persuade YouTube visitors that a shadow filmed in one of the unending hallways is actually Jacko's ghostly presence.

The alleged sighting is the latest in a string of bizarre rumours to emerge after his death nearly two weeks ago.

These include reports the late singer will tour the world via hologram and that he will be buried without his brain.

Neither Miko Brando - the son of screen legend Marlon - nor his cameraman noticed the spectre during their trip to the California ranch.

But after it was posted on YouTube, rumours have spread like wildfire across the internet.

Viewer comments and chat forums have debated in earnest the possibility that the shadow belongs to Jackson himself.

Jackson was a huge fan of JM Barrie's Peter Pan, the little boy who never grew up (as the name of his ranch suggests) and lost his shadow before Wendy sewed it back on.

On YouTube, one user said: 'Yes, that is MJ, even the hair style silhouette everything..!! Immortal!'

Another wrote: 'That is so weird. I have played it over five times now and I have to admit that it does resemble MJ. I can't believe I am saying that actually. It's his image.'

But others were not so convinced.

'It is the shadow of a TV crew person in the room, idiot people. Get a grip... that's not genuine ghost footage!' wrote tubs1000.

Looks like the reflection of a person walking by behind the camera reflecting off the glass and then the camera lens. Meh. You knew shit like this would happen though. Elvis haunts Graceland too, right?

I think I mentioned this before, but I still miss Bill Clinton:

Quote"He was an immensely gifted man and I think he basically meant well," Clinton told The Associated Press. "I know about all the trouble he had in his life and I hope he will be remembered for his contribution as an artist. I hope his children turn out well. That would be the greatest tribute you could have."

Yowch  :lol:
